"κόμβος" meaning in Ancient Greek

See κόμβος in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Noun

IPA: /kóm.bos/, /ˈkom.bos/, /ˈkom.bos/, /kóm.bos/ (note: 5ᵗʰ BCE Attic), /ˈkom.bos/ (note: 1ˢᵗ CE Egyptian), /ˈkom.bos/ (note: 4ᵗʰ CE Koine), /ˈkom.bos/ (note: 10ᵗʰ CE Byzantine), /ˈkom.bos/ (note: 15ᵗʰ CE Constantinopolitan)
Etymology: The old comparisons with Lithuanian kabìnti (“to hang, hook on”), Proto-Slavic *skobà (“bracket”) and, within Greek, σκαμβός (skambós, “crooked”) are quite dubious. The form κομποθηλεία (kompothēleía) clearly shows that there was a variant with -π-, which points to Pre-Greek origin.
