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

Etymology: The forms with - νεψ-, - νοψ- may have been dissimilated from - μεψ-, - μοψ-; the pair κυάμος: πύανος is diff. evaluated. After Specht KZ 69, 133 ff. *πύαμος (to IE. * pu-, * peu- `blow, swell') would be the original form, from where both κύαμος and πύανος originated. Brugmann (lastly ⁴ 50) and Güntert Reimwortbildungen 124 f. consider, hardly probable, Πυαν-όψια, πύανος as a mixed form from Κυαν- and Παν-όψια, of which the latter from IE. ḱu̯-, "allegroform" of ḱuu̯- in κύαμος. In gen. κύαμος is considered as a foreign word (Chantraine Formation 133, Schwyzer 494, Krahe Die Antike 15, 181, Kuiper Μνήμης χάριν 1,215 w.n.19). However, κύαμος could also be IE. and be derived from κυέω, s. Bq and Strömberg Pflanzennamen 51 (but there is no IE - αμ-). - Fur., following Kuiper l.c., remarks that κυαμ- \/ κυμ-ηχ\/κ- proves the Pre-Greek character of the word. On π-\/κ- Fur. 388.
