"κημός" meaning in Ancient Greek

See κημός in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Noun

IPA: /kɛː.mós/, /ciˈmos/, /ciˈmos/, /kɛː.mós/ (note: 5ᵗʰ BCE Attic), /ke̝ˈmos/ (note: 1ˢᵗ CE Egyptian), /ciˈmos/ (note: 4ᵗʰ CE Koine), /ciˈmos/ (note: 10ᵗʰ CE Byzantine), /ciˈmos/ (note: 15ᵗʰ CE Constantinopolitan)
Etymology: Unexplained. The connection with Old Armenian քամեմ (kʻamem, “to press (out)”) is formally possible but it is incompatible with the probable basic meaning of the Greek word, wicker. The same holds with other supposed cognates like Lithuanian kāmanos (“harness”), Russian ком (kom, “clump”) and Middle High German hemmen (“to restrain, hamper”). Furnée suggests, instead, a derivation from a Pre-Greek source common to χάβος (khábos) and χαμόν (khamón).

  "etymology_text": "Unexplained. The connection with Old Armenian քամեմ (kʻamem, “to press (out)”) is formally possible but it is incompatible with the probable basic meaning of the Greek word, wicker. The same holds with other supposed cognates like Lithuanian kāmanos (“harness”), Russian ком (kom, “clump”) and Middle High German hemmen (“to restrain, hamper”). Furnée suggests, instead, a derivation from a Pre-Greek source common to χάβος (khábos) and χαμόν (khamón).",
