γλαῦξ, - κόςGrammatical information: f.Meaning: `the little owl, Athene noctua' (Com., Arist.).Other forms: LSJ notes γλαύξ. There is also a γλαύξ `wart cress' (Dsc.) which is also given as γλάξ (Hdn. Gr. 1.395 etc.)Origin: PG [a word of Pre-Greek origin]X [probably]Etymology: By the ancients derived from γλαυκός; rejected by Thompson Birds s. v. as folketymology; thus also Pötscher (s.s.v. γλαυκῶπις). Some bird names with k-suffix noted by Specht Ursprung 204 (IE?); note πέρδιξ and the many Pre-Greek words in -ξ (Beekes, Pre-Greek on word end). Etym. unknown. The variation in the word for `cress' points to a Pre-Greek word (which is anyhow probable), but it is not sure that the words have the same origin.Page in Frisk: 1,311Greek-English etymological dictionary (Ελληνικά-Αγγλικά ετυμολογική λεξικό) > γλαῦξ
