"Κανδαύλης" meaning in Ancient Greek

See Κανδαύλης in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Proper name

IPA: /kan.dǎu̯.lɛːs/, /kanˈda.βlis/, /kanˈda.vlis/, /kan.dǎu̯.lɛːs/ (note: 5ᵗʰ BCE Attic), /kanˈdaw.le̝s/ (note: 1ˢᵗ CE Egyptian), /kanˈda.βlis/ (note: 4ᵗʰ CE Koine), /kanˈda.vlis/ (note: 10ᵗʰ CE Byzantine), /kanˈda.vlis/ (note: 15ᵗʰ CE Constantinopolitan)
Etymology: The idea that this name means "dog-throttler" has been brought to life by Tzetzes and it was further elaborated by comparativists who claimed that the first part demonstrates some similarity with Proto-Indo-European *ḱwṓ (“dog”), while the second can be compared with Proto-Slavic *daviti (“to suffocate, strangle”) and, accordingly, reconstructed as *dʰeh₂w-. However, Hawkins acknowledges another plausible explanation and suggests that this name actually meant "king", connecting it with Luwian [script needed] (ḫantawati-), with a Carian influence. Being not entirely free of difficulties, the latter explanation has the advantage of being based on inner-Anatolian linguistic and cultural comparisons. In the end, it seems that it will be hardly possible to definitively prove any etymology of this name.
