Greek (Liddell-Scott)

σκολόπᾰξ: -ᾰκος, ὁ, ἴσως ἡ ξυλόκοττα, εἶδος μπεκάτσας, Scolopax rusticola, Ἀριστ. π. τὰ Ζ. Ἱστ. 8. 8, 12· scolõpax παρὰ τῷ Nemesean. Aucup. 21· καὶ ὁ Ἀριστ. δὲ ἔχει ἀσκαλώπας, ὃ ἴδε, Ἡσύχ.

Frisk Etymological English

-ακος
Grammatical information: m.
Meaning: name of a bird, which is usually identified wit ἀσκαλώπας (-πᾶς?) m. (Arist.) and explained as woodcock, Scolopax rusticola; cf. Thompson Birds s. vv.
Origin: PG [a word of Pre-Greek origin]X [probably]
Etymology: To σκόλοψ pole (referring to the long beak of the snipe), either as cognate with it or folk-etymolog. adapted to it. With the anlaut and auslaut cf. e.g. ἀσπάλαξ beside σπάλαξ (Chantraine Form. 378); ἀσκαλώπας (-πᾶς?) like κελαινώπας (S. in lyr.), βύας, ἀτταγᾶς; the stemvowel after σκάλλω. -- Furnée 344 identifies the word with ἀσκαλωπ- and concludes that it was Pre-Greek. Anyhow the word looks Pre-Greek.

Frisk Etymology German

σκολόπαξ: -ακος
{skolópaks}
Grammar: m. (Arist.)
Meaning: N. eines Vogels, der gewöhnlich mit ἀσκαλώπας (-πᾶς?) m. (Arist.) identifiziert und als Waldschnepfe, Scolopax rusticola erklärt wird; vgl. Thompson Birds s. vv.
Etymology: Zu σκόλοψ Pfahl (mit Bez. auf den langen Schnabel der Schnepfe), entweder als damit verwandt oder volksetymologisch daran angeglichen. Zum Anlaut und Auslaut vgl. z.B. ἀσπάλαξ neben σπάλαξ (Chantraine Form. 378); ἀσκαλώπας (-πᾶς?) wie κελαινώπας (S. in lyr.), βύας, ἀτταγᾶς; der Stammvokal nach σκάλλω.
