Thracian-Chimos-versus-Turkic-Kimiz

 

Kımız - Kymis - Mare Milk - Turkish alcoholic beverage

*

In his book tells Wilhelm Tomaschek about a substance used to make love drink. The Thessalian women made a love drink for the their men. Its name is of Thracian origin.

Its name is χήμος (CHIMOS).

I couldn't find in www further information.

Modern day Greek word χῡμός • (khūmós) means simply the juice. 

It has etymological difficulties acc. to Wiktionary:

χῡμός • (khūmós) m (genitive χῡμοῦ); second declension

1. juice of plants
2. animal juices, humors synonym ▲

   Synonym: χυλός (khulós)

3. flavour, savour 

Animal Juices, humors (Körperflüssigkeiten auf Deutsch), etc.

We find a derivation of that Greek word in Latin:

It means "the fluid of the Stomach".

I can not speak Greek but at the end I understand it like that:

χήμος is a kind juice, with a Thracian background and the women used it to make a love drink.

Love drink?

Yes. Love drink to animate the stressed men who should make love with the women?

It should have been an alcoholic drink. 

Or am I wrong?

There is an other alcoholic beverage I know that is made of "the juice of animal". 

Turkic KIMIZ / KYMIS is an alcoholic beverage that is made of mare milk. It is still being drunk in Central Asia and modern Türkiye. 

I have written about it already on this blog!

The name and the meaning of both drinks are very similar to each other.

Don't you think?
