{{etym
|etymtx=Grammatical information: m. pl.<br />Meaning: <b class="b2">legs and feet of a sheep-skin</b>, generally [[offal]] (Ar. V. 672 only).<br />Other forms: Cf. <b class="b3">ἀργίλοφοι· λαπάραι κωδίων</b> [read: <b class="b3">κῳδίων</b> [[sheepskin]]]<b class="b3">· οἱ δε πρωκτόν</b>. <b class="b3">καὶ μηλωταί</b> (sheepskin) H.<br />Dialectal forms: Acc. to the sch. and AB 8 Attic for <b class="b3">ποδεῶνες</b> <b class="b2">ragged ends of the skins of animals</b>.<br />Origin: PG [a word of Pre-Greek origin]X [probably]<br />Etymology: Derivation from <b class="b3">ἀργός</b> (but a form in <b class="b3">-ε-</b> is then impossible) and <b class="b3">λόφος</b> "kann jedenfalls unmöglich richtig sein" (Frisk). One is inclined to consider it as a momentary creation of Aristophanes, but how could his audience then have understood him? Rather simply a word that we do not know. Fur. 358 adduces the gloss with <b class="b3">-ι-</b>, which prob. demonstrates a substr. origin. He calls the gloss "völlig unklar", but it is clearly the useless parts of a sheep(skin) (also the meanings [[anus]] or <b class="b2">membrum virile</b> (for <b class="b3">ποδεών</b>)). A Pre-Gr. word seems probable (e.g. <b class="b2">*arg-aly-ap-</b> or <b class="b2">-apʷ-</b>?).
