σκολόπενδρα
Ancient Greek
Etymology
Suggested to be a combination of σκόλοψ (skólops, “thorn”) and ἔντερον (énteron, “earthworm”), but Beekes finds this unconvincing and suggests Lua error in Module:parameters at line 290: 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..
