οἱ δε την ἀναδενδράδα οὕτω καλεῖσθαι

Grammatical information: f.

Meaning: `vine trained on two poles' (Epich., Sapph.,).

Other forms: gen. - υδος (Sapph.). = ἄμπελος η γένος σταφυλῆς H.; σταφυλῆς γένος, οἱ δε την ἀναδενδράδα οὕτω καλεῖσθαι Suid.

Origin: PG [a word of Pre-Greek origin]

Etymology: Fur. 212 compares ἀμαξίς γένος σταφυλῆς ἀπὸ ἀναδενδράδος H., which is no doubt correct. The word shows reduplication. The further connection with βῆκα· ἀναδενδράς H. is of course very doubtful; better, though still doubtful, the comparison with Hitt. maḫla-. Cf. also Kuiper FS Kretschmer 215 n. 15. This is a typical substr. word (wrong Alessio, Studi Etr. 33, 1965, 718).
