3 βαμβάκιον
Grammatical information: n.Derivatives: βαμβακοειδής, v.l. for βομβυκ- (Dsc. 3,16).Origin: XX [etym. unknown]Etymology: Cotton is first mentioned in an inscription by Sanherib. Hdt. 3,106 mentions it for India. Theophrastus says that it grew near the Persian Gulf. We find the word in MPers. pambak, from where Arm. bambak, Oss. bämbäg, WRuss. bambák (unclear Russ. bumaga `paper'). From Greek Lat. bambax, bambagium with Ital. bambagia; through influence (because of the formal and semantic resemblance?) of βόμβυξ Ital. bombagio, Fr. bombasin. (Another Gr. designations is ἐριόξυλον, cf. Germ. Baumwolle.) Pliny uses the word gossypium. Unclear is whether βύσσος in Pausanias is also cotton. Cf. βαμβακεὺτριαι. - For cotton see also κάρπασος 1.Greek-English etymological dictionary (Ελληνικά-Αγγλικά ετυμολογική λεξικό) > βαμβάκιον

4 βόμβυξ
βόμβυξ, - υκοςGrammatical information: m.Meaning: `silk-worm' (Arist.).Other forms: The length of the u is unknown.Origin: PG [a word of Pre-Greek origin]Etymology: It is now known that silk was also produced in Greece (Kos and Asia Minor) before it was introduced from the east; see Hemmerdinger, Glotta 48 (1970) 65. He cites Isidorus of Sevilla on the origin of the word: Appellatus autem hoc nomine ab eo quod evacuetur cum fila generat, et aer solus in eo remanet (Etym. VII, 5, 8); an explanation which I fail to understand. So the word will indeed be of Anatolian origin, as its structure suggests. An original *p\/bamb-ūk- (with suffix - uk-, probably with long ū) would fit exactly the structure of Pre-Greek. Schrader-Nehring 2, 381ff., DNPauly 11, 347ff.
