ζιγνίς

ζιγνίς
ζιγνίς, -ίδος
Grammatical information: f.
Meaning: a kind of lizard (Arist. HA 604b 24).
Other forms: V.ll. ζίγνης, ζιγνύς, διγνύς; δειμνύς may be a simple mistake; s. below
Origin: PG [a word of Pre-Greek origin]
Etymology: Unknown. The variants with -υς, -ης may be unimportant, but the form with δ- may be a (real, spoken) simplification of original *dyign-; clearly a Pre-Greek word. Is δειμνύς a mistake for *διμνυς or διγνυς?
