Andr. 1033 [lyr.], Lyc.);Derivatives: κελώριον παιδίον H.Origin: PG [a word of Pre-Greek origin]X [probably]Etymology: Because of the ending (as ἕλωρ, τέκμωρ a. o.; Schwyzer 519) perh. orig. a n. `descendance'. Dissimilated from *κέρωρ? but hardly a variant of Lat. Cerēs, OHG hirsi `millet', Arm. ser (IE. *ḱer-s-i-) `generation, descendance'. Bq s. v. and MSL 17, 113ff.; see Pok. 577).

Fur. 212 suggests Pre-Greek origin, comparing other forms in -ωρ (n. 50): ἄχωρ, ἰχωρ, βιάτωρ, λείτωρ, ψόθωρ; but I see no further indications.Page in Frisk: 1,818
