|etymtx=Grammatical information: f.<br />Meaning: <b class="b2">mix of wax and pitch</b>, to caulk ships, and for on writing tables (Cratin. 204); after H. also = <b class="b3">τρυφερή</b> (adj.; correct?); also name of a big see-animal (Ael., Opp.; after the weak or waxlike flesh?, Strömberg Fischnamen 32,), but the word has nothing to do with <b class="b3">μαλθακός</b>.<br />Other forms: also <b class="b3">μάλθα</b> (Ar.

It is a technical loanword. The word must be Pre-Greek, as <b class="b3">μαλθ-</b> cannot be explined from IE (<b class="b2">*meldʰ-</b>). This also explains the nom. in <b class="b3">-α</b> (Beekes, Pre-Greek, 3, 1). Lat. LW [loanword] <b class="b2">malt(h)a</b> | |||
