"κλεμμύς" meaning in Ancient Greek

See κλεμμύς in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Noun

IPA: /klem.mýs/, /klemˈmys/, /kleˈmis/, /klem.mýs/ (note: 5ᵗʰ BCE Attic), /klemˈmys/ (note: 1ˢᵗ CE Egyptian), /klemˈmys/ (note: 4ᵗʰ CE Koine), /klemˈmys/ (note: 10ᵗʰ CE Byzantine), /kleˈmis/ (note: 15ᵗʰ CE Constantinopolitan)
Etymology: The formation is similar to that of synonymous words χέλυς (khélus) and ἐμύς (emús). Originally considered a folk-etymological adaptation to κλέμμα (klémma) and κλέπτω (kléptō, “to conceal”), because turtles can hide their bodies under their shell. Furnée compares κρεμύς (kremús, “a kind of fish”) and χρέμυς (khrémus, “a sort of cod”); these variants confirm that the word is Pre-Greek.
