Arbenz Die Adj. auf - ιμος 49f.). - 3. καῦσος m. `causus, bilious remittent fever etc.' (Hp., Arist.), from καῦσαι or rather with σο-suffix (Solmsen Wortforsch. 244, Strömberg Wortstudien 87f., Schwyzer 516); from there καυσία `Macedonian hat against the sun', καύσων `id.', also `heat, hot wind etc.' (LXX, NT, medic.; cf. Leumann Sprache 1, 207 n. 13), καυσώδης `burning, hot' (Hp., Thphr.), καυσόομαι, - όω `have causus, burn: heaten' (medic., NT, pap.) with καύσωμα `heating' (Gal.). - 4. καυ(σ)τήρ m. `burner, burning iron' (Pi., Hp.), f. fen. καυστειρῆς adjunct of μάχης (Il.), καμίνου (Nic.), from *καύστειρα (Schwyzer 474, Chantraine Gramm. hom. 1, 192; note the switching accent); καυτήριον `branding iron, brand' (LXX, D.

Origin: IE [Indo-European]X [probably] [595] * keh₂u- `burn'

Etymology: As καίω may stand for *κάϜ-ι̯ω (from where Att. κά̄ω; Schwyzer 265f.), all forms go back on καυ-, κᾰϜ- except ἔ-κη-α for *ἔ-κηϜ-α (often written with false - ει- in κείαντο etc.; Chantraine Gramm. hom. 1, 9; Att. κέαντος with metathesis). In *ἔ-κηϜ-α an old fullgrade root aorist is maintained (Schwyzer 745; prob. not from *ἔ-κηυ-σ-α); the full grade also in ep. κηλέος, κηώδης, and in Delph. κηυα, which shows a PGr. κηϜ- beside κᾰϜ-. - Only Baltic gives a possible connection in Lith. kū̃lės `Brandpilze, Flugbrand, Staubbrand des Getreides', kūlé̇ti `brandig werden', Latv. kũla `old, dry, grass of last year' (cf. Fraenkel Wb. s. v.); IE. zero grade kū- (\< * kuH-) beside fullgr. * keh₂us- in ἔ-κηϜ-α, zero grade *kh₂u̯- in *κάϜ-ι̯ω, καῦ-μα. Of course rather unncertain.

Grammatical information: m.

Meaning: name of several Umbellates (Athamanta Cretensis, Peucedanum Cervaria, Daucus Carota; Hp., Dsc., H.; see Andrews, ClassPhil. 44, 185);

Other forms: Also δαῦκον (Thphr.), δαύκειον (Nic.), δαυκίον (Gp.); also δαῦχος (below), δαυχμός (Nic.), see also on δάφνη.

Derivatives: δαυκίτης ( οἶνος), see Redard Les noms grecs en - της 96.

Origin: PG [a word of Pre-Greek origin]

Etymology: The plants are characterized by their sharp smell and the bitter, burning taste of the root, so that connection with δαίω `kindle, burn' is possible; s. Solmsen IF 26, 106f., Wortf. 118 n. 1, where the scholia to Nic. Th. 94 on δαυχμός (v. l. δαῦκος) are mentioned: Πλούταρχος πλείονα μέν φησι γένη τῆς βοτάνης εἶναι, τὸ δε κοινὸν τῆς δυνάμεως ἰδίωμα δριμὺ καὶ πυρῶδες. But the Daukos-plants will rather have their name from the gummi-like sap, which is taken from certain kinds and which burns with hell flame; cf. δαυχμόν εὔκαυστον ξύλον δάφνης. (Note the form καῦκον in Ps.-Dsc. 2, 139, which was influenced by κάω, καῦσαι.) - Mediterranean origin is quite possible. We shall see under δάφνη that we have to do with one word. Note that δαῦκος and δαῦχος are one word: δαύκου τὸ μέντοι δαὺκου καὶ δαύχου γράφεται, ἐπὶ τινων δε καὶ γλύκου...H. [here we must without a doubt assume an older δαύκου].

Grammatical information: n.

Meaning: `wood, logs (for burning), timber' (h. Merc. 112, Hes. Op. 427, Ion. trag., Call., Cyrene), also `wood for ships' = `ship' (Lacon. in Ar. Lys. 1253, X. HG 1, 1,23, Plu. Alk. 28.).

Other forms: mostly pl. -α,

Compounds: As 1. member in καλο-τύπος ὁ δρυοκολάπτης H., καλο-πέδιλα n. pl. "wooden shoes", kind of foot-fetters (Theoc. 25, 103); καλό-πους, - ποδος m. "wooden foot", i. e. `soemaker's last' (v. l. in Pl. Smp. 191a and Poll. 2, 195; Edict. Diocl.), also καλά-πους (Pl. l. c., Poll. 10, 141; after τετρά-πους?), with the diminutive καλοπόδιον (Gal. 6, 364 [v. l. - απ-], Suid.); as technical expressions καλόπους and καλοπόδιον reached in eastern languages, e. g Arab. qālib, from where Osman. kalyp `form, model' \> NGr. τὸ καλοῦπι `id.', MPers. kalapaδ, NPers. kālbud (Maidhof Glotta 10, 11; Bailey Trans. Phil. Soc. 1933, 49). - Quite doubtful however καλαρ\<ρ\>ύα `canal, water conduit' (Ambracian after sch. Gen. Φ 259), καλαρρυϜαί (cod. - γαί) τάφροι. Άμερίας H., after Schwyzer 438 n. 4 prop. "wooden water conduite" (?); similar καλαρῖνες ὀχετοι `water-pipe']. Λάκωνες H.; cf. ῥινοῦχος `canal' etc., see Kretschmer Glotta 4, 335.

Derivatives: κάλινος `of wood' (Epich., Lyc., A. R., Cyrene); dimin. (?) κάλιον (- ίον?) ξυλάριον, βακτηρίδιον; καλύριον (- ύφιον?) ξυλήφιον H.

Origin: IE [Indo-European]\/PGX

Etymology: To καίω, καῦσαι as `firewood'; cf. synonymous δᾱλός `fire-brand' from δαϜ-ελός ( δαίω), so κᾶλον could represent *κάϜ-ελον (Bq). As however Dor. κᾶλον cannot be derived from it, perh. from *κάϜ-αλον (Schwyzer 248, Lejeune Traité de phon. 234; on - ελο-: - αλο- cf. ἔταλον). However, a pre-form *καϜ-αλ- rather suggests a Pre-Greek form; also the connection with καίω does not seem certain. - From κᾶλα pl. Lat. cāla f. `dry wood, firewood'. - See καίω, and κῆλα.

Meaning: `island' (Il.); also `(flooded) land near a river, alluvial land' ( Tab. Herakl., pap.; NGr. [underit.] nasída; Schwyzer Festschr. Kretschmer 245 ff.. Rohlfs Wb. No. 1457).

Other forms: Dor. νᾱ̃σος (Rhod. νᾶσσος SGDI4123,4; I^a).

Compounds: Some compp., e.g. νησο-φύλαξ `island-guardian' (D. S.), νησί-αρχος, - άρχης `island-governor' (Antiph. Com., hell. inscr. a.o.), after ταξί-, πολί-αρχος a.o.; not from νησίς or νησίον; χερσό-νησος, Att. χερρό-, Dor. - νασος f. `peninsula'; on περί-νησον s. v.

Derivatives: 1. Diminutives: νησίς f. (Hdt., Th., Plb.), νησίδιον (Th., Arist., Str.), νησίον (Str.), νησύδριον (X., Isoc.). -- 2. Other nouns: νησιώτης, Dor. νασιώτας, f. - τις `inhabitant of an island, living on an island' (Pi., Hdt., A.), after ἰδιώτης, στρατιώτης a.o. (Schwyzer 500, Chantraine Form. 311; cf. also Redard 9 w. n. 33); from it νησιωτικός `typical of an island-inhabitant' (Hdt., Th., Ar., E.), also connected with νῆσος (cf. Chantraine Études 118, 123 a. 125); νησίτης m. `id.' (St. Byz.), f. νασῖτις `forming an island' (AP); cf. Redard 23 a. 108f.; νησαῖος `islandish' (E., Arat.; after λιμναῖος etc.); Νησιάδεια n. pl. `island-feast', - ειον sg. name of a fund (Delos III^a), with - ι- as in νησί-αρχος a.o. -- 3. Verbs: νησίζω (Plb.), - ιάζω (Str., Ph.) `form an island'; νησεύομαι `form alluvial deposits' (EM25, 48).

Origin: PG [a word of Pre-Greek origin]

Etymology: Unexplained. Since Curtius 319 mostly taken as "the swimmer" to νή-χ-ω, Lat. nā-re etc. with diff. interpretation of the formation: from *νη-κιο-ς (Curtius); thematic transformation of an s-stem * snā-t(e)s- or * snā-dh(e)s- (Brugmann, e.g. Grundr.² II: 1, 541); σο-suffix as in καῦσος a.o. (Solmsen Wortforsch. 244), which stand however beside living aorists ( καῦσαι etc.). -- Not with Pisani Glotta 26, 276f. (as before Bopp and Weber Ind. Streifen 3,39) as `promotory' = Lat. nāsus `nose'; s. Curtius l.c. and W. Hofmann s. nāsum. As the IE words for `island' vary from language to language, we have probably an Aegean loanword (Ernout-Meillet, who want to connect the also unclear Lat. insula; thus Skok Glotta 25, 217ff; against this W. Hofmann s.v.) - For a Pre-Greek loan also Fur. 387, who points to the variation between single σ and geminate. Meier-Brügger follows Rix on νῆσσα in assuming *snākh-i̯o-.
