βαβάκινον

βαβάκινον, -ος

Grammatical information: m. (n.?)

Meaning: χύτρας εἶδος H.

Other forms: Cf. βακάϊον μέτρον τι H.

Origin: LW [a loanword which is (probably) not of Pre-Greek origin] Celt.?, Anat.?

Etymology: Comparing ἐμβακανίτης τὸ μετὰ τοῦ ταρίχους καὶ στέατος σκευαζόμενον βρῶμα H. (and Cyrill. mss.). Latte Glotta 32, 41 reconstructs an unreduplicated form *βάκινος (-ον) *βάκανον, probably also found in Lat. bacchinon (Greg. Tur.; from which Fr. bassin); cf. W.-Hofmann s. baccīnum. The word would be Anatolian or Celtic; also Germ. Back? Furnée 171 connects φάκται ληνοί, σιπύαι, πύελοι, Myc. du. pakoto \/phaktō\/. The variation would point to a Pre-Gr. word; uncertain.
