κοτύλη
Ancient Greek
Alternative forms
- κότυλος (kótulos)
Etymology
Furnée asserted a relation to Latin catīnus (“flat dish”), claiming that the deviation in vowel and formation suggests that they are independent loans from a third party, and adducing κόνδυ (kóndu, “cup”) and κονδύλιον (kondúlion), with the observation "-υλη" is a well-known suffix in Pre-Greek. 'Pre-Greek' is untenable, however, given Sanskrit कपाल (kapā́la, “cup, jar, dish, bowl; socket, cotyle, bone”), कपटी (kapaṭī, “measure equal to the capacity of the hollows of the two hands joined”), कुन्तल (kuntala, “drinking-cup”). कन्दु (kandu, “vessel”), करताल (karatāla, “cymbals”), and other nearby forms.
