Grammatical information: m.Meaning: `(thick) liquid flour dough, pulp of flour, honey and oil', often presented as sacrifice, `sacificial cake' (A., E., Pl., Att. inscr., Herod.); name of a weight or coin (Delph., Arg. V--IIIa), = ὀβολός (Nic. Al. 488);Other forms: - ός Hdn. Gr. 1, 178.Derivatives: Cf. πέλανορ τὸ τετράχαλκον, πέλαινα πόπανα, μειλίγματα H. -- On πελάχνιν τρύβλιον ἐκπέταλον H. s. πέτα-χνον (s. πετάννυμι).Origin: PG [a word of Pre-Greek origin]X [probably]Etymology: As the orig. meaning of this old word is uncertain, the etymology is also uncertain. If prop. `flat cake, flat dough', for which esp. πέλανος as coin-name seems to argue (Solmsen KZ 42, 213), then the old connection (since Fick 1, 477) with Lat. plānus `flat, level' = Lith. plónas `thin', plóne `flan, cake' would be correct. On the ablaut cf. πέλαγος. -- Other proposals: to Skt. párīṇas- n. `sullness, riches' (: πίμπλημι [but this would have given *πελενος; not to πολύς]; Specht KZ 61, 284ff. with agreement of Kretschmer Glotta 26, 67, Fraenkel Mél. Bq 1, 358 n. 1, Havers Sprachtabu 135; rejecting W.-Hofmann s. pulpa); to Lith. pilù, pìlti `shake, pour' (Persson Beitr. 2, 748 n. 1); to πόλτος (Lidén Stud. 87f. with Lagercrantz); to Lith. pel̃nas `merit, pay' (Mann Lang. 28, 31; to be rejected). -- Further details in Bq and WP. 2, 61, Pok. 805 f., W.-Hofmann s. plānus, Mayrhofer s. páriman-. -- Furnée 338 compares πέλαινα and concludes to a Pre-Greek word. The argument seems not certain, but the conclusion may well be correct.Page in Frisk: 2,493-494Greek-English etymological dictionary (Ελληνικά-Αγγλικά ετυμολογική λεξικό) > πέλανος
