κόμβος
Ancient Greek
[edit]Etymology
[edit]The traditional comparisons with Lithuanian kabi̇̀nti (“to hang, hook on”), Proto-Slavic *skobà (“bracket”) and, within Greek, σκαμβός (skambós, “crooked”) are considered by Frisk and Beekes to be phonetically and semantically unsatisfactory. This, along with the β-π (b-p) variation demonstrated by the related form κομποθηλεία (kompothēleía, “buckle”), suggests Pre-Greek origin.[1]
