3 καρκίνος
Grammatical information: m. (Epich., IA.)Meaning: `crab' (on the meaning Thompson Fishes s. v.), metaph.. `ulcer, pair of pincers, kind of shoe etc.', also name of a constellation (Scherer Gestirnnamen 167f.). -Derivatives: Diminut. καρκίνιον (Arist., Hp.), also `kind of slipper' (Herod.), καρκινάς, - άδος f. (Gal., Ael.); καρκινίας m. name of a precious stone (Plin.; after the colour; as καπνίας a. o.; Chantraine Formation 94); καρκινευτής `crab-catcher' (Artem. 2, 14; after ἁλιευτής, ὀρνιθευτής a. o.); καρκινώδης `crab-like' (Arist., medic.). Denomin. verb καρκινόω `bend, crook one's fingers' (Antiph., Thphr.; cf. Strömberg Theophrastea 65), - όομαι `become cancerous, suffer from cancer' (Hp.) with καρκίνωμα `cancer' (medic.), καρκίνωσις `formation of dangerous growth' (Aët.); καρκίνωθρον (codd. - αθρον, - ηθρον) plant name, `Polygonum aviculare' (Dsc. 4, 4; after Strömberg Pflanzennamen 147 prop. "Krebsmittel" [?]; rather of the crab-like spreading roots).Origin: PG [a word of Pre-Greek origin]Etymology: Clearly connected with Lat. cancer `crab', Skt. karkaṭa- `id.'; the morphological details however are not all clear. As in Lat. cancer from * car-cro-s καρκίνος may also have had a dissimilation of r-sounds with addition of the ινο-suffix (cf. Schwyzer 490); on the formation of Skt. karkaṭa- Wackernagel-Debrunner 2: 2, 157 (etymological doubts in Mayrhofer KEWA s. v.). - From καρκίνος as LW [loanword]. Skt. karki(n)- `the crab in the zodiac' (with karka- `crab' [lex.] as backformation?). - Connection with the adjective for `hard' (s. κάρκαρος, κράτος) seems quite possible. Cf. W.-Hofmann s. cancer. - The Sanskrit word is probably not cognate (Mayrhofer, EWAia 64, Fur. 129). Fur. connects κάρχαι καρκίνοι, καὶ \<κ\> όχλοι. Σικελοί H. [not mentioned in Frisk, DELG], which is evident. This poves Pre-Greek origin. Fur. doubts the correctnes of Lat. cancer \< * karkro-, which cannot be proven. Fur. prefers to connct γάγγραινα, γάγγλιον. - ινο- can be a Pre-Greek suffix (Fur. 129 n. 54; Beekes, Pre-Greek, Suffixes; Fur. also comments on the accentuation). He also adduces (130) the PN Κερκίνος and the river name Κερκινεύς (Thessaly) with *κερκιν-.Page in Frisk: 1,789-790Greek-English etymological dictionary (Ελληνικά-Αγγλικά ετυμολογική λεξικό) > καρκίνος

4 Κάβειροι
Grammatical information: m. pl.Meaning: name of chthonic gods, esp. on Samothrace and Lemnos as well as in Boeotia (Pi., Hdt., inscr.).Other forms: Κάβειροι καρκίνοι (`crab, pair of pincers') H.; whether there is any relation with the gods, is unknown.Origin: PG [a word of Pre-Greek origin]Etymology: Not with Wackernagel KZ 41, 316ff. = Kl. Schr. 1, 505ff. (also on olderr interpretations) to Skt. Kúbera-, s. Mayrhofer KEWA s. v. The root of the name is clearly the same as that in Κάβαρνοι. This root must have been Pre-Greek *Kabary. The palatalized consonant explains a \> ä, ε, and the ι; before the ν the palatal character was neglected. Beekes, Mnemosyne LVII (2004) 465-477. Lit. Nilsson Gr. Rel. 1, 670ff. B. Hemberg.

AP. 11. 203). In H. also σχενδυλό-ληπτοι `caught between tongs' and the ptc. pf. ἐσχενδυλῆσθαι, from *σχενδυλάω `to pinch with tongs'.Origin: PG [a word of Pre-Greek origin] (V)Etymology: Unexplained (formation like κανθ-, κορδ-ύλη). If the aspirate is original, perh. with Niedermann IF 15, 108 f. to χανδάνω, χείσομαι (from χενδ-) `seize' with σχ- from σχεῖν (Chantraine Form. 251). -- The variation shows that it is a Pre-Greek word.Page in Frisk: 2,838Greek-English etymological dictionary (Ελληνικά-Αγγλικά ετυμολογική λεξικό) > σχενδύλη
