"χναύω" meaning in Ancient Greek

See χναύω in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Verb

IPA: /kʰnǎu̯.ɔː/, /ˈxna.βo/, /ˈxna.vo/, /kʰnǎu̯.ɔː/ (note: 5ᵗʰ BCE Attic), /ˈkʰna.wo/ (note: 1ˢᵗ CE Egyptian), /ˈxna.βo/ (note: 4ᵗʰ CE Koine), /ˈxna.vo/ (note: 10ᵗʰ CE Byzantine), /ˈxna.vo/ (note: 15ᵗʰ CE Constantinopolitan)
Etymology: This verb agrees in its vocalism with ψαύω (psaúō, “to touch lightly”), θραύω (thraúō, “to break”) and χραύω (khraúō, “to scrape, graze, wound lightly”), while the gloss χνίει (khníei, “drips, breaks into pieces”) reminds of ψίω (psíō, “to feed on pap”) and χρίω (khríō, “to touch, graze”). The original etymology is unclear, but compare χνόη (khnóē, “axle-box”) and χνόος (khnóos, “incrustation from salt water; powder”).
