|etymtx=Grammatical information: f.<br />Meaning: name of [[an insect]], [[cockroach]], [[carrion beetle]] (Arist., Gal., Ael., AP).<br />Other forms: [[τίλφη]] (Luc.).<br />Origin: PG [a word of Pre-Greek origin]<br />Etymology: No etymology; [[τίλφη]] in Luc. can be an artificial Atticism (cf. Schwyzer 319). Form and meaning look a bit like [[σέρφος]] (s. v.). -- The [[τ]]\/[[σ]] is clearly a Pre-Greek variation. Furnée 167 etc. points to Lat. [[delpa]], which may have the same source.
