Frisk Etymological English

-ύος
Grammatical information: f.
Meaning: turtle (Ant. Lib. 32, 2, H.).
Origin: PG [a word of Pre-Greek origin]
Etymology: For the formation cf. the synonymous χέλυς, ἐμύς. Orig. prob. foreign word, but connected with κλέμμα (κλέπτω) because turtles can hide their body partly or completely under the armour(?) . Cf. Güntert Reimwortbildungen 144: cross of ἐμύς and *κλωμός = Skt. kūrmá- turtle (IE?; cf. Mayrhofer KEWA s. v.) with -μμ- from κλέμμα. - Far-fetched suggestion. Fur. 131 compares κρέμυς a fish with a very hard head and χρέμυς ὁ ὀνίσκος ἰχθύς H.; this confims that the word is Pre-Greek. How do we know about a connection with κλέμμα? On geminates Fur. 387, where this word can be added.

Frisk Etymology German

{klemmús}

Meaning: Schildkröte (Ant. Lib. 32, 2, H.).
Etymology : Zur Bildung vgl. die synonymen χέλυς, ἐμύς.

Güntert Reimwortbildungen 144: Kreuzung von ἐμύς und *κλωμός = aind. kūrmá- Schildkröte (indogermanisch?; vgl. Mayrhofer Wb. s. v.) mit -μμ- nach κλέμμα.
