Kretschmer Glotta 3, 335 connected - λωψ with λώπη `cork' (cf. λώψ χλαμύς H.) adducing Pliny ( Hist. nat. 16, 6, 13): aegilops fert pannos arentes... non in cortice modo, verum et e ramis dependentes.

(Uncertain Δονάκτας surname of Apollon (Theopomp. Hist. 281), perh. for Δονακίτης (Redard 208).Origin: PG [a word of Pre-Greek origin]Etymology: The forms δῶναξ (Theoc. 20, 29 beside δόναξ Ep. 2, 3 and Pi. P. 12, 25), δοῦναξ (AP) are explained as `Hyperdialektisierungen' (or, for δοῦναξ, as metrical lengthening, Schulze Q. 205). But this is not an explanation. They are more prob. variants of a Pre-Greek word (see Beekes, Pre-Greek, 6.1 on vowels, where we find ο\/ου and ου\/ω); this is confirmed by - αξ. - Mostly connected with δονέω `shake' (see the parallels in Strömberg Pflanzennamen 76f.), which is most doubtful. The comparison with Latv. duonis `reed' would require a long ō; the vowel of δόναξ would come from δονέω. (Not here Goth. tains `twig' etc.) - δόναξ is also the fish σωλήν (Ath.) - Nehring Glotta 14, 181 considers δόναξ as unGreek.Page in Frisk: 1,409Greek-English etymological dictionary (Ελληνικά-Αγγλικά ετυμολογική λεξικό) > δόναξ

10 κύαμος
Grammatical information: m.Meaning: `bean' (Il.), `lot (those who drew white beans won)' (Att.), metaph. `swelling of the paps' (Ruf., Poll.), `woodlouse' (Gal.), name of a coin (Taurom. Ia).Compounds: Some cornpp., e.g. κυαμο-τρώξ `bean-eater' (Ar.), ὑοσ-κύαμος `swine-bean' (Hp., X.; 1. member peiorative, also connected with ὕειν `rain', Strömberg Pflanzennamen 31 a. 155). Unclear byform κύμηχα κύαμον H. (s. Fur. 120).Derivatives: Diminut. κυάμιον (Nubien, Eust.), - ίδες fabacia (Gloss.); κυάμ-ινος `of beans' (corn., Gal.), - ιαῖος `as great as a bean' (Dsc., Luc.); κυαμ-ίας m. `stone like a bean' (Plin.; as καπνίας a. o., Chantraine Formation 94), - ίτης m. `god of beans = chairman of the beanmarket' (Paus.), - ῖτις ( ἀγορά) `beanmarket' (Plu.), cf. Redard Les noms grecs en - της 193 a. 108; κυαμών, - ῶνος m. `field with beans' (Thphr.) with - ωνίτης `labourer of the beanfields' (pap.; Redard 37). Denomin. verbs: κυαμεύω `choose with the lot with beans' (Att.), - ίζω `be ripe for marriage' (Ar.). Beside κύαμος also πύανος (H., Poll., Phot.; after Heliod. Hist. 3 = ὁλόπυρος) with compound Πυαν-έψια, - όψια n. pl. name of an Ion.-Att. feast, fromwhere the month-name Πυανεψιών, - οψιών; also Κυαν-εψιών, - ο-(Keos, Asia Minor) and Παν-όψια (after Lycurg. Fr. 84 non-Att.).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.

11 μύρτος

Ia), ἱερό-μυρτος f. = μυρσίνη ἀγρία (Ps.-Dsc.).Derivatives: 1. μύρσινος, Att. μύρρινος, also μύρτινος (Eub., Thphr. Levelling of assibilation after μύρτος) `of myrtle' (on ρσ: ρρ: ρτ Schwyzer 270 a. 285); μυρσίνη, - ρρ- f. `myrtle, -twig, -crown' (IA.; μυρσινο-ειδής h.

(Schwyzer 528); μυρσινᾶτον ἔλαιον `myrtle-oil' (medic.; Lat. - ātum in γουττᾶτον [s.v.] a.o.); also μυρτίνη f. `kind of olive, kind of pear-tree' (Nic.). -- 2. μυρτίς, - ίδος f. `myrtle-berry' (hell.), also μυρτία μυρσίνη, καὶ μυρτίς H. μυρτάς, - άδος f. `kind of peartree etc.' (Nic., Gal.). -- 3. μυρτίδανον n. `myrtle-like plant etc.' (Hp.; to μυρτίς?, cf. ἐρευθέ-δανον a.o. Strömberg Pflanzennamen 147 f.). -- 4. μυρταλίς ἡ ὀξυμυρρίνη ("butcher's broom"), ὡς Λάκωνες H.; as συκ-αλίς a.o. (Strömberg 78). -- 5. μυρτ-ίτης = μυρσιν-ίτης (Thphr., Nic.; Redard 74 a. 98). -- 6. μυρτεών, - ῶνος m. `murtetum' (gloss.), also μυρσεών `id.'

(vase-inscr., AmJArch 31, 349f.; like μηλωτή a.o.). -- 8. μύρτων, - ωνος m. about `weakling' or `debauchee' (Luc. Lex.). -- 9. μυρτίλωψ ζῳ̃όν τι H.; formation like αἰγίλωψ a. o.; not with Strömberg Wortstudien 20 μυρτί-λωψ "the animal, that peels the myrtle". -- PN and PN like Μύρτος with Μυρτῳ̃ος, Μύρσινος, Μύρσος, Μυρτίλος, Μυρσίλος etc.; s. Heubeck Beitr. z. Namenforsch. 1, 271.Origin: PG [a word of Pre-Greek origin]Etymology: Because of the sound-similarity and the semantic proximity μύρτος, μύρρα, μυρίκη are usually with Lewy Fremdw. 42ff. (s. esp. Heubeck 282 w. further hypotheses) without further argumentation considered as cognate Semit. LW [loanword]. Rejected bu Schrader-Nehring Reallex. 2, 97, where μύρρα is dismissed and also μύρτος and μυρίκη are kept together only with reserve. -- From μύρτος, - ον Lat. murtus, -um as well as Arm. murt, NPers. mūrd. - The variation μυρτ-\/ μυρσ- ( μυρρ-?) clearly points to a Pre-Greek word; Fur. 259. Semitic origin is rejected by DELG. Heubeck (l.c.) takes the group as from Asia Minor, which does not exclude that it is Pre-Greek.Page in Frisk: 2,274-275Greek-English etymological dictionary (Ελληνικά-Αγγλικά ετυμολογική λεξικό) > μύρτος

Grammatical information: f. m.Origin: Eur PGX [probably a word of Pre-Greek origin] [probably a word of Pre-Greek origin]Etymology: Also ἄγονος; cf. ἄγονον = μυρσίνη ἀγρία (FUR 381). One compares OCS jagnędъ `Schwarzpappel' (Lidén IF 18, 506). So a Eur. substr. word? (on the phenomenon Beekes 2000). On folk etymology etc. Strömberg Pflanzennamen 154.

Grammatical information: f.Meaning: `dog's-tooth grass' (Od.)Etymology: Supposed to be the fem. of ἀγρώστης `countryman', from ἀγρός. Bechtel Lex. s.v., Strömberg Pflanzennamen 117. Cf. also Kalitsunakis apud Kretschmer Glotta 3, 315f.

Grammatical information: f.Meaning: a plant, `Anchusa tinctoria' (Thphr., Dsk.), Also κατάγχουσα (Ps.-Dsc.); cf. ψευδάγχουσα (Plin.).Other forms: Also ἔγχουσα (Ar.)Compounds: Also κατάγχουσα (Ps.-Dsc.); cf. ψευδάγχουσα (Plin.).Origin: PG [a word of Pre-Greek origin]Etymology: The variant ἔγχουσα forbids derivation from ἄγχω (which is defended by Strömberg Pflanzennamen 64). Typical substr. word; Fur. 346, and 197 n. 55 on - ουσα. Not related to ἀγχύνωψ.Page in Frisk: --Greek-English etymological dictionary (Ελληνικά-Αγγλικά ετυμολογική λεξικό) > ἄγχουσα

Grammatical information: f.Meaning: a plant, `Clematis vitalba' (Thphr.).Origin: PG [a word of Pre-Greek origin]Etymology: Frisk compares ἄθρας, which would fit "zu einem Schlinggewächs", but I don't see what a car has to do with it. See Strömberg Pflanzennamen 108.

19 ἄκανθα
Grammatical information: f.Meaning: `thorn, thistle', name of different thorny plants (Strömberg Pflanzennamen 17), also `backbone, spine' of fishes, snake, man (Od.). Note ἄκανθος m. `acanthus' (Acanthus mollis).Other forms: ἀκανθίας kind of shark; grasshopper (cf. Strömberg Fischnamen 47, Wortstudien 17); ἀκανθίς name of a bird (`goldfinch' or `linnet', cf. Thompson Birds s. v.), also a plant; ἀκανθυλλίς bird-name (Thompson s. v.), ἀκανθίων `hedgehog', ἀκανθέα a plant, ἀκανθηλή meaning unknown.Origin: PG [a word of Pre-Greek origin]X [probably]Etymology: The basic meaning is `thorn', and from there `backbone, spine'. Usually, ἄκανος `pine-thistle' is considered basic, but a connection with ἄνθος is improbable; a compound *ἄκ-ανθα `Stachelblume' (Kretschmer Einleitung 403 A. 1) is a type of etymology of the past. ἄκαν-θα acc. to Solmsen Wortf. 264. Belardi assumes an Indo-Mediterranean substr. word, connecting Skt. kaṇṭ(h)a-, but such combinations with Sanskrit are mostly incorrect, the Indo-Med. hypothesis quite doubtful. Most probable is a (Greek) substr. element, though in this case there is no positive indication except short -α (Beekes, Pre-Greek). There is no reason to assume a secondary Greek formation, as assumed by DELG. - One connects ἀκαλανθίς = ἀκανθίς (Ar.); Niedermann Glotta 19, 8ff. through metathesis of *ἀκανθαλίς.Page in Frisk: 1,50Greek-English etymological dictionary (Ελληνικά-Αγγλικά ετυμολογική λεξικό) > ἄκανθα

S.), i.e. `invincible', because of its deadly effect. Semantically improbable. Cf. Jüthner Glotta 29, 73ff., Strömberg Pflanzennamen 150 A. 1. - Wrong Lagercrantz Eranos 35, 35f. S. also Kretschmer REIE 1, 171ff. - Fur. 121 connects κονή, κῶνος.
