2 μίσχος
Grammatical information: m.Meaning: 1. `stalk of a leaf, fruit or flower' (Thphr., Porph.), also 2. name of a Thessalisan apparatus for field work, " ἰσχυρότερον ἔτι τῆς δικέλλης,... ὅ μᾶλλον εἰς βάθος κατιὸν πλείω γῆν περιτρέπει καὶ κατωτέρωθεν" (Thphr.). Acc. to H. = ὁ παρὰ τῳ̃ φύλλῳ κόκκος, what can hardly be correct. As difficult is μίσκος = `pod, shell' (Poll. 6, 94). Extensively on μίσχος Strömberg Theophrastea 115f. Orig. agricultural term, by the botanic Theophrastos used for botany(?).Compounds: Compp., e.g. ἄ-μισχος `withou stalk' (Thphr.).Origin: 1. PG [a word of Pre-Greek origin]; 2. PGX [probably a word of Pre-Greek origin] [probably a word of Pre-Greek origin]Etymology: No etymology; the connection with μίσκαιος κῆπος H., which is further connected with Lith. mìškas `wood, forest', also `wood for burning or building' (Specht Ursprung 255 n. 2, Fraenkel Wb. s.v.), is semantically void, unless one accepts for the Lith. word a basic meaning `treetrunk, bar'. After Bechtel Dial. 1, 208 first from *μιχ-σκ-ος like μάσκη from *μάκ-σκη (s. μακέλη); "but μιχ- can nowhere be placed". Fur. 133 connects μίσχος and μίσκος, which means that the word is Pre-Greek. -- Fur. 133 does not want to connect the stalk and the Thessal. apparatus. On the other hand he may be right in connecting the latter with μίσκαιος, where σχ\/σκ rather points to Pre-Greek.Page in Frisk: 2,245Greek-English etymological dictionary (Ελληνικά-Αγγλικά ετυμολογική λεξικό) > μίσχος

Grammatical information: n.Meaning: `prepared skin, leather, leather thong' (ξ 34).Compounds: Compp., e.g. σκυτο-τόμος m. `leather-worker, cobbler' (H 221); as 2. member in δωδεκά-σκυτος `consisting of twelve leather strips' (Pl.).Derivatives: 1. Dimin. σκυτ-άριον n., - ίς f. (hell. a. late). 2. adj. - ινος `leathern' (IA.), - ικός `belonging to leather(-work)', ἡ -ικη τέχνη `cobbler's job' (Pl., Arist. a. o.), - ώδης `leather-like' (Arist.). 3. subst. - εύς m. `cobbler' (Att.) with - εῖον, - εύω, - εία, - ευσις (Hp., Att. etc.; Bosshardt 50). 4. verb - όομαι in ἐσκυτωμένος `coated with leather' (Att. inscr., Plb. a. o.).Origin: XX [etym. unknown]Etymology: No immediate non-Greek agreement. The other languages have several comparable words for `skin v. t.', but all without initial s-: with long vowel as in σκῦτος the Germ. word for `skin', e.g. OHG hūt, PGm * hūði-, IE * kūt-i-; with short vowel Lat. cŭtis `skin', Lith. kutỹs `pouch around the body, money-bag'; with diphthong (full grade) OPr. keuto `skin', IE * keutā, Lith. kiáutas `case, envelop, shell'; further forms in WP. 2, 549f., Pok. 952, W.-Hofmann s. cutis. If prop. *'cover', one may consider further connection with σκῦλα, ἐπισκύνιον; s. vv. All kinds of combinations in Specht Ursprung 208, 226 a. 237. Cf. also κεύθω. -- Lat. scūtum `shield' is ambivalent; s. W.-Hofmann s. v.Page in Frisk: 2,744-745Greek-English etymological dictionary (Ελληνικά-Αγγλικά ετυμολογική λεξικό) > σκῦτος
