κλεμμύς, - ύοςGrammatical information: f.Meaning: `turtle' (Ant. Lib. 32, 2, H.).Origin: PG [a word of Pre-Greek origin]Etymology: For the formation cf. the synonymous χέλυς, ἐμύς. Orig. prob. foreign word, but connected with κλέμμα ( κλέπτω) because turtles can hide their body partly or completely under the armour(?). Cf. Güntert Reimwortbildungen 144: cross of ἐμύς and *κλωμός = Skt. kūrmá- `turtle' (IE?; cf. Mayrhofer KEWA s. v.) with - μμ- from κλέμμα. - Far-fetched suggestion. Fur. 131 compares κρέμυς `a fish with a very hard head' and χρέμυς ὁ ὀνίσκος ἰχθύς H.; this confims that the word is Pre-Greek. How do we know about a connection with κλέμμα? On geminates Fur. 387, where this word can be added.Page in Frisk: 1,869Greek-English etymological dictionary (Ελληνικά-Αγγλικά ετυμολογική λεξικό) > κλεμμύς
