|etymtx=Grammatical information: f.<br />Meaning: [[arm-pit]], almost only in the expression <b class="b3">ὑπὸ μάλης</b> [[under the arm-pit]], [[secretly]] (Att.), later also [[ὑπὸ μάλην]] ([[ὑπὸ την μάλην]]) [[μάλην]] (Plb., Luc.), [[παρὰ την μάλην]] (Hippiatr.).<br />Dialectal forms: Myc. marapi /malaphi/?<br />Origin: XX [etym. unknown]<br />Etymology: With the same meaning [[μασχάλη]]; that the word was shortened from this form does not seem probable to me. Schwyzer 584 gives no new insight.
