Thayer's Greek Lexicon

κυλλός, κυλλή, κυλλόν (akin to κύκλος, κυλίω, Latincircus, curvus, etc.; Curtius, § 81);

1. crooked; of the members of the body (Hippocrates, Aristophanes av. 1379): as distinguished from χωλός, it seems to be injured or disabled in the hands (but doubted by many), Mat 15:30-31 (but here Tr marginal reading brackets κυλλούς and WH read it in marginal reading only).

2. maimed, mutilated (οὕς, Hippocrates, p. 805 (iii., p. 186, Kühn edition)): Mat 18:8; Mar 9:43.
