|etymtx=Grammatical information: m.<br />Meaning: <b class="b2">a locust</b> (Thphr.).<br />Other forms: <b class="b3">βροῦχος</b> (LXX, Ph.), <b class="b3">βρούκα</b> (Cypr., H.); <b class="b3">βραῦκος</b> (Cret.), <b class="b3">βραύκη</b> (AB, H.), <b class="b3">βρε</b><<b class="b3">ῦ</b>><b class="b3">κος ἡ μικρὰ ἀκρίς</b>, <b class="b3">ὑπὸ Κρητῶν</b> H., <b class="b3">βρύκος</b> (H.), <b class="b3">βρόκοι ἀττέλεβοι</b>, <b class="b3">ἀκρίδες</b> H.<br />Dialectal forms: Ion. acc. to H.<br />Origin: PG [a word of Pre-Greek origin]<br />Etymology: <b class="b3">βρύκος</b> (and <b class="b3">βροῦχος</b>) was compared (EM ) with <b class="b3">βρύκω</b> <b class="b2">eat greedily, gobble, grind</b> but the agreement may be secondary. - No doubt a Pre-Gr. word, which fits the vowel-variation; the names if small animals show more often variation, but this is often exactly due to foreign origin, or dialectal differences (cf. cf. Schwyzer 198). S. also [[βερκνίς]]. - Through Lat. [[bruchus]] Fr. [[bruche]].
