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

Etymology: Orig. technical word of sailors language; without convincing etymology. A very doubtful hypothesis (Lat. tullius etc.) s. τύλη, τύλος. -- Furnée 256 connects θάλασσα\/* σάλασσα (s.v.) and ζάλη, ζάλος `tornado, whirlpool' and concludes that the word is Pre-Greek. This is confirmed\/shown by the suffixes - αγ-, - ακ-, - αγκ-; cf. σηλαγγεύς (s.v.). -- Lat. LW [loanword] salus, salum ?

Origin: IE [Indo-European] [559] * konis `ashes'

Etymology: κόνις differs from Lat. cinis, - eris m. (f.) in the o-vocalism (e: o); the s-stem seen in ciner-is and cinis-culus can also be assumed for κονίσ-σαλος, κεκόνισ-μαι, κονί̄ω \< *κονισ-ι̯ω, κονί-α \< *κονισ-α (details in Scheller Oxytonierung 49f.). The word was perhaps originally an neutr. is-(i-?)stem; s. Benveniste Origines 34, Specht Ursprung 298. The basis may hace been a lost verb meaning `scratch, plane, scour'; one also compares - κναίω.
