Against equation with Lat. columba `dove' rightly W.-Hofmann s. v.; a common IE. * kolu-mb(h)- (- nb(h)-) is of course a phonetic nonentity. S. Pok. 547f., W.-Hofmann s. columba. Apart from the suffix - υμβ- the vatiant κολυμφάω shows a Pre-Greek word. The variation μβ \/ βδ can be most easily explained from a palatalized b (by), of which the palatal feature was lost after pernasalization, giving μβ (cf. Fur. 307 n. 117, but μόλυβδος \/ plumbum must now be given up, s.v.).Page in Frisk: 1,905-906Greek-English etymological dictionary (Ελληνικά-Αγγλικά ετυμολογική λεξικό) > κόλυμβος
