"κεράμβυξ" meaning in Ancient Greek

See κεράμβυξ in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Noun

IPA: /ke.rám.byks/, /ceˈram.byks/, /ceˈram.biks/, /ke.rám.byks/ (note: 5ᵗʰ BCE Attic), /keˈram.byks/ (note: 1ˢᵗ CE Egyptian), /ceˈram.byks/ (note: 4ᵗʰ CE Koine), /ceˈram.byks/ (note: 10ᵗʰ CE Byzantine), /ceˈram.biks/ (note: 15ᵗʰ CE Constantinopolitan)
Etymology: The formation is similar to κόλυμβος (kólumbos), κόρυμβος (kórumbos), σήραμβος (sḗrambos) and βόμβυξ (bómbux), ὄρτυξ (órtux). The form cannot be derived from κέρας (kéras, “horn”). If the word has prenasalization, which seemes probable, it is of Pre-Greek origin. Moreover, -υκ- is a typical Pre-Greek suffix. Furnée compares κάραβος (kárabos, “kind of beetle”), κεράμβηλον (kerámbēlon, “kind of beetle”) and κηραφίς (kēraphís, “kind of locust”), suggesting a common root.
