"βάταλος" meaning in Ancient Greek

See βάταλος in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Noun

IPA: /bǎː.ta.los/, /ˈβa.ta.los/, /ˈva.ta.los/, /bǎː.ta.los/ (note: 5ᵗʰ BCE Attic), /ˈba.ta.los/ (note: 1ˢᵗ CE Egyptian), /ˈβa.ta.los/ (note: 4ᵗʰ CE Koine), /ˈva.ta.los/ (note: 10ᵗʰ CE Byzantine), /ˈva.ta.los/ (note: 15ᵗʰ CE Constantinopolitan)
Etymology: There has been an attempt to link this word with βατέω (batéō, “to mount”) but the presence of the alternative forms dismisses this theory. Furnée correctly connects the word with σπάταλος (spátalos, “lewd, lascivious”), which indicates a common Pre-Greek origin.
