1 κανθήλια
Grammatical information: n. pl.Meaning: `panniers on both sides of the pack-saddle' (Ar., Artem.), also `curved pieces of wood at the back of a ship', which were used when a tent was drawn up' (H.);Derivatives: - ιον acc. sg. in building `rafters' (IG 22, 463, 73); ( ὄνος) κανθήλιος `pack-ass' (Pl., Kom., X.); κανθηλικός `belonging to the pack-basket or pack-ass' (pap.). - Beside it κανθίαι σπυρίδες H., κάνθων = ὄνος κανθήλιος (Ar., AP), κανθίς ὀνίς (`dung of an ass') H.Origin: PG [a word of Pre-Greek origin]Etymology: Popular words, of which the relations to each other and to other similar formations through their technical, to us often ununderstandable meaning remain unclear or doubtfull. With κανθήλια compare κειμήλια, γαμήλιος; note τράχηλος, γαμφηλαί and other words with ηλ-suffix. κανθίαι could be another derivation without λ. ( ὄνος) κανθήλιος `ass' is secondary to κανθήλια `pack-baskets' (Debrunner IF 54, 55); κάνθων could be a short form (like Lat. cabō to caballus) (Bq 406 n. 2, W.-Hofmann s. caballus); thus κανθίς (diff. Nehring Sprache 1, 166). - From κανθήλια, - ιος Lat. cant(h) ērius `castrated stallion', also `Jochgeländer [??], rafters' (with diff. suffix) cannot be separated. Further unclear; IE. etymologies were rightly rejected by W.-Hofmann s. cant(h) ērius. Acc.to Deroy Glotta 35, 190f. Mediterranean word. - Fur. 130 connects ἀνθήλιον (Charax) with κ\/zero, and assumes Pre-Greek origin; 290 he connects κανθίαι σπυρίδες with κάθος σπυρίς. - Cf. κάνθαρος, κανθός und κανθύλη.Page in Frisk: 1,777Greek-English etymological dictionary (Ελληνικά-Αγγλικά ετυμολογική λεξικό) > κανθήλια

2 κηθίς
κηθίς, - ίδοςGrammatical information: f.Meaning: `dice-box, -beaker' (Poll. 7, 203; not quite certain);Dialectal forms: perh. Myc. kati \/kāthis\/? Neumann Glotta 39 (1961) 176 thinks it is Luwian.Derivatives: Diminutive formations: κήθιον, - ειον, - ίον (Hermipp. 27, Poll., H.), κηθάριον (Ar. V. 674), κηθίδιον (Poll.); also with metathesis of aspiration χείτιον beside κείθιον (Eust. 1259, 36) and with loss of aspiration κητίον (Alkiphr. 1, 39, 8 [Frisk notes ` κηπίον Bast.' which is unclear to me], Ath. 11, 477d cod. A).Origin: PG [a word of Pre-Greek origin]Etymology: Technical word without etymology. Fick and Solmsen KZ 33, 295f. compare κώθων `beaker' which seems improbable. - Cf. κάθος σπυρίς H., also κάθιδοι (for - ίδες?) ὑδρίαι H. (vgl. s. v.). Is κητίον reliable? if so it would be a Pre-Greek word. The change of aspiration is Ionic but the change η \/ ει is typical of Pre-Grek; (Fur. 352); a Pre-Greek word is anyhow probable.Page in Frisk: 1,837Greek-English etymological dictionary (Ελληνικά-Αγγλικά ετυμολογική λεξικό) > κηθίς
