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”).

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."

The entry by Beekes in his Etymological Dictionary of Greek reads (in paraphrase):
"A full-grade variant of σταφυλή (staphulḗ, “grape”). No further etymology; perhaps Pre-Greek, if the -μ- is interpreted as prenasalization. This word has also been connected with the verb στέμβω (stémbō, “to shake about, agitate”)."

kóttos (romanization)
τὸ κόττος (nominative singular)
τοῦ κόττος (genitive singular)
τῷ κόττος (dative singular)
τὸ κόττος (accusative singular)
κόττος (singular vocative)

Of unclear origin:
* Beekes derives the word from κοττῐ́ς (kottĭ́s, “hairdress with long hair on the forehead”), as the crests of chickens resemble such hairstyles.
* Masica considers the word as a Dravidian borrowing, and suggests either Old Tamil 𑀓𑁄𑀵𑀺 (kōḻi) or Old Telugu కోడి (kōḍi) as the source. As chickens were first domesticated in Southeast Asia and potentially passed through South Asia before arriving in Western Eurasia, this is plausible; however, the word for "chicken" in other Mediterranean languages used for sea trade (including presumably Phoenician and Etruscan) does not resemble that of the Greek or Dravidian forms, casting doubt on the theory.
