"μέλος" meaning in Ancient Greek

See μέλος in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Noun

IPA: /mé.los/, /ˈme.los/, /ˈme.los/, /mé.los/ (note: 5ᵗʰ BCE Attic), /ˈme.los/ (note: 1ˢᵗ CE Egyptian), /ˈme.los/ (note: 4ᵗʰ CE Koine), /ˈme.los/ (note: 10ᵗʰ CE Byzantine), /ˈme.los/ (note: 15ᵗʰ CE Constantinopolitan)
Etymology: Likely from a Proto-Indo-European *mel- (“limb”); compare Breton mell (“joint”), Cornish mal (“id”), Welsh cymmal (“id”), which are from Proto-Celtic *melsā (“knuckle”). For a semantic parallel (albeit from a different root), note Irish alt (“joint; paragraph”). See also μέρος (méros, “part, share”), of similar meaning and superficial pronunciation but different origin.
