Frisk Etymological English

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.

Frisk Etymology German

βύτανα: {bútana}

(expressive Gemination, falls nicht dial. für βυστόν) und βύττος· γυναικὸς αἰδοῖον H. als volkstümliche Dentalerweiterung des imitativen bu aufblasen (s. βυνέω) betrachtet. — WP. 2, 115 nach der ausführlichen Behandlung von Persson Beiträge 254, 272, 274.
