|etymtx=Grammatical information: f.<br />Meaning: [[water-trough]] (with soaked corn?, τ 553; where grain is washed), [[bathtub]] (Hp., com., pap.), [[coffin]] (hell.; cf. Schulze Q. 515 a. Kl. Schr. 380 n.1).<br />Other forms: hell. u. late <b class="b3">πύαλος</b>.<br />Derivatives: <b class="b3">πυέλ-ιον</b> n.

Nomen instr. or loci to <b class="b3">πλύνω</b> (<b class="b3">πλυ-τός</b>, <b class="b3">πλύ-σις</b> a.o.). -- Interpretation by Masing, to be rejected; s. Kretschmer Glotta 6, 308. Cf. Renehan, Class. Rev. N.S. 18 (1968) 133. -- The etymol. from <b class="b3">πλύω</b> is almost certainly wrong; it is almost certainly a Pre-Greek word (though the variation <b class="b3">-ελος</b>\/<b class="b3">-αλος</b> (late) is not very significant.
