Maurice connects τυλυφάντης (tuluphántēs, “cushion-cover weaver”), assuming influence of κορύνη (korúnē) or τορύνη (torúnē) to account for the vocalism. Furnée compares Luwian [script needed] (taluppi, “clump of dough”). More recently, Melchert suggested a connection with Hittite [script needed] (tarupp, “to gather, collect”), with the rare variant [script needed] (talupp). According to Beekes, the word must belong to the Pre-Greek substrate, which must have spoken in large parts of Anatolia as well.

κᾰκκᾰλῐ́αι (plural vocative)

→ Latin: cacalia

According to Furnée, of Pre-Greek origin, in view of the similarity with other plant names, such as ἀκακαλίς (akakalís, “daffodil”) and κάγκανον (kánkanon, “mercury”). Witczak prefers a Dardanic source. Compare also Dacian coicolida (“nightshade”), Lithuanian kankùlis (“corncockle”), kankalìjos (“bellflower”, f. pl.), Old Prussian kunklis (“corncockle”), as well as Proto-Slavic *kǫkoľь (“corncockle”), whence Slovene kokalj, Polish kąkol and Russian куколь (kukolʹ).

λαζίνης

head

λαζίνης • (lazínēs)

Clearly related to μαζίνης (mazínēs, “cod”).

Hesychius' gives the definition as: καλλαρίας ἰχθῦς (kallarías ikhthûs, literally “cod-fish”).


σήραμβος

σήραμβος • (sḗrambos)

Strömberg considered this word to be Laconian for θήραφος (thḗraphos, “spider”). Furnée compares the word to σίραμφος (síramphos, “snout”), assuming that this word denotes a "snout beetle". This is semantically unlikely, but in view of the connection with θήραφος (thḗraphos), the word could be of Pre-Greek origin. Moreover, the suffix -αμβ- is typical of other substrate words, like κεράμβυξ (kerámbux, “longhorn beetle”).

Hesychius' gives the definition as: εἶδος κανθάρου (eîdos kanthárou, literally “kind of beetle”).

→ Ottoman Turkish: اوكسه (ökse)

→ Armenian: էօքսէ (ēōkʻsē)

An old cultural word, identical with Latin viscum (“mistletoe”), thus implying a pre-form *ϝιξ(ο-) (*wix(o-)). It has been compared with Proto-Slavic *višьňa (“sour cherry”) and Proto-Germanic *wīhsilō (“sour cherry”). Chantraine considers a common derivation from Proto-Indo-European *weyḱs-, but, according to Beekes, given its structure and limited distribution it is likely a loanword from a European substrate.

Liddell and Scott remark that the word is a loan from the Orient, possibly Proto-Iranian *tatr̥wáh (“pheasant”), referring to Middle Persian [script needed] (tedzrev, “pheasant”). They further compare Lithuanian tetervà (“black grouse”). Athenaeus of Naucratis states that this word was imported from Media. See also τέτραξ (tétrax, “hazel grouse”).

ἄλφι

From Proto-Hellenic *álpʰi, possibly ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *h₂élbʰi(t) (“barley”), thus the original meaning may have been “barley-flour”; this word may itself be derived from the root *h₂elbʰ- (“white”). Compare Proto-Albanian *albi (“barley”) (whence modern Albanian elb) and Proto-Iranian *arpacyaH (“barley”).

Compare similar bird names, like πελεκανός (pelekanós, “coot”), πελεκᾶς (pelekâs, “woodpecker”) and πελεκῖνος (pelekînos, “pelican”).
