"μαθαλίς" meaning in Ancient Greek

See μαθαλίς in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Noun

IPA: /ma.tʰa.lís/, /ma.θaˈlis/, /ma.θaˈlis/, /ma.tʰa.lís/ (note: 5ᵗʰ BCE Attic), /ma.tʰaˈlis/ (note: 1ˢᵗ CE Egyptian), /ma.θaˈlis/ (note: 4ᵗʰ CE Koine), /ma.θaˈlis/ (note: 10ᵗʰ CE Byzantine), /ma.θaˈlis/ (note: 15ᵗʰ CE Constantinopolitan)
Etymology: Formation like ἀγκαλίς (ankalís), τρυφαλίς (truphalís) and φυσαλίς (phusalís), but without etymology. Connection with μάθυαι (máthuai, “jaws”) and μασάομαι (masáomai, “to chew”) seems impossible. Furnée compares Latin matula (“vessel for liquids; chamber pot”), Georgian მათარა (matara, “waterskin, flask”) and βάτος (bátos, “Hebrew unit of measure”). Beekes does not dismiss a Pre-Greek origin.
