ψωλή

According to Beekes, related to the same root as ψάω (psáō, “to rub, wipe”), ψωμός (psōmós, “morsel, bit”), ψωλός (psōlós, “with the foreskin drawn back; circumcised”), ψώρα (psṓra, “mange”) and ψωχός (psōkhós, “sandy”). According to Beekes, inherited explanations must be given up; the group of words is probably Pre-Greek, especially given the coexistence of ψαίω (psaíō), ψαύω (psaúō) and ψίω (psíō); perhaps loaned from another Indo-European language and ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *pel- (“to cover, wrap; skin, hide; cloth”).
