Greek: ίουλος (íoulos)

→ Latin: iūlus

According to Beekes, from Proto-Indo-European *welH- (“to turn, wind, round”), the same root of οὖλος (oûlos, “wooly, fuzzy”) and εἰλέω (eiléō, “to turn, wind”). However according to targum exegetes it could be borrowed from Phoenician *𐤉𐤋 (*yūl) from the Proto-Semitic lizard name *waral-. This form and similar meanings can be reconstructed on the basis of the animal name’s Jewish Literary Aramaic measure יָלָא (yālā), alternating with יַלָּא (yallā), since /aː/ regularly comes out /uː/ in Phoenician-Punic (like 𐤓𐤀𐤔 (rʾš /rūš/, “head”) from *raʾš- (“head”)). In Jewish Aramaic it also meant a kind of blood-sucking animal, and even closer to the original meaning of a worral would be the Greek senses of certain earth-graving insects. “The first growth of the whiskers and beard” would then be transferred from the image of the undersides of the throats of certain lizards; corn-sheaves afford a similar picture. From any of these meanings the sense of a catkin can be transferred.

Unknown. Previously explained as ἀνα- (ana-, “up”) + a root noun belonging to τεύχω (teúkhō, “to make, do”), but this is highly questionable. The word resembles ἄμπυξ (ámpux) and καταῖτυξ (kataîtux), both without etymology.

The suffix "-ιγγ-", the prothetic "σ-" and the lack of possible cognates, apart from μήρινθος (mḗrinthos, “fishing line”), lead to a Pre-Greek origin.

Greek: κλήμα (klíma)

Traditionally connected with κλάω (kláō, “to break”), but the semantics are tenuous, and there is no evidence for a long α (a) in the former. Thus, Beekes suggests a Pre-Greek origin.

Probably from Proto-Indo-European *(s)ker- (“to cut”), the same root of κείρω (keírō, “to cut”) and κορμός (kormós, “trunk”). Perhaps the original meaning of this word was "haircut at the temples".

According to Beekes, because of the Aeolic variation the word could be equated to Latin vallus (“stake, pole”), which is from Proto-Indo-European *welH- (“to turn”).

(pathology) wart, callus (also on plants)

Greek: οσφύς (osfýs)

The formation is similar to ἰξύς (ixús) and νηδύς (nēdús). Often connected with ὀστέον (ostéon, “bone”); however, Furnée adduces φύς (phús, “loins”), pointing to a Pre-Greek prothetic vowel. He also accepts the connection with ψόα (psóa, “loin muscles”), which was suggested already by Prellwitz.

(anatomy) hips or loins, lower part of the back

ἰξῡ́ (singular vocative)

The formation is similar to ὀσφῦς (osphûs), δελφύς (delphús) and νηδύς (nēdús). Etymological relation with Latin īlia (“side of the body”) is improbable. Furnée proposed to connect ἰσχίον (iskhíon, “hip”); if correct, the word is Pre-Greek because of the variation.

From Proto-Indo-European *dʰelh₁- (“to bloom, be green”), whence also θάλλω (thállō, “to bloom”). Compare Welsh dail (“leaves”) and Middle Irish duille (“foliage”). The sense “gift” comes about as a semantic loan from Egyptian, where two etymologically unrelated terms mnḥ (“papyrus stalk”) and mnḥtj (“tribute, gift”) were homophonous in Late Egyptian.

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."

From Proto-Indo-European *úderos (“abdomen, stomach”) and cognate with Sanskrit उदर (udara, “belly, abdomen”), Latin uterus (“womb”) and Old Prussian weders (“belly, stomach”). This word must be separated from ὕδωρ (húdōr, “water”), since a full grade ὕδερ- is further unknown in Greek. The semantic shift from "belly" to "dropsy" is unproblematic, since Sanskrit उदर (udara) is also used in the sense of "pathologically swollen belly".

It has no certain etymology. According to Haupt, it was borrowed from Akkadian; Furnée connects *ψώρος (*psṓros) in ψωρίτης (psōrítēs, “kind of marble”), suggesting a Pre-Greek origin. Likely a Wanderwort also found in Akkadian 𒉌𒌓𒈾𒁓 (/pīlu, pūlu/, “limestone”), Akkadian 𒁓𒊏 (pūru, literally “stone bowl”), Urartian 𒉌𒌓𒁍𒇻𒋛 (NA₄.pu-lu-si /pulus/, “stone, stele”), Old Armenian բուռ (buṙ, “lime, plaster, varnish”). An ancient Anatolian or Mesopotamian origin is probable, with Sumerian 𒁓 (/bur/, “stone (vessel)”) as the likely source.

In view of the variations, the word is of Pre-Greek origin, with the characteristic Pre-Greek sequence *-arʷ- realised as -ουρ- or -αρ- in the different variants.

αὕτη ἡ Σάσου χώρα ὑστάτη ἐστὶν τῶν Αἰθιόπων, ἔνθα καὶ πολὺ χρυσίον ἐστίν, τὸ λεγόμενον τάγχαρας

Unclear. The traditional connection with φέρω (phérō, “to bring”) seems difficult to combine with the varying meanings, which are all connected with the notion of "twining". Schulze therefore connected φάραι (phárai, “to weave, plait”) and φᾶρος (phâros, “piece of cloth”). Gothic 𐌱𐌰𐍂𐌼𐍃 (barms, “lap, bosom”) agrees phonetically with this word, but is also interpreted differently.

Hemmerdinger compares Egyptian hnw (“jar, unit of measure”), while Furnée compares Hittite 𒀀𒂵𒀭𒉌 (a-ga-an-ni /aganni/, “bowl”), Hurrian 𒀀𒂵𒀭𒉌 (a-ga-an-ni /aganni/, “bowl”), which is connected to Akkadian 𒀀𒂵𒉡 (a-ga-nu /agannu/, “large bowl, cauldron”). He also compares ἀγάννα (agánna, “sacred chariot”) and λαχάννα (lakhánna). Perhaps it is from Persian, but according to Beekes no solution can be offered.

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.

Related to χνόη (khnóē, “axle-box”). Both words have been connected to χναύω (khnaúō, “to nibble”) and χνίω (khníō, “to break in small pieces”). Reasonable connections can then be found in Old Norse gnúa (“to rub”) and Proto-Slavic *gnusъ, which point to Proto-Indo-European *gnew-. Otherwise perhaps from Proto-Indo-European *knew- (“to scrape, scratch; to rub”) and related to κνίζω (knízō, “to pound, grate”) and κνύω (knúō, “to scratch”), with expressive aspiration; or from *ksnew-. Compare also μνόος (mnóos, “fine, soft down”).

Generally connected with γόμφος (gómphos, “peg, nail”), but the α-vocalism is problematic. Neither an influence from γαμψός (gampsós, “curved, crooked”) or γναμπτήρ (gnamptḗr, “jaw”) seems to be a sufficient explanation. Pedersen pointed to Proto-Slavic *gǫba (“lip, mouth”). According to Beekes, the word may be Pre-Greek given the suffix -ηλ-, which can be found also in τράχηλος (trákhēlos).

ἠπῐ́ᾰλε (singular vocative)
ἠπῐᾰ́λω (dual vocative)
ἠπῐ́ᾰλοι (plural vocative)

According to Strömberg, it is from ἤπιος (ḗpios, “mild, soothing”), so properly "mild fever", which would be a taboo paraphrase; this seems an improbable hypothesis. The word ἠπίολος (ēpíolos, “moth”) should not be separated from this one, as is shown by Lithuanian drugys (“fever; moth”), Albanian ethe (“fever”) with ethëzë (“moth”). Given the variation α/ο, it is probably a Pre-Greek word.

Greek: ανία (anía)

Unknown. The connection with Sanskrit अमीव (amīva, “pain, grief”) requires an unwarranted dissimilation m-ṷ > n-ṷ and should be rejected. As remarked by Nikolaev, derivation from *h₂eys- (“to search”) is semantically not very convincing; he proposed instead to connect the root *h₂eis(h₂) (“to refresh”).

Connection with ψίομαι (psíomai, “to chew”) is semantically attractive, but the formation is quite unclear. Since an Indo-European origin is formally hardly possible, the word could well be Pre-Greek.

Julius Pokorny connects this word with σπαίρω (spaírō, “to hammer, to make rapid movements”). Frisk connects this word with σφαῖρα (sphaîra, “ball”), but this seems far-fetched, especially since the semantic connection is not evident. The etymology thus remains uncertain.

Of Semitic origin, borrowed from Hebrew בָּשָׂם (bāśām, “sweet spice, sweet smell”), the consonant sequence in Greek being explained as an attempt of rendering שׂ (ś) sounding back then [ɬ]; the semantic development may later have been attached to Aramaic and Ancient North Arabian.

Formation like ἀρτηρία (artēría), from an unattested *λαυκάνη (*laukánē). An aspirated by-form appears in λαυχάνη (laukhánē, “tongue; language”). Since there are no certain correspondences (Lithuanian liaukà (“gland”) has been proposed, but does not convince), and as there is a variant with -χ-, Pre-Greek origin is almost certain. The form in λευκ- may be folk-etymological after λευκός (leukós, “white”), but may also be due to substrate origin.

Greek: ιμάντας (imántas)

As a secondary formation in -ντ-, this word presupposed a noun *ἱμᾱ (*himā) or ἱμα (hima) meaning "rope", which is also continued in ἱμάω (himáō), ἱμάσθλη (himásthlē) and ἱμαῖος (himaîos). An n-stem is continued by ἱμονιά (himoniá), which probably derives from *ἱμων (*himōn). This last form exactly matches Proto-Germanic *sīmô (“rope”), and also Sanskrit सीमन् (sīman, “border, frontier, margin”), all from Proto-Indo-European *sh₂i-men (“to tie, bind”). A suffix -m- is also found in Irish sim (“chain”).
