WP. 2, 581 ff., Pok. 943 f. -- Lat. LW [loanword] scorpius, -iō, Russ. LW [loanword] skórpij. -- As stated prob. a Pre-Greek word. Furnée (index!) thinks that all words with (s)kr(m)P- contain the same Pre-Greek word; cf. κάραβος, καράμβιος, * σκαραβαῖος, κεράμβυξ, κεράμβηλον, κηραφίς, γραψαῖος. This is perh. possible, but it cannot be considered certain. One notes that all forms clearly have καρα(μ)P-, but that γραψαῖος and σκορπιος do not have a vowel between ρ and the (nasal +) labial (the presence of a vowel agrees with the (pre)nasalization).Page in Frisk: 2,738-739Greek-English etymological dictionary (Ελληνικά-Αγγλικά ετυμολογική λεξικό) > σκορπίος
