ἔγγραυλις
Ancient Greek
Alternative forms
- ἐγγραύλη (engraúlē), ἐγγραυλίς (engraulís), ἔγγραυλος (éngraulos)
Etymology
Unexplained. Strömberg starts from an unattested verb *ἐγγραυλίζω (*engraulízō), beside γρυλίζω (grulízō, “to grumble”); thus this word would mean "the grumbling one". However, the variation αυ/υ is not convincing.
