| comment | Ionic word for 'lizard' (common being σαύρα), perhaps from κρόκη 'pebbles' + δρῖλος 'worm]), because crocodiles like resting on flat stones. Typologically compare Sanskrit kṛkalāsa (कृकलास) 'lizard, chameleon', said to be composed of the words for 'pebble' and 'sit'. Boisacq, Émile (1916) “κροκόδιλος”, in Dictionnaire étymologique de la langue grecque (in French), Heidelberg: Carl Winter, page 520 https://archive.org/stream/dictionnairety00bois#page/520 |
