19 κοίρανος
Grammatical information: m.Meaning: `ruler, commander, lord' (Il.).Compounds: rarely as 2. member, e. g. πολυ-κοίρανος `ruling many' (A. Fr. 238, lyr.) with πολυκοιρανίη `ruling many' (Rhian. 1, 10); but Β 204 = `ruling of many' with the first member as subject; the 2. member is verbal noun to κοιρανέω.Derivatives: κοιρανίδαι pl. `sons of rulers, members of the ruling house' (S. Ant. 940; Fraenkel Nom. ag. 2, 20); κοιρανῃ̃ος and κοιρανικός `belonging to the ruling house' (late poets); κοιρανίη `dynasty' (D. P., APl.; s. above); κοιρανέω `rule' (Il.).Etymology: With κοίρανος agrees (except the middle vowel) OWNo. herjann surname of Odin; given the productivity of the no-suffix, esp. in words of this meaning (Lat. dominus: domus, Goth. Þiudans `king': Þiuda `people' etc.), the word need not be an old inheritance. But the basis is in any case common, i. e. a word for `army, fighting group' with representatives in Germanic, Baltic and Celtic, e. g. Goth. harjis `army', Lith. kãrias `id.', MIr. cuire m. `crowd, group', Gaul. Tri-, Petru-corii people's-namen ("consisting of three, resp. four tribes"), IE. *kori̯os. In Greek too the word has existed, also in proper name like Κοιρό-μαχος, Κοιρατάδας (Solmsen Glotta 1, 76ff.). - Beside IE. *kori̯os there was without i̯o- * kor(o)- in Lith. kãras `war', OPers. kāra- `army, people'. Further details in Pok. 615f., Fraenkel Lit. et. Wb. s. kãr(i)as. - In Greek κοίρανος was replaced by ἄναξ and βασιλεύς; s. vv.Page in Frisk: 1,894Greek-English etymological dictionary (Ελληνικά-Αγγλικά ετυμολογική λεξικό) > κοίρανος
