"δάκτυλος" meaning in Ancient Greek

See δάκτυλος in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Noun

IPA: /dák.ty.los/, /ˈðak.ty.los/, /ˈðak.ti.los/, /dák.ty.los/ (note: 5ᵗʰ BCE Attic), /ˈdak.ty.los/ (note: 1ˢᵗ CE Egyptian), /ˈðak.ty.los/ (note: 4ᵗʰ CE Koine), /ˈðak.ty.los/ (note: 10ᵗʰ CE Byzantine), /ˈðak.ti.los/ (note: 15ᵗʰ CE Constantinopolitan)
Etymology: Uncertain; probably Pre-Greek. Possibly related to Latin digitus, though the details are unclear. Note also Boeotian Greek δακκύλιος (dakkúlios). The sense "date" is probably a folk-etymological alteration of a word from a Semitic source such as Arabic دَقَل (daqal, “variety of date palm”) or Hebrew דֶּקֶל (deqel, “date palm”).
