1 μῆκος
Grammatical information: n.Meaning: `length' (Od.).Dialectal forms: Dor. μᾶκος (Archyt.)Compounds: Often as 2. member, e.g. περι-μήκης, Dor. - μάκης `very long, very high' (Il), with expressive enlargement περιμήκ-ετος `id.' (Hom., Arat.), after πάχετος, ἀριδείκετος, ἀμαιμάκετος a. o. (Schwyzer 501, Seiler Steigerungsformen 75).Derivatives: Beside μῆκος the sup. μήκιστος, Dor. μάκιστος `longest, highest, greatest' (Il.) with Μηκιστεύς PN (Il.; Boßhardt 93 f.) beside the comp. μάσσων, μᾶσσον (θ 203 etc.; after ἆσσον); to μακρός (s.v.) after ἐλάσσων, πάσσων, θάσσων; besides the secondary μακρό- τατος, - τερος. -- Old denominative μηκύνω, Dor. μακύνω, rarely w. prefix, e.g. ἀπο-, ἐπι-, `lengten, stretch out' (Pi., IA.) with the rare a. late prosodic terms μήκ-υνσις (Sch.), - υσμός (Eust.) `lengthening', - υντικός `which can be lengthened' (A. D.). Further derivations, also rare a. late: μηκεδανός `long' (AP, Nonn.), for μακεδνός after ἠπεδανός a. o. (Risch $38, Specht Ursprung 199); μηκ-ικός `regarding the length' (Procl.), - όθεν `from afar' (Aesop., Paul. Aeg.), - ότης f. `length' (Gal.).Origin: IE [Indo-European] [699] *meh₂ḱ-os, mh₂ḱros `long, length'.Etymology: Over against μῆκος stands with short vowel Av. masah- n. `length, greatness'; thus against μήκιστος Av. masišta-, OP maθ išta- (like comp. masyå, pos. mas-). Also elsewhere we find short vowels, not only in inherited and with the s-stem alternating r-stem μακρός (s. v.), but also in Lat. maciēs `leanness', maceō `be lean' and in Hitt. mak-l-ant- `lean'. As full grade formation, however, μῆκος agrees with the great majority of old s-stems (s. e.g. Schwyzer 511 f.). -- WP. 2, 223- Pok. 699- W.-Hofmann s. macer ; on μήκιστος, μάσσων Schwyzer 538, Seiler Steigerungsformen 74ff. a. 21 f. So for μῆκος we posit * meh₂k-, but this does not explain Av. masah-, and μακρός only if mh₂ḱ-ro- would give μακρο-; cf. on μέτρον.Page in Frisk: 2,224-225Greek-English etymological dictionary (Ελληνικά-Αγγλικά ετυμολογική λεξικό) > μῆκος

2 μακεδνός
Grammatical information: adj.Meaning: `tall, taper', of trees etc. (η 106, Nic., Lyc.); also as name of a people cognate with the Dorians (Hdt.).Derivatives: Also PN Μακεδόνες pl. m. `Macedonians', sg. - ών (IA.) wiht Μακεδον-ία, - ίη, - ικός `Macedonia, -nian' (IA.), also ἡ Μακεδον-ίς (Hdt.), - ῖτις (Ael.), i.e. γῆ, - ισσα `Macedonian woman' (Stratt.); μακεδονίζω `be pro-Macedonian' (Plb., Plu.). With long medial vowel Μακηδών (Hes. Fr. 5, 2, Kall.), - δονία, - ίη (hell. poet.). Beside Μακε-δόν-ες the form μακε-δν-ός seems to show ablaut, zero grade in the suffix, which is also seen (without variant - δόν-) also in γοε-δν-ός a. o. (Solmsen Wortforsch. 46). A suffixal, mostly primary - δόν- is at home in animal-names, some appellatives as well as in nom. actionis a. o. (Chantraine Form. 360ff., Schwyzer 529 f.). Not cognate with μακ-ρός, μῆκ-ος; cf. Specht Ursprung 199 u. 345. A by-form is Μακέτης (Gell.), f. - τις (Str., AP) and - τία, τη (AP), - τᾰ (pap.; Mayser 1: 3, 24); cf. οἰκέτης etc.; s. Schwyzer 498 n. 13, Krahe ZONF 11, 90. -Origin: PG [a word of Pre-Greek origin]Etymology: After Fick BB 26, 242 the Μακεδόνες were prop. "Highlanders" (beside Μακέτα *'Highland'). New, very daring and hypothetical interpretation by Pisani Arch. glottol. it. 33, 72: from *Μακι-κεδόνες "of who the Earth is high", from μακ-ι- (: μακ-ρός) and a Maced. word agreeing with χθών (s.v.); the second member is more than doubtful; the whole must be rejected. Doubts on the Greek origin of Μακεδόνες by Krahe Glotta 17, 159. -- Cf. μηκεδανός to μῆκος. Fur. does not discuss the forms. The name seems rather non-IE, so Pre-Greek; cf. Λακεδαίμων (cf. Fick, Vorgr. Ortsnamen 90). An analysis μακε-δνος is impossible in an IE word; also the form with τ points to Pre-Greek. The meaning of the adj. strongly suggests that it is cognate with μακρός, but this can hardly be accounted for in IE morphology.Page in Frisk: 2,163Greek-English etymological dictionary (Ελληνικά-Αγγλικά ετυμολογική λεξικό) > μακεδνός
