σκίμπους
Ancient Greek edit
Etymology edit
Unknown. Interpreted as *σκιμπέ-πους (*skimpé-pous) and connected with σκίμπτομαι (skímptomai, “to throw, sling”) (itself possibly from a cross of σκήπτω (skḗptō, “to prop”) and χρίμπτω (khrímptō, “to force one's way near”); compare Proto-Germanic *grīpaną). A connection with σκιμβός (skimbós, “lame, crooked”) is semantically unlikely.
