Aem. 18 used by the Thracians (LXX, NT, J. a.o.); also = ' νυκτερίς, bat' (Cyran.).Origin: XX [etym. unknown]Etymology: Unclear; as so many names of weapons perh. (Thrac.) LW [loanword]. Formation perh. Greek as κεραία, καμιναία, αὑλαία a. other instrument names and concrete objects. Formally close is ῥομφεῖς ἱμάντες, οἷς ῥάπτεται τὰ ὑποδήματα H.; s. Bosshardt $ 228 w. n., where (with question mark) a noun *ῥομφή f. `curving, curvation, hook', to *ῥέμφω `curve' is supposed as basis of both ῥομφεῖς and ῥομφαία assuming a hypothetical change of meaning; rightly one reminds of ῥέμφος and ῥάμφος (s.v).
