κύμβαχος

Ancient Greek

Etymology

According to Leumann, the divergent meanings should be explained from an original substantival, technical sense. The formation favors this as well: compare especially οὐρίαχος (ouríakhos, “end of a spear”) and στόμαχος (stómakhos, “throat, gullet; stomach”). The form κύμβη (kúmbē, “drinking cup”) has been taken as the basis, but this is unconvincing. Other have started from a nasalized form of κυβή (kubḗ, “head”): this form without prenasalization shows that the word is Pre-Greek.
