parvus om. f


Translation:

Skilax is Greek for Latin catulus {"puppy"}, canis parvus {"little dog"}.


Commentary:

Greek σκύλαξ /skýlax/ means "young dog" or "young of other animals, whelp".

The word has undergone a late Greek sound change υ > ι {/y/ > /i/}, resulting in /skílax/, the form Simon is portraying.
