The Reflexes of Syllabic Liquids in Ancient Greek: Linguistic Prehistory of the Greek Dialects and Homeric KunstspracheLucienvan BeekBrill2022πλάξanything flat and broad
nounneuterja-stempiece of meatside of bacon; flitchSeemingly a collective noun derived from *flekkaz (‘spot; mark; blemish’), but the semantics do not quite fit. A better fit would be a connection with *flahaną (‘to skin, flay’) and *flaiski (‘meat, flesh’). Van Beek 2022 derives a root *plek- uniting *flahaną with Ancient Greek πλάξ (pláx, ‘anything flat and broad’) that could form the basis for these related terms. The geminate -kk- could come from a Kluge’s Law derivation, *plek-nó-s or as an “expressive” formation (for more, see Lühr 1988)), creating an original homonym of *flekkaz which was then reformulated as a collective noun.
