|etymtx=Grammatical information: n. pl.<br />Meaning: <b class="b2">panniers on both sides of the pack saddle</b> (Ar., Artem.), also [[curved pieces of wood at the back of a ship]], which were used when a tent was drawn up' (H.);<br />Derivatives: <b class="b3">-ιον</b> acc. sg. in building [[rafters]] (IG 22, 463, 73); ([[ὄνος]]) [[κανθήλιος]] [[pack-ass]] (Pl., Kom., X.); [[κανθηλικός]] <b class="b2">belonging to the pack-basket or pack-ass</b> (pap.). - Beside it <b class="b3">κανθίαι σπυρίδες</b> H., [[κάνθων]] = <b class="b3">ὄνος κανθήλιος</b> (Ar., AP), <b class="b3">κανθίς ὀνίς</b> (dung of an ass) H.<br />Origin: PG [a word of Pre-Greek origin]<br />Etymology: Popular words, of which the relations to each other and to other similar formations through their technical, to us often ununderstandable meaning remain unclear or doubtfull. With [[κανθήλια]] compare [[κειμήλια]], [[γαμήλιος]]; note [[τράχηλος]], [[γαμφηλαί]] and other words with <b class="b3">ηλ-</b>suffix. [[κανθίαι]] could be another derivation without [[λ]]. ([[ὄνος]]) [[κανθήλιος]] [[ass]] is secondary to [[κανθήλια]] [[pack-baskets]] (Debrunner IF 54, 55); [[κάνθων]] could be a short form (like Lat. [[cabō]] to [[caballus]]) (Bq 406 n. 2, W.-Hofmann s. [[caballus]]); thus [[κανθίς]] (diff. Nehring Sprache 1, 166). - From [[κανθήλια]], <b class="b3">-ιος</b> Lat. <b class="b2">cant(h)ērius</b> [[castrated stallion]], also <b class="b2">Jochgeländer [??], rafters</b> (with diff. suffix) cannot be separated. Further unclear; IE. etymologies were rightly rejected by W.-Hofmann s. <b class="b2">cant(h)ērius</b>. Acc.to Deroy Glotta 35, 190f. Mediterranean word. - Fur. 130 connects [[ἀνθήλιον]] (Charax) with [[κ]]/zero, and assumes Pre-Greek origin; 290 he connects <b class="b3">κανθίαι σπυρίδες</b> with <b class="b3">κάθος σπυρίς</b>. - Cf. [[κάνθαρος]], [[κανθός]] und [[κανθύλη]].
