μόσχος 2Grammatical information: m.Meaning: `musk' (Aët., Alex. Trall.).Derivatives: μοσχίτης = ὀσμύλος, name of a sea-octopus, that gives a strong smell (Sch. Opp. H. 1, 307; Redard 83).Origin: LW [a loanword which is (probably) not of Pre-Greek origin] Iran.Etymology: From Pers. mušk `id.' (from Skt. muṣkáḥ m. `testicle', because of the form; cf. μυσχον τὸ ἀνδρεῖον καὶ γυναικεῖον μόριον H., s. also μῦς). Here also (through Greek?) late Lat. muscus `id.' with muscātus, -um; from there the Europ. forms. W.-Hofmann s.v., Lokotsch Et. Wb.

7 κάστωρ
κάστωρ, - οροςGrammatical information: m.Meaning: ` beaver' (Hdt., Hp., Arist.).Derivatives: καστόρ(ε)ιος ` belonging to the beaver' (Pi., X., Dsc.), καστόρ(ε)ιον n. `castor (= Bibergeil)' (pap., Plu.); καστορίδες f. pl. `Laconian race of dogs, initially elevated by Castor' (AP, Poll.), ` beaver' (Opp., Ael.); καστορίζω ` be like castor' (Dsc., Vett. Val.).Origin: XX [etym. unknown]Etymology: Since Kretschmer, Wiener Eranos, 1909,121-3 one assumes that, because of the medicinal effect of the castor for women's diseases the name Κάστωρ, who was known as σωτήρ of women, was transferred to the beaver. S. Bq s. v. Schwyzer 635 gives parallel cases, but there are no real parallels (he gives only ἀλέκτωρ, which is prob. also incorrect). This idea has been uncritically taken over. In fact Kretschmer has no specific argument. Thus Gantz, Early Gr. Myth (1993), who discusses the Dioskouroi rather extensively (323-328) mentions nothing about a relation with the beaver. There is, then, nothing that makes it probable that the name of Castor was also used for the beaver. This kind of pseudo-certainties should be abandoned. Schrader-Nehring 138 point out that the animal no longer existed in Greece and that the word will be a foreign word. It is first mentiond in Hdt. 4, 109 in the North Pontic area. (A Pre-Greek word for ` beaver' may have been λάταξ. There seem to have been words in - τωρ in Pre-Greek: βιάτωρ, λείτωρ. The word was taken over in Latin and spread from there to the European languages. W.-Hofmann s. castrō and ēcastor, Wahrmann Glotta 17, 258.

8 μύκλος
Grammatical information: adj.Meaning: `lascivious, debauched' (Archil. 183 as PN, Lyc. 771, H.), as adjunct of the pack-mule (Lyc. 816), also name of the ass itself? ( PTeb. 409, 7, Ip; written μοικ-, reading at all uncertain). After H. μύκλοι or μύκλαι are `black stripes at the neck and feet of an ass', after EM594, 18 and sch. Lyc. 771 μύκλος is properly `a callous fold at the neck of an ass'.Other forms: Cf. μύσκλοι below.Derivatives: Besides μυχλός, after H. Phocaean name of a breeder-ass, but also = σκολιός, ὀχευτής, λάγνης, μοιχός, ἀκρατής; cf. also μύσκλοι σκολιοί H.Origin: PG [a word of Pre-Greek origin]Etymology: As μυχλός may stand for *μυκσλός (Schwyzer 327), it may be identified with Lat. mūlus `mule', if from * mucslos; a deviating formation is shown by Alb. mušk `mule' as well as by the Slav. forms, e.g. ORuss. mъskъ, Russ. (CSlav.) mesk `mule' (from Illyrian ?). As the breeding of mules originates from Pontic Asia Minor (cf. on ὄνος), we have here prob. a wandering word. (Frisk adds that this makes genetic identitity of μυχλός and mūlus doubtful, which I do not think.) Further there is the unaspirated μύκλος with the (original?) meaning `black stripe etc.', which must be explained (Fur. 299 n. 25 thinks that this is a separate word.) -- Further details in W.-Hofmann s. mūlus, also Vasmer s. mesk. Thevariants, notably k\/ks and sk, are typical for Pre-Greek.Page in Frisk: 2,267-268Greek-English etymological dictionary (Ελληνικά-Αγγλικά ετυμολογική λεξικό) > μύκλος
