κολοίφρυξ
Grammatical information: ?
Meaning: Ταναγραῖος ἀλεκτρυών. καὶ ὄρος Βοιωτίας H.
Origin: PG [a word of Pre-Greek origin]X [probably]
Etymology: Acc. to Bechtel Gött. Nachr. 1919, 345f. and Dial. 1, 306 from κολοιός and φάρυξ with the unstressed α pushed out, so prop. "with the throat of a jackdaw". From the animal the name would have passed to the montain. -φρυξ might have retained then an old zero grade, s. on φάρυγξ (improbable). - The PN Κολοιφων (IG 5 : 2, 425, 3) explaine B. similarly as "who has the appearnce of a κολοιός". Cf. Kronasser, Sprache 6 (1960) 176. Prob. Pre-Greek.
