Default Macedonian words from epigraphy

I opened this thread, so we can post any new attested macedonian words found on epigraphical monuments.

In the following inscription from Aiani, 450BC two new words are revealed:

Αρκά = Slow = Attic Αργά
Ποσέρια = cups = Attic Ποτήρια

The word (and epithet of Hercules) Κυναγίδας (Kynagidas) is supposed to be a Macedonian equivalent to Doric Κυναγος (Kynigos) and Attic Κυνηγός (Kynegos).

While having a look on J.T Hookers book "Linear B: An Introduction" I found its Mycenaean root in dotike form which is κυναγέται (kynaketai).

Compare Kynaketai to the Macedonian equivalent Kynagedai (below) and it is obvious that the Macedonian word derived directly from the proto-Greek word and has the same form in dotike.

Continuing on Kynagidas...

We know that Spartans and other Dorians said "Kynagos" but there's one inscription from Sparta that Kynageta (a female hunter) is attested.

That means that Kynagitas could be used as well in Laconia.
