1 Κνίφων
Grammatical information: PN (Va, Meisterhans3 74).Other forms: younger Γνίφων m. prop. `Niggard'Origin: PG [a word of Pre-Greek origin]Etymology: Popular, expressive formation, cf. (attested late) κνιπός, σκνιπός, σκνιφός `niggard, mean' to κνίψ etc. (s. v.); Γνίφων has like γνάπτω a secondary anlaut-weakening (diff. Schwyzer 414). For Γνίφων it is easy to find agreeing words, e. g. Lith. gnýbu, MLG knīpen `kneifen', ONo. knīfr `knife' (Pok. 370f.). Hdn. Gr. 2, 949 cites without explanation κνίφω, - ιάω. - The variants cited rather point to a Pre-Greek word.Page in Frisk: 1,885Greek-English etymological dictionary (Ελληνικά-Αγγλικά ετυμολογική λεξικό) > Κνίφων

Ap.); 14. enlarged πνιγ-ίζω `to choke, to strangle' (AP; influenced by πυγ-ίζω).Origin: PG [a word of Pre-Greek origin]X [probably]Etymology: Popular expressive verb without certain connection; one has thought of a cross of several words. The anlaut reminds of πνέω, the auslaut of φρύγω, φώγω, the vowel of κνίψ a. cogn., also of MLG knīpen (s. Κνίφων), but there is no basis for a certain decision. The comparison with some Germ. words for `snuffle', e.g. OHG fnaskazzen (Fick BB 7, 95 etc.; s. Bq and WP. 2, 85), is both semantically and especially phonetically and formally (πνῑγ- from *pnezg- [with reduced vowel]??; but fnaskazzen to OWNo. fnasa) quite unsatisfactory. -- The short in πνῐγ-ῆναι etc. can be analogal. -- So no etym.; is the word Pre-Greek?Page in Frisk: 2,567-568Greek-English etymological dictionary (Ελληνικά-Αγγλικά ετυμολογική λεξικό) > πνί̄γω
