Schwyzer KZ 57, 262 n.); cf. Sturtevant Lang. 17, 4. - The word is clearly cognate with κόχλος, which shows that the forms are Pre-Greek (Fur. 131 etc.); this is confirmed by κοκάλια (- κκ-), κωκάλια (Fur. 131). If the comparison with Sanskrit is correct, the word may be a common loanword (Fur. 278).See also: Vgl. κόχλος.Page in Frisk: 1,889-890Greek-English etymological dictionary (Ελληνικά-Αγγλικά ετυμολογική λεξικό) > κόγχη
