Τὸν αὐτὸν αἰνεῖν καὶ ψέγειν ἀνδρὸς κακοῦ → Hominis mali est culpare, quem laudaverit → Den selben lobt und tadelt nur ein schlechter Mann

Menander, Monostichoi, 506

Greek (Liddell-Scott)

μάνυζα: «μονοκέφαλον σκόροδον, ὅπερ ἔνιοι μώλυζαν» Ἡσύχ.

Greek Monolingual

μάνυζα, ἡ (Α)
(κατά τον Ησύχ.) «μονοκέφαλον σκόροδον, ὅπερ ἔνιοι μώλυζαν».
[ΕΤΥΜΟΛ. Η λ. συνδέεται πιθ. με τα μανός και μάνυ (πρβλ. κόνυζα, μώλυζα)].

Frisk Etymological English

Grammatical information: f.
Meaning: μονοκέφαλον σκόροδον H.
Origin: PG [a word of Pre-Greek origin]
Etymology: The word is no doubt a Pre-Greek plant name (which has nothing to do with μανός); for words in -ζα (note the short ) cf. κόνυζα (from -dya?).
