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

Etymology: Mostly connected with κέρας, first to the old u-stem in κερα(Ϝ)-ός (s. v.); but the differences of meaning and the morphological details are not well explained; improbable. Chantraine Mélanges Glotz 165ff. considers therefore for κόρυς Mediterraneann origin (in the framework of the soc. `protidg. Schicht'); not to κορυφή, κόρυμβος, κόρυδος, κορύνη. The forms κορυδ-ών, - αλ(λ)-ος point to a Pre-Greek word (Fur. 195).

κόρυδος (- δός)

Grammatical information: m. (f.)

Meaning: `(crested) lark, Alauda cristata' (Ar., Pl., Arist.); enlarged forms with ν- and λ(λ)-suffixes (Chantraine Formation 360f. a. 246f.):;

Other forms: κάρυδοι καρύδαλοι H.

Derivatives: κορυδῶνες pl. (Arist. HA 609a 7; cf. below), κορύδαλ(λ)ος (Arist.; v. l. - αλλός), - αλλός (Theoc., Babr.), - αλλά (Epich., sicil. inscr.), - αλλίς (Simon., Theoc.). PN Κόρυδος, - ύδων, - υδαλλός, - υδεύς (s. Boßhardt Die Nom. auf - ευς 132).

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

Etymology: To κόρυς `helm' with δο-suffix (cf. the simlar instances in Schwyzer 508 and Chantraine 359); a t-enlargement perhaps in a German. word for `deer', e. g. OS hirot, OHG hiruz (IE. *ḱeru-d-). Cf. with - θ- (as in κόρυθ-): κόρυθος εἷς τις τῶν τροχίλων and κορύθων ἀλεκτρυών H. - The form κορυδῶνες (s. above) can hardly be correct; one expects *κορυδόνες (as χελιδόνες etc.) or evtl. κορύδωνες. - See on κόρυδος etc. Thompson Birds s. κορύδαλος. The form κάρυδος is the older one: α \> [ο] before following υ (so not to be `corrected, as Fur. 345, who had not seen the rule); so derivation from κόρυς is impossible. Note that - αλ(λ)- is also a Pre-Greek suffix (*-al^y-), s. Beekes, FS Kortlandt.
