Greek display:    
Headword: *kerdw/
Adler number: kappa,1391
Translated headword: wily one
Vetting Status: high
Translation:
The vixen [is called this] as a nickname. [Formed] as Eidothea [gives] Eido, [and] Hypsipyle [gives] Hypso.
Greek Original:
*kerdw/: u(pokoristikw=s h( a)lw/phc. w(s *ei)doqe/a, *ei)dw/, *(uyipu/lh, *(uyw/.
Notes:
cf. Hesychius kappa2316, and a scholion on Aristophanes, Knights 1068, where the word kerdw/ occurs. It is cognate with ke/rdos "gain, profit", and stems specifically -- in accordance with the principle of foreshortening exemplified in the present entry -- from the adjective kerdale/h; see already kappa 1382.
Hypocoristic feminine names are often formed by shortening the name and ending the nominative with omega (stem -oi-): see Smyth ยง279a (p. 71) at web address 1.
