Frisk Etymological English
Grammatical information: m.
Meaning: purple stripe or edge of a chiton (Ar., Pherecr.); tuft neckband (Att. inscr.; cf. Kretschmer Glotta 16, 169 w. lit.).
Origin: PG [a word of Pre-Greek origin]
Etymology: Technical word with β-suffix as e.g. in κόσυμβος, κόλλαβος (s. vv. w. lit.). Connection with ὄχθη high edge seems possible; thus Grošelj (s. on ὄχθη) with improbable connection with Av. vaγδana-'head'. Not better Kretschmer l.c. Cf. also οἶβος (Luc. Lex. 3) ?; after Poll. τοῦ τραχήλου τοῦ βοὸς τὸ κάλλιστον. -- No doubt a Pre-Greek word; cf. Furnée 321.
