Classical and Koine Terms for "Spoon"
Posted: January 20th, 2016, 6:08 pm
I am trying to find a Classical and Koine word for 'spoon' to use around the house that comes as close as possible to the modern English usage. Here is the list that I have assembled so far with my understanding of each word. Below that are some additional questions that I have about them.
γλωσσάριον: a little tongue-shaped object (that may or may not be used for dipping)?
κοχλιάριον: A later Greek word for ‘spoon’ that can also be used for measurements (spoonful, etc.).
μύστρον: spoon
μυστίλη: a piece of bread fashioned into and used as a spoon?
συντορυνάω: to stir with a spoon
τρυηλίς: a ladle or large spoon for dipping and/or stirring?
Is it safe to say κοχλιάριον = Koine and λίστριον = Attic?
Do any of you know if there is a difference between μύστρον, κοχλιάριον, or λίστριον?
Are the words συντορυνάω and τρυηλίς morphologically related?
Any advice, feedback, or additional information about any of it would be greatly appreciated, including modern Greek if there happens to be noticeable overlap.
