"μῶλυς" meaning in Ancient Greek

See μῶλυς in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Adjective

IPA: /mɔ̂ː.lys/, /ˈmo.lys/, /ˈmo.lis/, /mɔ̂ː.lys/ (note: 5ᵗʰ BCE Attic), /ˈmo.lys/ (note: 1ˢᵗ CE Egyptian), /ˈmo.lys/ (note: 4ᵗʰ CE Koine), /ˈmo.lys/ (note: 10ᵗʰ CE Byzantine), /ˈmo.lis/ (note: 15ᵗʰ CE Constantinopolitan) Forms: μῶλῠς [canonical], môlus [romanization], μῶλῠ [neuter]
Etymology: For μωλύω (mōlúō, “to parboil, scald, simmer”), compare κωλύω (kōlúō). Because of the unclear meaning and formation, this adjective is etymologically hard to assess. Connection with μέλεος (méleos, “idle, useless, vain”) does not explain the long vowel -ω-. Comparison with μῶλος (môlos, “toil and moil”) is mentioned by Pokorny. As Frisk remarks, everything remains hypothetical. According to Beekes, the suffix -υκ- looks Pre-Greek. Etymology templates: {{unk|grc|title=hypothetical}} hypothetical, {{der|grc|qsb-grc|-}} Pre-Greek
