"κολοκύνθη" meaning in Ancient Greek

See κολοκύνθη in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Noun

IPA: /ko.lo.kýn.tʰɛː/, /ko.loˈcyn.θi/, /ko.loˈcin.θi/, /ko.lo.kýn.tʰɛː/ (note: 5ᵗʰ BCE Attic), /ko.loˈkyn.tʰe̝/ (note: 1ˢᵗ CE Egyptian), /ko.loˈcyn.θi/ (note: 4ᵗʰ CE Koine), /ko.loˈcyn.θi/ (note: 10ᵗʰ CE Byzantine), /ko.loˈcin.θi/ (note: 15ᵗʰ CE Constantinopolitan)
Etymology: Based on the suffix, frequent in plant names of substrate origin, Beekes takes the word as Pre-Greek. The word has also been compared with Sanskrit कालिन्द (kālinda, “watermelon”) (which is traditionally considered to be named after the Hindu goddess Kali), as well as with Kurdish [Term?] (kalak, “melon”), because an informant in Athenaeus says that it was introduced from India. This does not reveal much more about the word's origins, however.
