|etymtx=Grammatical information: n. pl.<br />Meaning: feast for Dionysos (Sch. Ar. Pl. 1129).<br />Derivatives: <b class="b3">ἀσκωλιάζω</b> (Ar. Pl. 1129), Sch. <b class="b2">hop on greased wineskins at the A.</b>, from where Poll. 9, 121 <b class="b3">ἀσκωλιασμός</b>, elsewhere <b class="b2">hop on one leg; jump up an down with legs held together</b> (Arist.).<br />Origin: XX [etym. unknown]<br />Etymology: <b class="b3">ἀσκώλ-</b> from <b class="b3">ἀσκός</b> with a suffix <b class="b2">-(ō)lo-</b> was considered ( Chantr. Form. 243f., Schwyzer 484; diff. Wackernagel Gött. Nachr. 1902, 140), but given the different meaning the connection with <b class="b3">ἀσκός</b> will be secondary. - Comparing <b class="b3">σκωλοβατίζω</b> <b class="b2">walk upon stilts</b> (Epich.), and <b class="b3">ἀγκωλιάδεν ἅλλεσθαι</b>, <b class="b3">Κρῆτες</b> (AB 1, 327, 5), <b class="b3">ἀγκωλιάζων ἁλλόμενος τῳ̃ ἑτέρῳ ποδί</b> H. Schulze Q. Ep.141 n. 2 assumed <b class="b3">*ἄσκωλος</b> < <b class="b3">*ἄν-σκωλος</b>. S. Latte, Hermes 85, 1957, 385-392. But <b class="b3">σκωλοβατίζω</b> is something different, clearly derived from <b class="b3">σκῶλος</b>. DELG derives the <b class="b3">ἀγκωλ-</b> forms from <b class="b3">ἀνα-</b> and <b class="b3">κῶλον</b> (but if this means 'leg', it gives no good meaning). (Wrong Fur. 241.) Is <b class="b3">χωλός</b> connected?
