[edit]Etymology
[edit]Formation like βαλβίς (balbís), κηλίς (kēlís), κνημίς (knēmís) and κρηπίς (krēpís). Traditionally compared with Lithuanian šókti (“to jump, dance”), as if from Proto-Indo-European *ḱeh₂k-. The gloss καγκύλας (kankúlas, “oak-galls”) is compared with Lithuanian šankùs (“nimble”), but this cannot be connected here if the root was *ḱeh₂k-. At any rate the connection with the Lithuanian word must be abandoned, and the word is Pre-Greek, because of the prenasalization in καγκύλας (kankúlas).
