Etymology: Metaphorical use of λογάδες (λίθοι) picked, chosen, i.e. unworked stones, rolling(?) stones as opposed to cut stones (Paus. 7, 22, 5); cf. also λογάδην through accidental selection, of stones (Th.), λιθο-λόγος (-έω, -ία) who works with uncut rolling(?) stones (opposite λιθο-τόμος, -ουργός); note however the alternative explanation of λογάδας as ψήφους λευκάς' in H. Thus(?) Swed. ögon-sten eye-ball, prop. "eyestone". - Wrong EM 572, 42 (to λοξόομαι, λοξός), Zupitza German. Gutt. 215 (to OE lōcian look etc.; WP. 2, 381), Bechtel Dial. 2, 284 (to λέγνον border; s. v.). Further s. λέγω; cf. also on λωγάλιοι. - Fur. 363 etc. connects λύγδος white marble: needs further adstruction.
