καμασήν

καμασήν
καμασήν, -ῆνος
Grammatical information: m.
Meaning: name of an unknown fish (Emp., AP, Hdn. Gr., H.).
Origin: LW [a loanword which is (probably) not of Pre-Greek origin] Eur. substr.
Etymology: - From the fish name ἠλακατήν from ἠλακάτη one would posite for καμασήν a basis *κάμασος with suffixal -ασος as in πέτασος, κόμπασος (Chantraine Formation 435; I don't understand the reasoning and I don't find it in the Formation). One connects Baltoslavic words for the Wels [unknown to me], Lith. šāmas, Latv. sams, Slav. (Russ. etc.) som. One further connects κάμ-αξ `pole, bar' (s. v.), Solmsen Wortforsch. 122f.; on the motive see Strömberg Fischnamen 36. So from a Eur. substratum? Fur. 214 connects κάβα(ι)σος, καμασός, but without evidence.
