Adjective

IPA: /kár.ka.ros/, /ˈkar.ka.ros/, /ˈkar.ka.ros/, /kár.ka.ros/ (note: 5ᵗʰ BCE Attic), /ˈkar.ka.ros/ (note: 1ˢᵗ CE Egyptian), /ˈkar.ka.ros/ (note: 4ᵗʰ CE Koine), /ˈkar.ka.ros/ (note: 10ᵗʰ CE Byzantine), /ˈkar.ka.ros/ (note: 15ᵗʰ CE Constantinopolitan) Forms: kárkaros [romanization], κάρκαρα [feminine], κάρκαρον [neuter]
Etymology: Uncertain. Seems to agree with Sanskrit कर्कर (karkara, “hard, firm”), but some of its relations (κάρχαρος (kárkharos), καρκίνος (karkínos), and κέρχνος (kérkhnos)) seem to hint at a Pre-Greek origin. Etymology templates: {{unc|grc}} Uncertain, {{cog|sa|कर्कर||hard, firm}} Sanskrit कर्कर (karkara, “hard, firm”), {{der|grc|qsb-grc|-}} Pre-Greek
  1. The meaning of this term is uncertain. Hesychius defines κάρκαροι (kárkaroi) as δεσμοί (desmoí, “bond”), τραχεῖς (trakheîs, “rough, jagged”), and κάρκαρα (kárkara) as μάνδρα (mándra, “enclosed space”), which agrees well with the attested κάρκαρον (kárkaron, “prison”)
