Grammatical information: n.pl.
Meaning: κονδύλοι (knuckle). οἱ δε βρύτανα H.
Origin: PG [a word of Pre-Greek origin]
Etymology: Formation in -ανον (Chantr. Form. 197ff., Schwyzer 489f.). Connected with βυτθόν πλῆθος H. and βύττος γυναικὸς αἰδοῖον H., for which I see no reason (except the superficial formal resemblance). - The variant with βρ- points to a Pre-Greek word; more examples Fur. 330.
