13 ῥάβδος
Grammatical information: f.Meaning: `twig, rod, staff, streak, groove' (Il.).Compounds: Compp., e.g. ῥαβδ-οῦχος m. `staff-bearer' as name of an official (Ar., Th., hell.), πολύ-ρραβδος `having many streaks' (Arist.).Derivatives: 1. Dimin. ῥαβδ-ίον n. (Arist., Thphr.); 2. ῥαβδ-ωτός `having rods, streaks, grooves' (X., Arist.), - ωμα H. as explanation of σκυτάλια; - ωσις f. `cannelure' (Att. inscr. end Va; Kretschmer Glotta 14, 230, Holt Les noms d'action en - σις 152f.); 3. Denomin.: a) ῥαβδ-ίζω `to beat with a rod, to thresh' (com., Thphr.) with - ισμός m. `treshing', - ιστήρ m. `thresher' (pap.); b) - εύομαι `to fish with a rod' (Arist.); c) - όομαι `to have streaks' (Lyd.).Origin: PG [a word of Pre-Greek origin]Etymology: Perh. cognate with ῥάμνος, ῥαπίς. A suffixal element δο- can, except in a few nouns indicating sounds (e.g. κέλαδος), only be found in isolated, etymolog. mostly unclear words (Schwyzer 508 f., Chantraine Form. 359 f.); but note the old, in meaning close word κλάδος; cf. Specht Ursprung 230 with motley material. A basis *ῥάβ-ι̯ος, by Bq given as possible, is defended by Haas Μνήμης χάριν 1, 132. Except for the - δ-, ῥάβ-δ-ος can be compared with Lith. vir̃bas `twig, spigs, rod' and Russ. vérba (OCS vrъba) `willow' (IE *u̯r̥b-). Beside it with full grade Lat. verbera pl. `(rods for) punishment', verbēnae pl. `the twigs of the laurel etc.' -- Further forms w. lit. in W.-Hofmann, Fraenkel and Vasmer s.vv.; also WP. 1, 275 and Pok. 1153. -- We can be certain that the word is Pre-Greek (not in Furnée).Page in Frisk: 2,636-637Greek-English etymological dictionary (Ελληνικά-Αγγλικά ετυμολογική λεξικό) > ῥάβδος
