κόλος
Ancient Greek
editEtymology
editTraditionally compared with Proto-Balto-Slavic *kálˀtei (“to forge, strike”) (whence Lithuanian kálti (“to beat, to hammer”) and Proto-Slavic *kòlti (“to sting”)), which is either from Proto-Indo-European *kelh₂- (“to beat, break”) or *(s)kelH- (“to cut, split”). However, Beekes has some doubts, particularly due to the likely-related κολούω (koloúō, “to mutilate, limit”) exhibiting strange morphology, and alternatively and tentatively suggests Pre-Greek origin.[1]
