"μίσχος" meaning in Ancient Greek

See μίσχος in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Noun

IPA: /mís.kʰos/, /ˈmis.xos/, /ˈmis.xos/, /mís.kʰos/ (note: 5ᵗʰ BCE Attic), /ˈmis.kʰos/ (note: 1ˢᵗ CE Egyptian), /ˈmis.xos/ (note: 4ᵗʰ CE Koine), /ˈmis.xos/ (note: 10ᵗʰ CE Byzantine), /ˈmis.xos/ (note: 15ᵗʰ CE Constantinopolitan)
Etymology: Seemingly first agricultural then made botanical by Theophrastus. μίσκαιος (mískaios, “garden”) with Lithuanian mìškas (“wood, forest”) does not give a likely meaning connection, while μίσκος (mískos, “husk, pod”) is very similar. While Pre-Greek origin has been claimed, the form and variation σχ/σκ looks kind of Semitic, compare μασχάλη (maskhálē, “axil, hollow at the base of a shoot; branch, young palm twig”).
