Hesychius sigma1015, but the headword (here present indicative middle, third person singular) is not attested elsewhere in any form. LSJ connect the verb with the word
ski/ndaros which they define as "an indecent gesture," and which
Hesychius (sigma1013) and others define as "arousal in the night for sexual reasons" vel sim., but also as either
prosku/nhma ('kow-towing',
Hesychius sigma1012) or
proski/nhma ('sexual aggression',
Photius sigma335 Theodoridis). LSJ also offer two other possible connections for the word:
skinqari/zein, defined in
Pollux 9.126,
Hesychius sigma1014, et al. as thwacking someone's nostril with one's middle finger; and
skindareu/esqai, defined by
Hesychius sigma1009 as
kakosxoleu/esqai, daktuli/zesqai, skimali/zesqai ('to play dirty tricks on, to give the finger to, to cornhole'; on the last of these terms see
sigma 606). Other words that are possibly related are
skinda/rion, apparently the name of a fish at
Anaxandrides fr. 27 Kock (now 28 K.-A.), and
ski/nqos, a word of uncertain sense applied at
Theophrastus,
Enquiry into Plants 4.6.9, to people who, along with 'divers' are cited as sources of information about seaside flora. 'Skintharos' is also the name of a character in Lucian,
True Stories (1.36 etc.).
