- κόθουρος
- κόθουροςGrammatical information: adj.Meaning: adjunct of κηφήν or the drone, `without sting' (Hes. Op. 304); κόθουριν (cod. -οῦ-) ἀλώπεκα H.Origin: XX [etym. unknown]Etymology: Like κόλουρος, f. -ρις `with cut (short) tail' (of the fox etc.) from κόλος and οὑρά, thus without doubt κόθουρος to κοθώ βλάβη H., which is further unclear. In H. also κορθώ βλάβη; so κόθουρος for *κορθ-ουρος and κοθώ derived from κόθουρος? - With κορθώ cf. Skt. kr̥dhú- `shortened, mutilated, invalid' (but this would have given *κραθ-υ- in Greek). - Fur. 198 connects κοντός, κονδός, with similar meaning, s.v.See also: s. κυρσάνιος.Page in Frisk: 1,891
