-οῦς
Grammatical information: f.
Meaning: woodpecker, Picus maior and minor (Arist. [vv. ll. πίπος, πίπρα etc.], Lyc.).
Origin: PG [a word of Pre-Greek origin]X [probably]
Etymology: Formation like ἀηδώ, τυτώ a.o. (Chantraine Form. 115 f.); prob. onomatopoetic like πιππίζω (s. v.), Skt. píppakā f. name of a bird, though such a designation exactly for the woodpecker does not seem very evident. A similar birdname, πίππος or πῖπος is by Ath. 9, 368 f. supposed for trad. ἵππους. -- Cf. πίφιγξ. -- The name may well be Pre-Greek.
