αἰγίλωψ

Ancient Greek

Etymology

Unclear.[1]

  1. The oak sense has been argued to retain a Proto-Indo-European *h₂eyǵ- (“oak”) whence Proto-Germanic *aiks (“oak”) and Latin aesculus (“some oak”).
  2. However, the haver-grass sense has been argued to derive from αἴγιλος (aígilos, “haver-grass”), from Proto-Indo-European *h₂eyǵ- (“goat”) (whence αἴξ (aíx)).
  3. For the lachrymal fistula sense, see also ἀγχίλωψ (ankhílōps).
