κάχληξ
Ancient Greek
Alternative forms
- κόχλαξ (kókhlax)
Etymology
The formation is like τράφηξ (tráphēx), ὄρπηξ (órpēx) and νάρθηξ (nárthēx). The word has been compared with Proto-Germanic *haglaz (“hail, hailstone”). However, the presence of the alternative form points to a Lua error in Module:parameters at line 291: Parameter 2 should be a valid language, etymology language or family code; the value "pregrc" is not valid. See WT:LOL, WT:LOL/E and WT:LOF. origin.
