|etymtx=Grammatical information: m.<br />Meaning: [[locust]] (Ar.).<br />Other forms: Aeol. Boeot. (Str. 13, 1,64) <b class="b3">πόρνοψ</b>, also <b class="b3">κόρνοψ</b> (Str. l.c.), <b class="b3">-οπος</b>. There is also <b class="b3">πρανώ ἀκρίδος εἶδος</b> H. and <b class="b3">κάρνος μεγάλη ἀκρίς</b> H. (Furnée 344, 388).<br />Derivatives: <b class="b3">Παρνόπιος(-πίων</b>) <b class="b3">Ἀπόλλων</b> (Paus., Str.), as defender against locusts, like <b class="b3">Κορνοπίων</b>, <b class="b3">-ωνος</b> as surname of Heracles in Oitaia (Str.); from it the Aeol. month-name <b class="b3">Πορνόπιος</b>, <b class="b3">-πίων</b> (Cyme, Str.). -- <b class="b3">κορνώπιδες κώνωπες</b> H.<br />Origin: PG [a word of Pre-Greek origin]<br />Etymology: Formation like <b class="b3">δρύοψ</b>, <b class="b3">σκάλοψ</b> and other animal-names (Chantraine Form. 259, Schwyzer 426 w. n. 4); further unknown. The form with <b class="b3">κ-</b> may have been dissimilated from <b class="b3">π-</b> (cf. Schwyzer 29 8 f.). Suppositions which must be rejected (from Solmsen, Bally, Sturtevant) in Bq; not better Strömberg Wortstud. 16 f. -- Given the fact that there are more forms it is probable that we are not concerned sith a simple dissimilation; I think the word had a labio-velar of which the labial element could be lost before o (and the o itself is prob. from <b class="b3">α</b> after labio-velar). <b class="b3">-οπ-</b> is a Pre-Greek suffix.
