|etymtx=Grammatical information: f.<br />Meaning: <b class="b2">woollen skin, fleece, especially of sheep a. goat</b> (ξ 530, Lyc., Paus.);<br />Other forms: more usual [[νάκος]] n. (Pi., Hdt., Simon., inscr.).<br />Compounds: As 1. member a.o. in <b class="b3">νακο-δέψης</b> m. [[tenner]] (Hp.), as 2. member in [[κατωνάκη]] f. [[coarse cloth]], [[worn by slaves working on the field]], [[with a front of sheepskin]] (Ar.), prop. a bahuvrihi; on [[ἀρνακίς]] s. [[ἀρήν]].<br />Derivatives: <b class="b3">νακύριον δέρμα</b> H.; formation unclear (hypothetical combinations by v. Blumenthal Hesychst. 14f.), perhaps with Schmidt to be changed into [[νακύ]]<[[δ]]>[[ριον]] (like <b class="b3">μελ-ύδριον</b> a.o.; Chantraine Form. 72 f.).<br />Origin: PG [a word of Pre-Greek origin]<br />Etymology: With [[νάκος]] : [[νάκη]] cf. [[νάπος]] : [[νάπη]] and the not rare abstract pairs like [[βλάβος]] : [[βλάβη]] (on this Bolelli Stud. itfilcl. NS. 24, 98ff.); [[νάκος]] like [[εἶρος]], [[φᾶρος]] a.o., [[νάκη]] like [[λώπη]] a.o. -- Without immediate agreement outside Greek. Since Lidén IF 18, 410 f. one connects the in German. isolated OE [[næsc]] <b class="b2">soft leather like e.g. deer-skin</b>, which through PGm. <b class="b2">*naska-</b>, <b class="b2">-ō-</b> may represent IE <b class="b2">*nak-s-ko-</b>, <b class="b2">-ā-</b>; here also OPr. [[nognan]] [[leather]], if for [[noknan]] from IE <b class="b2">nāk-no-</b> (Lidén Stud. 66 f.). More dubious is the connection with Goth. [[snaga]] m. [[ἱμάτιον]]', s. Lidén [[l.c.]] and Feist Vgl. Wb. w. lit. -- WP. 2, 316f., Pok. 754. Cf. [[νάσσω]]. Rather a Pre-Greek word; Fur. 294, 305; the form [[νακύριον]] may point in the same direction.
