κάχληξ
τί δ' ἢν ῥαφανιδωθῇ πιθόμενός σοι τέφρᾳ τε τιλθῇ, ἕξει τινὰ γνώμην λέγειν τὸ μὴ εὐρύπρωκτος εἶναι; → What if he should have a radish shoved up his ass because he trusted you and then have hot ashes rip off his hair? What argument will he be able to offer to prevent himself from having a gaping-anus | but suppose he trusts in your advice and gets a radish rammed right up his arse, and his pubic hairs are burned with red-hot cinders. Will he have some reasoned argument to demonstrate he's not a loose-arsed bugger

Grammatical information: m.
Meaning: small stones, gravel in a riverbed, also coll. (Th., Str., J.).
Other forms: κόχλαξ, -ακος (LXX)
Origin: PG [a word of Pre-Greek origin]
Etymology: Formation in -ηξ as τράπηξ, νάρθηξ a. o. (cf. Björck Alpha impurum 261f.); The word has been connected (Zupitza Die german. Gutturale 207f.) with the Germ. word for hail, OHG hagal m., ONord. hagl n. etc. - After Güntert Labyrinth 28 n. 1 κάχληξ together with Lat. calx would have been taken from Aegaean. For foreign origin also Porzig ZII 5, 269f. The vowel-alternation points to a Pre-Greek word.
Middle Liddell
κάχληξ, ηκος, ὁ,
a pebble in the beds of rivers:—collectively, gravel, shingle, Thuc. [Prob. akin to χάλιξ, Lat. calx, calculus.]
Frisk Etymology German

Etymology: Bildung auf -ηξ wie τράπηξ, νάρθηξ u. a. (vgl. Björck Alpha impurum 261f.); ein angenommenes Grundwort *κάχλος ist von Zupitza Die german. Gutturale 207f. mit dem germ. Wort für Hagel, ahd. hagal m., anord. hagl n. usw. gleichgesetzt worden. — Nach Güntert Labyrinth 28 A. 1 wäre κάχληξ samt lat. calx aus dem Ägäischen entlehnt. Für fremden Ursprung auch Porzig ZII 5, 269f.
