[[hollow]], [[deep]] ??<br />Etymology: From the sometimes threesyllabic [[κόϊλος]] (in Hom. always possible except χ 385, at verse-beginning; Meister HK 50, Chantraine Gramm. hom. 1, 28) follows a basis <b class="b3">*κόϜιλος</b>, which can be connected as <b class="b3">λ-</b>deriv. with <b class="b3">κόοι τὰ χάσματα τῆς γῆς</b>, <b class="b3">καὶ τὰ κοιλώματα</b> H. and Lat. [[cavus]] [[hollow]] from <b class="b2">*kou̯os</b>; beside it MIr. [[cūa]] [[hollow]] < <b class="b2">*ḱou̯-ios</b>. If the connection [[κοῖλος]] = Alb. [[thelë]] [[deep]] (< IE <b class="b2">*ḱou̯ilos</b>) is correct (Pedersen KZ 36, 332), the formation is older than Greek. Cognate [[l-]]derivv. are Arm. [[soyl]] [[cavity]] (< IE. <b class="b2">*ḱeu-lo-</b>) and [[κύλα]]; s. v. More on the formation Benveniste Origines 41f., where a noun in [[-il]] is supposed as basis, and Specht Ursprung 130, who starts from an [[i-]]stem, referring to the hapax <b class="b3">κοιφόν κοῖλον</b> (prob. for [[κυφόν]]). - S. also [[κῶος]], [[κώθων]], [[κύαρ]]; further W.-Hofmann s. [[cavus]].
