"γαστήρ" meaning in Ancient Greek

See γαστήρ in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Noun

IPA: /ɡas.tɛ̌ːr/, /ɣasˈtir/, /ɣasˈtir/, /ɡas.tɛ̌ːr/ (note: 5ᵗʰ BCE Attic), /ɡasˈte̝r/ (note: 1ˢᵗ CE Egyptian), /ɣasˈtir/ (note: 4ᵗʰ CE Koine), /ɣasˈtir/ (note: 10ᵗʰ CE Byzantine), /ɣasˈtir/ (note: 15ᵗʰ CE Constantinopolitan)
Etymology: Traditionally derived from a dissimilation of an unattested earlier *γρᾰστήρ (*grăstḗr, “devourer”), from γρᾰ́ω (grắō, “to gnaw, eat”) + -τήρ (-tḗr, agent noun suffix). If so, Sanskrit ग्रस्तर् (grastar, “(astronomy) eclipser (originally "devourer")”) would be an exact cognate; for a semantic parallel to the Sanskrit term, compare Chinese 蝕 /蚀 (shí, “to corrode, eclipse”), which is derived from 食 (shí, “to eat”). However, Beekes is skeptical of the semantics (it is somewhat of a stretch to consider the belly as an "eater"), and tentatively prefers a derivation from *gnt-tēr, with *-tt- > -st-, comparing γέντα (génta, “intestines”) (which itself is of unclear origin).

If so, Sanskrit ग्रस्तर् (grastar, “(astronomy) eclipser (originally \"devourer\")”) would be an exact cognate; for a semantic parallel to the Sanskrit term, compare Chinese 蝕 /蚀 (shí, “to corrode, eclipse”), which is derived from 食 (shí, “to eat”).\nHowever, Beekes is skeptical of the semantics (it is somewhat of a stretch to consider the belly as an \"eater\"), and tentatively prefers a derivation from *gnt-tēr, with *-tt- > -st-, comparing γέντα (génta, “intestines”) (which itself is of unclear origin).",

If so, Sanskrit ग्रस्तर् (grastar, “(astronomy) eclipser (originally \"devourer\")”) would be an exact cognate; for a semantic parallel to the Sanskrit term, compare Chinese 蝕 /蚀 (shí, “to corrode, eclipse”), which is derived from 食 (shí, “to eat”).\nHowever, Beekes is skeptical of the semantics (it is somewhat of a stretch to consider the belly as an \"eater\"), and tentatively prefers a derivation from *gnt-tēr, with *-tt- > -st-, comparing γέντα (génta, “intestines”) (which itself is of unclear origin).",
