δεπάεσσῐ(ν)/δέπᾱσσῐ(ν)

According to Beekes, it is a Pre-Greek word, like many other words for vessels. This word is generally connected to Luwian [script needed] (tipas, “sky, heaven”). Another theory derives the noun from Proto-Albanian *deupa (“cradle, deposit”), comparing it to Albanian djep.

→ English: kalpis

Without a certain explanation. Often connected with Breton kelorn (“bucket”) but this does not explain the -α-. Furnée connects it with Ancient Greek κελέβη (kelébē), for which there seems no reason. Possibly from Pre-Greek.

Traditionally it has been connected with βαθύς (bathús, “deep”), as an e-grade root variant but Furnée doesn't dismiss a Pre-Greek origin and links the noun to the gloss βρῆσσαι (brêssai) found in Hesychius.

Greek: κύλικα (kýlika)

→ English: kylix

→ Polish: kyliks

Traditionally compared to Latin calix (“deep bowl, cup”) but a variation *a/u is unknown in Indo-European words. For the same reason, κάλυξ (kálux, “husk”) is not identical with this word. The presence of the variation leads to a Pre-Greek origin, as well as the typical Pre-Greek suffix -ικ-.

A connection with γύαλον (gúalon), γωλεός (gōleós), Old Norse kjóll (“ship”) has been considered. But this word can be considered, as γαῦλος (gaûlos) denoting a Phoenician merchant-ship, as being via Phoenician or a near language from Akkadian 𒄖𒌌𒇻 (gullu, “a container”), 𒄖𒌌𒆷𒌅 (gullatu, “ewer”), a vinicultural word of unascertainable non-Semitic origin, being via its variant 𒄣𒇷𒌋 (qulliu, “a bowl”) the source of Biblical Hebrew גֻלָּה (gullāh), Ugaritic 𐎂𐎍 (gl), Aramaic קוּלְתָא (qulləṯā), Arabic قُلَّة (qulla), جُلَّة (julla), Classical Syriac ܩܽܘܠܬܳܐ (qulləṯā), which passed into Latin culullus (“wine jug”) and into Ancient Greek κόλλαθον (kóllathon, “a unit of liquid measure used in Syria”).

The connection with Ἀμοργός (Amorgós) and ὀμόργνυμι (omórgnumi) is semantically uncompelling. According to Beekes, probably of Pre-Greek origin.

Furnée asserted a relation to Latin catīnus (“flat dish”), claiming that the deviation in vowel and formation suggests that they are independent loans from a third party, and adducing κόνδυ (kóndu, “cup”) and κονδύλιον (kondúlion), with the observation that -υλη (-ulē) is a well-known suffix in Pre-Greek.
A widespread wanderword is also probable given Sanskrit कुन्तल (kuntala, “drinking-cup”), कन्दु (kandu, “vessel”), करताल (karatāla, “cymbals”), and other nearby forms.

The entry by Beekes in his Etymological Dictionary of Greek reads (in close paraphrase):
"Not well explained. Connected with κάνθων (kánthōn, “ass, donkey”) and κανθήλιος (kanthḗlios, “ass, donkey”) by Strömberg, with the same suffix as in χίμαρος (khímaros) and κίσσαρος (kíssaros). Hardly probable. DELG points out that there are anthroponyms and toponyms like Κάνθαρος (Kántharos, “a port of Piraeus”) and concludes from this that the term may be of Pre-Greek origin, which is likely. As Akkadian 𒃶𒁺 (/kandu/, “jar for wine”), considered a loan from West Semitic, and Akkadian 𒃶𒁺𒊒𒌑 (/kanduru/, “kind of vessel”) exist, itself from Sumerian 𒄑𒃶𒉡𒌉 (/gannu-tur/, “small vessel; potstand”, literally “little vessel, container, holder”), it would be a loan in this meaning."

Greek: άκατος (ákatos)

→ Latin: acatus

→ Old Armenian: ակատ (akat)

Probably a technical loanword. Often connected with the root of ἀκή (akḗ, “point of an iron tool”), but without any obvious reason. Winter connected it with κητήνη (kētḗnē, “vessel big as a sea-monster”), which could perhaps belong with κῆτος (kêtos, “sea-monster”) instead.

The suffix is no doubt a substrate element, as it is in κύλιξ (kúlix). It is often connected with ἄμβη (ámbē, “raised edge”) and ἄμβων (ámbōn, “crest of a hill”), but this remains uncertain. Derivation from ἀναβαίνω (anabaínō, “to mount”) seems most improbable. Ultimately, the origin of the word is still uncertain.

The comparison with Latin pēlvis (“bowl, dish”) or Sanskrit पालवी (pālavī, “a kind of vessel”), पारी (pārī, “milk pail”) is unconvincing, and does not lead to an Indo-European reconstruction. Furnée suggests a Pre-Greek origin.


πέλλα

head

πέλλα • (pélla)

Assuming a Pre-Greek form *πελσᾱ (*pelsā), it has been connected with Proto-Germanic *falisaz (“rock, cliff”), Old Irish ail (“crag”) and Sanskrit पाषाण (pāṣāṇa, “rock, stone”). However, the variation *pelso-/*peliso- does not seem Indo-European. The noun could be identical to the Macedonian town Πέλλα (Pélla). Furnée further compares φελλεύς (phelleús, “stony ground”), which points to a Pre-Greek origin.

Hesychius gives the definition as: λίθος (líthos, “stone”).

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.
