Kalén assumes earlier *θή-θυον (*thḗ-thuon) and connects the word with θῆσθαι (thêsthai) (which is from the root of θάω (tháō, “to suck”)) and with θύλακος (thúlakos, “sack”). This explanation is nonsensical and typical of older Greek etymologies. According to Beekes, it is more probably a Pre-Greek word, given the variation υ/ε.

χέννιον

head

χέννιον • (khénnion)

According to Beekes, from Pre-Greek in view of the similarity with χάννη (khánnē, “comber”). However, Thompson considers a foreign origin, comparing both words with Egyptian [script needed] (chnā, “unknown kind of fish”).

Hesychius' gives the definition as: εἶδος ἰχθύος (eîdos ikhthúos, literally “kind of fish”).

As the breeding of mules originates from Pontic Asia Minor, Frisk remarks that we are probably dealing with a Wanderwort. However, Beekes does not agree with this and claims that the variants prove a Pre-Greek origin, while Furnée thinks that this word must be separated from the others.

μερμνάδαι

μερμνάδαι • (mermnádai) m (genitive —); second declension

Seemingly the same word as Μερμνάδες (Mermnádes, “Mermnad dynasty of Lydia”), a name sometimes thought to be of Carian origin, but perhaps derived from a Lydian word for hawk, as a totemic symbol for the royal family.

P. Oxy. XV 1802 (the Oxyrhynchus Glossary)

(nominative plural) A kind of hawk in Lydia.

Unknown, but the Oxyrhynchus Papyri claim that the word was Lydian, comparing the Lydian dynasty of the Mermnadae. However, Beekes prefers connecting the word with μόρφνος (mórphnos, “kind of eagle”), which shows that the word is Pre-Greek, in view of the alternation μ/φ.

Perhaps from Proto-Indo-European *(s)leh₁g- (“weak, faint”), the same root of λαγαίω (lagaíō, “to release”) and λαγαρός (lagarós, “slack, loose”); intermediate forms, such as *λώγανον (*lṓganon), *λώγη (*lṓgē), cannot be determined, however.

The formation is similar to other bird names, such as ἀτταγᾶς (attagâs, “black francolin”) and ἐλασᾶς (elasâs, “kind of teal”). The ο of the variant βοσκάς (boskás) can hardly be due to influence of βόσκω (bóskō, “to feed, nourish”); nor is the β- (compared to the φ- of φασκάς (phaskás)) Thracian or Illyrian. However, these variations clearly point to Pre-Greek origin, according to Beekes. Furnée unconvincingly links the word to Serbo-Croatian pȁtka (“duck”), Spanish pato (“duck”) and Sardinian busciu.

ἄσπαλος

ἄσπαλος • (áspalos)

Traditionally derived from Proto-Indo-European *(s)kʷálos (“sheatfish”) and cognate with Latin squalus (“kind of big fish, shark”), Avestan 𐬐𐬀𐬭𐬀 (kara, “kind of fish”), Old Prussian kalis, and Old English hwæl (“whale”). However, according to Beekes, it is rather a Pre-Greek word.

Connection with λιγύς (ligús, “shrill, loud, piercing”) does not help. In view of the prenasalization, the word may be Pre-Greek.

Given the fish name ἠλακατήν (ēlakatḗn, “kind of tunny”), which derives from ἠλακάτη (ēlakátē, “distaff, spindle”), one would posit a basic word *κάμασος, with suffixal -ασος like in πέτασος (pétasos, “broad-brimmed hat”). It has been connected with Balto-Slavic words for the "sheatfish", such as Lithuanian šāmas, Latvian sams and Russian сом (som). Further connected with κάμαξ (kámax, “pole, bar”) by Solmsen. Probably a loan from the European substrate. Furnée connects it with κάβαισος (kábaisos, “glutton, gourmand”) and καμασός (kamasós, “gulf, pit”), but without evidence.

Ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *sley- (“smooth; slick; sticky; slimy”).

σίραμφος

head

σίραμφος • (síramphos)

Furnée connects the word with σήραμβος (sḗrambos, “kind of beetle”). However, Beekes finds this connection semantically unlikely. Compare also ῥάμφος (rhámphos, “beak”).

Hesychius' gives the definition as: ῥύγχος (rhúnkhos, “snout; beak”).


δάος

δάος • (dáos)

From Phrygian δάος (dáos), from Proto-Indo-European *dʰeh₂w- (per Derksen); elsewhere reconstructed as *dʰew- (“to die”). Possibly cognate with Proto-Germanic *dawjaną (“to die”), Avestan 𐬛𐬀𐬎𐬎- (dauu-, “to crush, to oppress”) (attested as 𐬛𐬎𐬎𐬀𐬌𐬛𐬍 (duuaidī, 1 du. past middle)). Further, akin to Ancient Greek Ζεὺς θαύλιος (Zeùs thaúlios, “Zeus the strangler? (Phrygian god)”).

→ Latin: concha (see there for further descendants)

Probably from Pre-Greek, especially in view of the cluster -γχ- (-nkh-), which points to prenasalization in Pre-Greek terms. Compare καγκύλας (kankúlas, “mussel”) and κόχλος (kókhlos, “spiral conch, snail”), which both exhibit conclusively Pre-Greek variation.
Possibly related to Sanskrit शङ्ख (śaṅkhá-, “conch, mussel”), but not by common inheritance from Proto-Indo-European. Doublet of κόγχος (kónkhos).

cog

anything like a mussel shell, especially a shell-like cavity in the body:

Beekes’ entry in his Etymological Dictionary of Greek reads (in paraphrase):
“Undoubtedly a Pre-Greek word, like ἀνθρήνη (anthrḗnē), πεμφρηδών (pemphrēdṓn) and τενθρηδών (tenthrēdṓn). Needless to say, the connection with θρέομαι (thréomai, “to cry aloud, shriek”) and θόρυβος (thórubos, “uproar, clamor”) makes no sense. A difficult problem is the relation to Germanic and Balto-Slavic words for ‘drone’: Proto-Germanic *drēnuz, Lithuanian tranas, Proto-Slavic *trǫtъ.”

Greek: σκελίδα (skelída)

The entry by Beekes in his Etymological Dictionary of Greek reads (in paraphrase):
"Generally taken as from σκέλος (skélos, “leg”), which is not impossible semantically, but certainly incorrect given the variant form, which points to Pre-Greek origin."

χρέμψ

According to Strömberg, it could be a back-formation from the verb χρέμπτομαι (khrémptomai, “to clear one's throat”). Beekes proposes a derivation from Proto-Indo-European *gʰrem- (“to resound, thunder, grumble, roar”), a root found in other fish names, such as χρέμης (khrémēs) and χρόμις (khrómis), and in the verb χρεμετίζω (khremetízō, “to neigh, whinny”).
