1 κικκαβαῦ
Grammatical information: exclam.Meaning: natural sound of the screech-owl (Ar. Av. 261);Derivatives: κικκάβη `screech-owl' (sch.) and κικκαβάζω `cry as an owl' (Ar. Lys. 761 coni. Dobree for κακκαβάζω, - βίζω). Further κικκάβη (gloss.), κίκυμος, - υβος (H.), κικυμωΐς (Call. Fr. 318), - ωνίς acc. to Latte `id.'; cf. Heubeck Würz. Jb. 1949-50, H. 2, 208ff. Note κικυμωνεῖν δυσβλεπτεῖν H. Further κὶκυμος λαμπτήρ η γλαυκός ὁμοίως καὶ κίκυβος.Origin: PG [a word of Pre-Greek origin]Etymology: Onomatopoetic words, partly with expressive gemination (Schwyzer 315); on the β-suffix Chantraine Formation 261. Cf. κακκάβη and κίκιρρος; s. also κίκκαβος and κύμινδις; also W.-Hofmann s. cucubiō, the sound of the screech-owl. The words κικυβ\/ μος show the Pre-Greek interchange β\/μ; but Fur. 221 rejects κικκαβ\/μη as too late. Also Lat. cicuma `screecht-owl. I have no explanation of the interchange ( κικκ-)αβ\/μ- \/ ( κικ-)υβ\/μ-. The word is clearly Pre-Greek.Page in Frisk: 1,851-852Greek-English etymological dictionary (Ελληνικά-Αγγλικά ετυμολογική λεξικό) > κικκαβαῦ

4 καύαξ
Other forms: καύηξ, - ηκος m. (Antim., hell.), also κήξ f. (ο 479) and κῆϋξ m. (Babr., Dionys. Av.)Origin: PG [a word of Pre-Greek origin]Etymology: Ending as in ἱέραξ, ἴρηξ a. o. (Chantraine Formation 380). No etym. One mentions bird names like Welsh cuan `screech-owl' and other Celtic words, from where Lat. cavannus `id.', OHG (with regular sound-shift) hūwo `owl'; with internal velar (reduplicated) καυκαλίας ὄρνις ποιός, καυκιάλης... ὄρνις H. [Skt. koka- m. name of a kind of goose (also `wolf'), hardly here.] Lith. kaukỹs m. name of a crying bird etc. Further primary verbs as Skt. káuti `cry', Lith. kaũkti `howl, moan' etc.; cf. on κωκύω. - Further forms Pok. 535f. and in the etym. dict., e. g. W.-Hofmann s. cavannus, Fraenkel Lit. et. Wb. s. kaũkti, Mayrhofer s. káuti; also Bq s. v. - καύαξ πανοῦργος Suid. as term of abuse from the comedy? s. Kretschmer KZ 31, 354. - The word with - ακ- is prob. Pre-Greek (so the second velar does not belong to the root).
