Origin: IE [Indo-European]X [probably] [928] * (s)kel- `bend, crook'

Etymology: Prob. with κελλόν στρεβλόν, πλάγιον H. (s. κελλάς s. v.) connected; [the - υ- in κυλίνδω does not belong here]. (The adduced Skt. kuṇi- `lame of an arm' and even more kuṇḍá- n. `jar' do not belong here, s. Mayrhofer Wb. s. v.) The form is recently explained by B. Vine, Comp. Indogerm. (1999) 566 from *kol-i̯ó- (according to a variant of Cowgill's law of ο \> υ). Pok. 928; cf. also on κυρτός. Or is the word rather Pre-Greek; cf. Fur. 354 n. 55.
