WP. 2, 581 ff., Pok. 943 f. -- Lat. LW [loanword] [[scorpius]], <b class="b2">-iō</b>, Russ. LW [loanword] <b class="b2">skórpij</b>. -- As stated prob. a Pre-Greek word. Furnée (index!) thinks that all words with <b class="b2">(s)kr(m)P-</b> contain the same Pre-Greek word; cf. <b class="b3">κάραβος</b>, <b class="b3">καράμβιος</b>, *<b class="b3">σκαραβαῖος</b>, [[κεράμβυξ]], <b class="b3">κεράμβηλον</b>, [[κηραφίς]], [[γραψαῖος]]. This is perh. possible, but it cannot be considered certain. One notes that all forms clearly have <b class="b3">καρα(μ</b>)P-, but that <b class="b3">γραψαῖος</b> and <b class="b3">σκορπιος</b> do not have a vowel between <b class="b3">ρ</b> and the (nasal +) labial (the presence of a vowel agrees with the (pre)nasalization).
