Grammatical information: m.
Meaning: small stones, gravel in a riverbed, also coll. (Th., Str., J.).
Other forms: κόχλαξ, -ακος (LXX)
Origin: PG [a word of Pre-Greek origin]
Etymology: Formation in -ηξ as τράπηξ, νάρθηξ a. o. (cf. Björck Alpha impurum 261f.); The word has been connected (Zupitza Die german. Gutturale 207f.) with the Germ. word for hail, OHG hagal m., ONord. hagl n. etc. - After Güntert Labyrinth 28 n. 1 κάχληξ together with Lat. calx would have been taken from Aegaean. For foreign origin also Porzig ZII 5, 269f. The vowel-alternation points to a Pre-Greek word.
Middle Liddell
κάχληξ, ηκος, ὁ,
a pebble in the beds of rivers:—collectively, gravel, shingle, Thuc. [Prob. akin to χάλιξ, Lat. calx, calculus.]
