With the anlaut and auslaut cf. e.g. <b class="b3">ἀσπάλαξ</b> beside <b class="b3">σπάλαξ</b> (Chantraine Form. 378); <b class="b3">ἀσκαλώπας</b> (<b class="b3">-πᾶς</b>?) like <b class="b3">κελαινώπας</b> (S. in lyr.), <b class="b3">βύας</b>, <b class="b3">ἀτταγᾶς</b>; the stemvowel after <b class="b3">σκάλλω</b>. -- Furnée 344 identifies the word with <b class="b3">ἀσκαλωπ-</b> and concludes that it was Pre-Greek. Anyhow the word looks Pre-Greek.
