ψαλίς
Ancient Greek
Etymology
Uncertain but perhaps related to ψάλιον (psálion, “curb chain”) and ψέλιον (psélion, “armlet”). Maybe from 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..
