"σαλαμάνδρα" meaning in Ancient Greek

See σαλαμάνδρα in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Noun

IPA: /sa.la.mán.dra/, /sa.laˈman.dra/, /sa.laˈman.dra/, /sa.la.mán.dra/ (note: 5ᵗʰ BCE Attic), /sa.laˈman.dra/ (note: 1ˢᵗ CE Egyptian), /sa.laˈman.dra/ (note: 4ᵗʰ CE Koine), /sa.laˈman.dra/ (note: 10ᵗʰ CE Byzantine), /sa.laˈman.dra/ (note: 15ᵗʰ CE Constantinopolitan)
Etymology: Unknown. Suggestions put forward are: # From Pre-Greek, possibly akin σαύρα (saúra, “lizard”), itself of unclear origin. # Akin to Basque sugalindila, sugelinda, sugalinda, sugalindara, sugelindara, sugelandara, subemandil, sumandil, sugemandila (“lizard”), assuming both ultimately coming from a common source. Sound symbolism most likely had a role into the ultimate shape of the term, as it did in many languages in their terms for “lizard”. Compare also Byzantine Greek σαλαμίνθη (salamínthē, “spider”), with which it may share the possibly imitative root σαλαμ- (salam-).

Compare also Byzantine Greek σαλαμίνθη (salamínthē, “spider”), with which it may share the possibly imitative root σαλαμ- (salam-).",
