"καμασήν" meaning in Ancient Greek

See καμασήν in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Noun

IPA: /ka.ma.sɛ̌ːn/, /ka.maˈsin/, /ka.maˈsin/, /ka.ma.sɛ̌ːn/ (note: 5ᵗʰ BCE Attic), /ka.maˈse̝n/ (note: 1ˢᵗ CE Egyptian), /ka.maˈsin/ (note: 4ᵗʰ CE Koine), /ka.maˈsin/ (note: 10ᵗʰ CE Byzantine), /ka.maˈsin/ (note: 15ᵗʰ CE Constantinopolitan)
Etymology: Given the fish name ἠλακατήν (ēlakatḗn, “kind of tunny”), which derives from ἠλακάτη (ēlakátē, “distaff, spindle”), one would posit a basic word *κάμασος, with suffixal -ασος like in πέτασος (pétasos, “broad-brimmed hat”). It has been connected with Balto-Slavic words for the "sheatfish", such as Lithuanian šāmas, Latvian sams and Russian сом (som). Further connected with κάμαξ (kámax, “pole, bar”) by Solmsen. Probably a loan from the European substrate. Furnée connects it with κάβαισος (kábaisos, “glutton, gourmand”) and καμασός (kamasós, “gulf, pit”), but without evidence.
