What it meant

1. ἀγχίλωψ · anchilōps — Beekes

ἀγχίλωψ [f.] ‘swelling which obstructs the lacrymal duct’ (Gal. 19, 438). ΝΑΙ Synonym αἰγίλωψ (Cels.), *ETYM Galen analyzes it as »dyyt and » @y.

2. ἀγχίλωψ · anchilōps — Chantraine

3. ἀγχίλωψ · anchilōps — Frisk

ἀγχίλωψ “Art Geschwulst, die den Tränenkanal versperrt’ (Gal. 19, 438). Nach Galenos von ἄγχε und &y. Strömberg Wortstudien 95f., der ihm zustimmt, erklärt einleuchtend das -Aaus dem synonymen αἰγέλωψ. Vielleicht hat ἀγχίλωψ sogar sein ganzes Hinterglied von αἰγέλωψ bezogen. Im Vorderglied steckt aber vielmehr das Verb ἄγχω ‘zuschnüren’. — [Frisk, s.v. ἀγχίλωψ, p. 47]
