κόμβος

Ancient Greek edit

The old comparisons with Lithuanian kabìnti (“to hang, hook on”), Proto-Slavic *skobà (“bracket”) and, within Greek, σκαμβός (skambós, “crooked”) are quite dubious. The form κομποθηλεία (kompothēleía) clearly shows that there was a variant with -π-, which points to Pre-Greek origin.
