"τευθίς" meaning in Ancient Greek

See τευθίς in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Noun

IPA: /teu̯.tʰís/, /teɸˈθis/, /tefˈθis/, /teu̯.tʰís/ (note: 5ᵗʰ BCE Attic), /tewˈtʰis/ (note: 1ˢᵗ CE Egyptian), /teɸˈθis/ (note: 4ᵗʰ CE Koine), /tefˈθis/ (note: 10ᵗʰ CE Byzantine), /tefˈθis/ (note: 15ᵗʰ CE Constantinopolitan)
Etymology: According to Beekes, the word could be Pre-Greek, in view of the variant and the meaning. Several unconvincing attempts have been made by Pokorny, who compares the word with Sanskrit दोधति (dodhati, “fierce, impetuous, turbulent”) and by Schindler, who assumes an original color term, like in the plant name τεύθριον (teúthrion).
