German (Pape)

Andere von οὐλή od. αὐλός), Made, bes. die im verwesenden Fleische, gew. im plur., Il. 19, 26. 24, 414; αἰόλαι, wimmelnde, kribbelnde Würmer, 22, 509; Hippocr.; ὑπ' εὐλέων καταβρωθῆναι Her. 3, 16; ζῶσα εὐλέων ἐξέζεσε 4, 205; σηπόμενος καὶ εἰς εὐλὰς καὶ κνώδαλα μεταβάλλων Plat. Ax. 365 c; vgl. Arist. H. A. 2, 6; καὶ σκώληκες Plut. Artax. 16; den sing. hat Hippocr.; Anth. XIV, 149. Von anderen, vielleicht Regenwürmern, Orph. Lith. 15, 91. Vgl. ἕλμινς.

French (Bailly abrégé)

ῆς (ἡ) :
ver, insecte.
Étymologie: R. ϜελϜ, rouler > ϜεϜλ-, Ϝευλ- ; cf. εἰλέω ou εἴλω.

English (Autenrieth)

(cf. ϝείλω): worm, maggot. (Il.)

Greek Monolingual

εὐλή, ἡ (Α)
συν. στον πληθ.
1. σκουλήκι, προνύμφη μύγας η οποία ζει στο κρέας που σαπίζει («ὑπ' εὐλέων καταβρωθῆναι», Ηρόδ.)
2. γεν. σκουλήκι («εὐλάς τε κάμπας τε»).
[ΕΤΥΜΟΛ. < ε-Fl-a, ίσως < Fελ-ή, με μετάθεση. Πρόκειται για ονοματικό παράγωγο του ρ. είλω «στρέφω, γυρίζω, περιστρέφω»].

Greek Monotonic

εὐλή: ἡ, σκουλήκι ή κάμπια, νύμφη εντόμου, μύγας, σε Ομήρ. Ιλ., Ηρόδ.

Russian (Dvoretsky)

εὐλή: ἡ преимущ. pl. личинка, (могильный) червь Hom., Her., Arst., Plut.: εἰς εὐλὰς καὶ κνώδαλα μεταβάλλειν Plat. (после смерти) стать добычей червей и диких зверей.

Frisk Etymological English

Grammatical information: f.
Meaning: worm. maggot (Il.).
Other forms: mostly pl. -αί. Cf. εὐλάζει σαπριᾳ̃, σκωληκιᾳ̃ H. One also mentions ὑάλη σκώληξ Η. supposed to stand for ὑαλή; it is quite doubtful that this form is cognate.
Origin: XX [etym. unknown]
Etymology: For *ἐ-Ϝλ-ή (Schwyzer 224), but what would be this ἐ-? (a prothetic vowel is no longer possible, unless one assumes *h₁u̯el-; but *h₁ul- would give ὑλ-). If not with metathesis from *Ϝελ-ή (cf. to εὐρύς), which is improbable. Old verbal noun to 2. εἰλέω, ἴλλω turn, wind, so pop. winding, what winds itself. - Cf. ἕλμις. - The word may well be Pre-Greek.
