Fur. 183 compares στρύχνον, τρύχνον (Nic., Gal.; s.v), -ος (Theocr.); he remarked that after σ- we often find the voiceless variant; on the epenthesis cf. (183 n. 9) (σ)κόνυζα\/κνύζα, κολυμβάς\/κλύβατις, so he assumes that this word stands for *δρυκ(χ?)νιον (the vowel may have been α, with α \> ο before -υ-).Page in Frisk: 1,412
