2 ἄκανθα
Grammatical information: f.Meaning: `thorn, thistle', name of different thorny plants (Strömberg Pflanzennamen 17), also `backbone, spine' of fishes, snake, man (Od.). Note ἄκανθος m. `acanthus' (Acanthus mollis).Other forms: ἀκανθίας kind of shark; grasshopper (cf. Strömberg Fischnamen 47, Wortstudien 17); ἀκανθίς name of a bird (`goldfinch' or `linnet', cf. Thompson Birds s. v.), also a plant; ἀκανθυλλίς bird-name (Thompson s. v.), ἀκανθίων `hedgehog', ἀκανθέα a plant, ἀκανθηλή meaning unknown.Origin: PG [a word of Pre-Greek origin]X [probably]Etymology: The basic meaning is `thorn', and from there `backbone, spine'. Usually, ἄκανος `pine-thistle' is considered basic, but a connection with ἄνθος is improbable; a compound *ἄκ-ανθα `Stachelblume' (Kretschmer Einleitung 403 A. 1) is a type of etymology of the past. ἄκαν-θα acc. to Solmsen Wortf. 264. Belardi assumes an Indo-Mediterranean substr. word, connecting Skt. kaṇṭ(h)a-, but such combinations with Sanskrit are mostly incorrect, the Indo-Med. hypothesis quite doubtful. Most probable is a (Greek) substr. element, though in this case there is no positive indication except short -α (Beekes, Pre-Greek). There is no reason to assume a secondary Greek formation, as assumed by DELG. - One connects ἀκαλανθίς = ἀκανθίς (Ar.); Niedermann Glotta 19, 8ff. through metathesis of *ἀκανθαλίς.Page in Frisk: 1,50Greek-English etymological dictionary (Ελληνικά-Αγγλικά ετυμολογική λεξικό) > ἄκανθα

Grammatical information: n.Meaning: `member', in older lit. only pl. `limbs' (Il.; cf. Wackernagel Syntax 1, 88), `(organized) tune, song, melody' (h. Hom. 19, 16, Thgn., Pi., IA.).Compounds: Compp., e.g. λυσι-μελής `limb-relaxing' (Od.), also with allusion to the μελεδήματα υ 57; s. Risch Eumusia. Festschr. Howald (1947) 87 f.; μελο-ποιός `poet of songs' with - έω, - ία (Att.), μελεσί-πτερος `with singing wings', of a cicada (AP; after the types ἑλκεσί-πεπλος, Schwyzer 443 f.).Derivatives: 1.

Bechtel Lex. s.v., Chantraine Gramm. hom. 1, 250, Risch 310; cf. Schwyzer 440 w. n. 10, 623. -- B. μελεάζω `execute a recitative' (Nicom. Harm.).Origin: XX [etym. unknown]Etymology: On the double meaning `member' and `tune, song' cf. Ir. alt `member' and `poem' (s. also Diehl RhM 89, 88 a. 92 f.). I the sense of `member' μέλος has been replaced by synonymous terms like κῶλον, ἄρθρον. -- To judge by the structure old (cf. ἕδος, ἔπος, γένος a. o.). μέλος does not have an immediate agreement. Possible is however (with Fick. 2, 215) the comparison with a Celtic wor for `knuckle', Bret. mell, Corn. mal, pl. mellow, to which also Welsh cym-mal `articulus, iunctura, commissura', which can go back on PCelt. * melsā and relates then to μέλος as e.g. Skt. vats-á- `calf' to Ϝέτος `year' (s. v.).

Porzig IF 42, 254f. and Fraenkel IF 59, 153ff (Wb. s. mélmenys).
