"βόλβιτον" meaning in Ancient Greek

See βόλβιτον in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Noun

IPA: /ból.bi.ton/, /ˈβol.βi.ton/, /ˈvol.vi.ton/, /ból.bi.ton/ (note: 5ᵗʰ BCE Attic), /ˈbol.bi.ton/ (note: 1ˢᵗ CE Egyptian), /ˈβol.βi.ton/ (note: 4ᵗʰ CE Koine), /ˈvol.vi.ton/ (note: 10ᵗʰ CE Byzantine), /ˈvol.vi.ton/ (note: 15ᵗʰ CE Constantinopolitan)
Etymology: According to Beekes, in view of the alternations and the suffix -ιτον, the word is probably Pre-Greek. Compare also βόλιτον (bóliton, “cow dung”). Close to Proto-Albanian *balgā (“dung”) (Albanian bajgë), which may be from the same substratum, but would point to Proto-Indo-European *bolgʷ- if inherited.
