Grammatical information: f.Meaning: `door, doorleaf', mostly in plur. `gate' (Il.; cf. Schwyzer-Debrunner 44).Other forms: Ion. θύρηCompounds: Several compp., e. g. θυρᾰ-ωρός (Χ 69), θυρ-ωρός, - ουρός (Sapph.) `doorwaiter' (cf. on ὁράω and Schwyzer 438), as 2. member with thematic anlargement, e. g. πρό-θυρ-ον `place before the gatee, forecourt' (Il.).Derivatives: Diminut.: θύριον (Att.) and θυρίδιον (Gp.), θυρίς f. `window(opening)' (IA) with θυριδεύς `window-frame' (Delos IIIa; cf. the names in - εύς in Chantraine Formation 128), θυριδόω `provide with a window' (pap.) with θυριδωτός (inscr.). Further θυρεός m. `door-stone' (ι 240, 313), name of a long shield = Lat. scutum (hell.; on the formation Chantraine 51; also Schwyzer 468 and Hermann Sprachwiss.

Denomin. verb θυρόω `provide with doors' (Att.) wiht θύρωσις (Epid.), θυρωτός (Babr.). θυραυλέω `sleep before the door' from a compound with αὐλή. *θυράγματα ἀφοδεύματα H. (in wrong position), as from θυράζω.Etymology: From θύρ-δα ἔξω. Άρκάδες H. and θύσθεν for *θύρ-σθεν = θύρα-θεν (Tegea; on the formation Schwyzer 628), perhaps also from θύραζε `out (of the door)' (if for *θύρᾰς δε; Schwyzer 625 w. n. 1) one reconstructs a consonant-stem, IE * dhur-, which is often attested in other languages: Germ., e. g.

The consonant -stem is often replaced by innovations, notably by an i-stem in Lith. nom. pl. dùr-y-s, gen. dùr-i-ų̄, by an o-stem in Goth. daúr n. = NHG Tor etc., by an n-stem in Arm. dur-n, by an ā-stem as in θύραι, also in Arm. gen. dat. abl. pl. dr-a-c̣, instr. dr-a-w-k`. - Beside zero-grade * dhur- full-grade *dhu̯er-, *dhu̯or-, e. g.

Ptol.; BGU 59.13 written κολλώροβον), = κορύνη H.

(in wrong place); Fur. 146 n. 18 suggests that it is a mistake for *καλαυροπο-φορίς. - Aeolic compound καλα-Ϝροψ (Schwyzer 224, Chantraine Gramm. hom. 1, 158), of which the second member reminds ῥόπαλον (s. v.), but which is further unexplained. The comparison with Skt. śalá- ` stick' (s. Bq; cf. on κῆλον) or with κλάω, κλάσαι must be forgotten. - A typical Pre-Greek word, which contains a labialized r, i.e. rʷ: * kalarʷap-; the labial element was anticipated in καλαυροπ-, the element coloured the following a into o; in κολλορ- the preceding a was also coloured to o; the first a was assimilated to the following o, ω; the ω was contracted from αυ; compare for the phenomena on ἄλοξ. (The final syllable will have had -ap- as this was the normal form in Pre-Greek and as the language did not have a phoneme o.)

Beside monosyllabic κλη- (beside καλέ-σαι) Latin has clā- ( clā- mare, clā- rus; beside calā-re). The present καλέ-ω is no doubt an innovation, prob. to καλέσαι (Fraenkel Mélanges Boisacq 1, 367; diff. on καλέω, καλέσαι Specht KZ 59, 85ff.). - (Not cognate are κέλαδος ` noise'.) The α-vowel in καλέ-σαι will go back to a sonantic l̥ ; the same vowel is found in Italic, Lat. calāre ` declare', Umbr. kařetu (\< * kalē- tōd); further the not fully explained OHG, OS halōn `call, fetch' (= calāre), Hitt. kalleš- `call', Skt. uṣā- kal-a- `call' (s. ἠϊκανός).

Fr. 84 non-Att.).Origin: PG [a word of Pre-Greek origin]Etymology: The forms with - νεψ-, - νοψ- may have been dissimilated from - μεψ-, - μοψ-; the pair κυάμος: πύανος is diff. evaluated. After Specht KZ 69, 133 ff. *πύαμος (to IE. * pu-, * peu- `blow, swell') would be the original form, from where both κύαμος and πύανος originated. Brugmann (lastly 4 50) and Güntert Reimwortbildungen 124 f. consider, hardly probable, Πυαν-όψια, πύανος as a mixed form from Κυαν- and Παν-όψια, of which the latter from IE. ḱu̯-, "allegroform" of ḱuu̯- in κύαμος. In gen. κύαμος is considered as a foreign word (Chantraine Formation 133, Schwyzer 494, Krahe Die Antike 15, 181, Kuiper Μνήμης χάριν 1,215 w.n.19). However, κύαμος could also be IE. and be derived from κυέω, s.

Georgacas Dumbarton Oaks Papers 13, 253ff., esp. on λινούδιον, - ούτιον (S. 260ff.).Origin: PG [a word of Pre-Greek origin]Etymology: With λίνον with short vowel agree the Balto-Slavic forms, e.g. Lith. linaĩ pl. `flax, linen', Russ. lën, gen. lьná `id.' Opposite is Lat. līnum with long vowel, from where as loans Celt., e.g. OIr. līn `net' and Alb. li-ri, lį-ni `linen'. The Germ. words too, Goth. lein, ONo. OE OHG līn agree with Lat. līnum and are therefore to be considered as loans. Original identity is however possible, as the cultivation of flax in Middle-Europe is very old. It is however more probable that λίνον and līnum derive from a Mediterranean word, which as name of a new type, perhaps together with new techneques of preparation in Northern and Eastern Eeurope replaced local types and their names (e.g. ONo. hǫrr = OHG haro, OE fleax = OHG flahs, Russ. polotnó = CSl. platьno). In Indo-Iranian the word is (but not the idea) unknown.

Chantraine Form. 287. 3. ποιητός ( προσ-, ἐκ- etc.) `made, produced' (Il.), also `made artificially, not naturally' = `adopted' (Pl., Arist.); Ammann Μνήμης χάριν 1, 19 f. 4. ποιητής m. (IA.), f. - ήτρια (hell.), `creator, producer, poet', esp. of Homer, with - ητικός `creating, poetic', ἡ -ητική ( τέχνη) `the art of poetry' (Pl., Arist.), - ητικεύομαι `to speak poetically etc.' (Eust., sch.). 5. ποιησείω desid. `to wish to do' (Hdn.).Origin: IE [Indo-European]X [probably]Etymology: Decisive for the morphological evaluation of ποιέω are some dialectic aorist-forms: Arg. ποιϜέ̄σανς, ἐποίϜε̄hε, ἐποιϜέ̄θε̄, Boeot. ἐποίϜε̄σε, to which pres. opt. El. [πο]ιϜέοι (beside repeated ποιέοι). Acc. to usual interpretation (lit. in Bq and WP. 1, 510) ποιϜέω is derived from a noun *ποιϜός, which would be found in ἀρτο-ποιός a.o. An independent noun *ποιϜός cannot however be deduced from the 2. member, as the relevant adjectives seems recent and may have been derived from the verbal expressions ( τοξοφόρ-ος: τόξον φέρειν, λογογράφ-ος: λόγον γράφειν etc.). One might think that in the simplex we have a compound of - ποιέω that was made independent (Schwyzer 726 n. 7). -- The general meaning `make, create' may have arisen from the most different concrete special meanings. Nothing forbids to connect a verbal noun *ποι-Ϝός with u̯o-suffix (Schwyzer 472) with a verb `heap, accumulate, fit together', which is preserved in Indo-Iran., e.g. Skt. cinóti, and also has representatives in Slav., e.g. OCS činъ ' τάξις' with činiti `order, form'; IE kʷei- (WP. 1, 509f., Pok. 637f.). It is however obvious to combine, the u̯-element in *ποιϜός with the u̯-element in cinóti: so ποιϜέω from *kʷoi̯-u̯-éi̯ō beside cinóti from *kʷi-n-éu̯-ti approx. as Goth. straujan 'strew' from *strou̯-éi̯ō beside Skt. str̥ṇóti `strew' from *str̥-n-éu̯-ti (s. στόρνυμι) or Goth. - walwjan `revolve' beside Skt. vr̥ṇóti `envelop' and εἰλύω `id.' (*u̯ol-u-éi̯ō: *u̯l-n-éu̯-ti). In such an analysis ποιέω would appear like Goth. straujan, walwjan as an iterative deverbative and one would be liberated from the not quite reliable noun *ποιϜός. Of course the syntheta in - ποιός can then be connected with a primares verb (δρῠ-τόμ-ος: δόρυ τάμνειν). -- On the meaning of ποιέω and other verba faciendi cf. Braun Stud. itfllcl. N.

Forssman Unt. 157f.)Compounds: Compound: θεο-σύλης m. = θεῶν συλήτωρ (Alc. a.o.; Peek Phil. 100, 23), ἱερό-συλος m. `temple-robber' with - έω, - ία (Att.). Compp. συλ-αγωγέω `to carry away as booty' (Ep. Col. a.o.), ἄ-συλος `one who cannot be distrained, invulnerable, safe', τὸ ἄ. `fenced territory, refuge', with ἀσυλ-ία f. `safety from distraint, invulnerability' a.o. (Parm., A., E., Pl., inscr. etc.).Derivatives: συλ-ήτωρ m. `plunderer' (A., Nonn.), f. - ήτειρα (E. in lyr.; Fraenkel Nom. ag. 2, 22f.), - ησις f. `plunder' (S., Pl. a.o.), - ητικός `related to plunder' (hell. inscr.), - ητής (gloss.). -- Besides σῦλα n., σῦλαι f. pl., rarely - ον, -η sg., `captured shipload, booty' (Samos VIa, Locr. Va, Str.), Att. `right of seizure of a ship or its cargo, right of distraint' (D., Arist.). From σῦλα or συλάω (- έω, - εύω) συλεύς m. `plunderer' (GDI 2516, Delph. IIIa; cf. ad loc.), also as mythical PN (Bosshardt 123). On Συλο- and - συλος in PN also Masson Beitr. z. Namenforsch. 16, 166 ff.Origin: XX [etym. unknown]Etymology: Against the most obvious and hard to reject assumption, that συλάω is derived from σῦλα, σῦλαι, speaks a little the later and more rare attestation of the nouns. In any case the Att. meaning `right of seizure' must be secondary and cannot be separated from ἄ-συλος. Whether ἄσυλος from συλάω (beside ἀ-σύλητος [E. a.o.] like ἄτιμος: ἀτίμητος) = `who may not be taken away or be robbed', i.e. `unviolable', to which σῦλα, - αι `right of seizure'? -- No certain etymology. The similarity between σῦλα, - άω and σκῦλα is long since observed (Curtius 169, Buttmann Lexil. 2, 264) and provoked diff. attempts at explanation: variation σκ-: ξ-: σ- (Schwyzer 329, Sánchez Ruipérez Emer. 15, 67 f.); σκῦλον secondary after σκῦτος (Pisani Sprache 5, 143 ff.). After Pisani σῦλα comes with Lat. spolia from Lydian; cf. Σάρδεις: OPers. Sparda-, also Arm. sunk: σπόγγος. On ἐσσύλλα ἀφῄρει κτλ. H. (adduced by P. with earlier investigators) one cannot trust (alphabet. wrong); ὑλᾶται ἐστερήθη, ἀπέθανεν H. (by Kretschmer KZ 31, 422 compared with it), is, if at all correctly handed down, with P. to be kept away.Page in Frisk: 2,819-820Greek-English etymological dictionary (Ελληνικά-Αγγλικά ετυμολογική λεξικό) > συλάω

28 Έρῑνῡς
Έρῑνύ̄ς, -ύοςGrammatical information: f.Meaning: name of a revenging god(dess), orig. perh. the revenging soul of the the murdered man; appellativ. `revenge, curse' (Il.), name of Demeter in Arcadia (Antim., Call., Paus. 8, 25, 6).Other forms: On the length of the υ see LSJ. Εριννυς rejected by LSJDialectal forms: Myc. Erinu.Derivatives: ἐρινυώδης `like the E.' (Plu.); ἐρινύω = θυμῳ̃ χρῆσθαι (Arc., Paus. l. c., EM), cf. Bechtel Dial. 1, 390.Origin: PG [a word of Pre-Greek origin]Etymology: Uncertain; diff. proposals: to ἔρις, ὀρίνω (Solmsen KZ 42, 230 n. 2), to Skt. ríṣyati `be damaged' (Ehrlich Sprachgesch. 35, Prellwitz KZ 47, 187); to Skt. roṣati, ruṣyati `be unpleasant, be angry' with dissimilation υ-υ to ι-υ (Froehde BB 20, 187f.); cf. Kretschmer Glotta 9, 233. Etym. from Sanskrit are improbable - A connection with the mythical stallion Έρίων ( Άρίων, ΌρίϜων; Bechtel Dial. 1, 349; s. also v. Wilamowitz Glaube 1, 399f.) requires further demonstration. - On the Erinyes Nilsson Gr. Rel. 1, 100f. - It is to be expected that the name is Pre-Greek. Cf. Herter, Lexis 3(1954)232 and Arena, Helikon 6 (1966)144f. Neumann, Sprache 32 (1986) 43-51 proposes * eri-snh₁-u- `who provokes struggle', from * sneh₁- as in νεῦρον. This would give, however, * eri-san-u- \> * eri-(h)anu-; this could be avoided by assuming that the laryngeal was lost in the compound. But does `provoke struggles' fit? Heubeck, Glotta 64 (1986), who accepts Neumann, answers no; (in fact he says that such a meaning "zwar nicht restlos geschwunden, aber doch... weitgehend zurückgedrängt worden ist", p. 164. The Erinyes have nothing to do with ἔρις, and the proposal cannot be correct; their primary function is to punish. So there is no good IE etymology and the word will be Pre-Greek. (The ending -ῡς would have to be from - uH-s, i.e. - u-h₂- (there is no suffix - uH-_), but Motionsfem. of this type in Greek are not known). I think that the ending is Pre-Greek. Also the variation ν\/νν may represent a palatal (phoneme) ny (cf. ly in Α᾽χιλ(λ)εύς; for the phenomenon see Beekes, Pre-Greek B 1).Page in Frisk: 1,559Greek-English etymological dictionary (Ελληνικά-Αγγλικά ετυμολογική λεξικό) > Έρῑνῡς

30 ἄζω 1
ἄζω 1.Grammatical information: v.Meaning: `dry, parch' (Il.).Other forms: Mostly intr. ἅζομαι.Derivatives: Hell. ἄζα `dryness, heat' as in σάκος... πεπαλαγμένον ἄζῃ (χ 184) often taken as `mould', which seems unnecessary, cf. ἅζα ἅσβολος κόνις, παλαιότης· κόπρος ἐν ἀγγείῳ ὑπομείνασα H. - Adj. ἀζαλέος `dry' (Il.), cf. ἰσχαλέος, αὑσταλέος (no l\/n-stem with ἀζάνομαι). Unclear ἀζαυτός παλαιότη καὶ κόνις H.Etymology: Problematic is ἄδδαυον· ξηρόν H. A compound with αὖος is improbable; Latte corrects in *ἀδδανον. - Nearest cognate seems Czech. OPol. ozd `dried malt', Czech. Slov. ozditi `to dry malt', idg. * h₂esd-. With velar Gm. words, Goth. azgo, OHG. asca `ashes'. Without the final cons. Lat. āreo `be dry', prob. also āra, OLat. āsa `altar' which is found also in Hitt. h̯ašša- `hearth'. The Latin long ā is explained from a perfect * h₂e-h₂s- \> ās- (Lubotsky, KZ 98 (1985) 1-10). Further Skt. ā́sa- m. `ashes, dust' (which may continue * h₂oso-). S. also Specht Ursprung 201, 219, 232. (Not here ἄσβολος.).

31 ἄκανθα
Grammatical information: f.Meaning: `thorn, thistle', name of different thorny plants (Strömberg Pflanzennamen 17), also `backbone, spine' of fishes, snake, man (Od.). Note ἄκανθος m. `acanthus' (Acanthus mollis).Other forms: ἀκανθίας kind of shark; grasshopper (cf. Strömberg Fischnamen 47, Wortstudien 17); ἀκανθίς name of a bird (`goldfinch' or `linnet', cf. Thompson Birds s. v.), also a plant; ἀκανθυλλίς bird-name (Thompson s. v.), ἀκανθίων `hedgehog', ἀκανθέα a plant, ἀκανθηλή meaning unknown.Origin: PG [a word of Pre-Greek origin]X [probably]Etymology: The basic meaning is `thorn', and from there `backbone, spine'. Usually, ἄκανος `pine-thistle' is considered basic, but a connection with ἄνθος is improbable; a compound *ἄκ-ανθα `Stachelblume' (Kretschmer Einleitung 403 A. 1) is a type of etymology of the past. ἄκαν-θα acc. to Solmsen Wortf. 264. Belardi assumes an Indo-Mediterranean substr. word, connecting Skt. kaṇṭ(h)a-, but such combinations with Sanskrit are mostly incorrect, the Indo-Med. hypothesis quite doubtful. Most probable is a (Greek) substr. element, though in this case there is no positive indication except short -α (Beekes, Pre-Greek). There is no reason to assume a secondary Greek formation, as assumed by DELG. - One connects ἀκαλανθίς = ἀκανθίς (Ar.); Niedermann Glotta 19, 8ff. through metathesis of *ἀκανθαλίς.Page in Frisk: 1,50Greek-English etymological dictionary (Ελληνικά-Αγγλικά ετυμολογική λεξικό) > ἄκανθα

Cf. W. Luther "Wahrheit" und "Lüge". Borna-Leipzig 1935; Frisk GHÅ 41 (1935: 3), 18.Page in Frisk: 1,71Greek-English etymological dictionary (Ελληνικά-Αγγλικά ετυμολογική λεξικό) > ἀληθής

33 ἀστακός
Grammatical information: m.Meaning: 1. `the smooth lobster' (Philyll.), 2. `hollow of the ear' (Poll.).Other forms: ὀστακός (Aristom.; acc. to Ath. 3, 105b Attic)Origin: PG [a word of Pre-Greek origin]Etymology: Generally seen as `with bones', a k-derivation of the n-stem in Skt. asthán-, asthn- (nom. ásthi, s. ὀστέον); so *ostn̥-kó-s. One compared Skt. an-ástha + ka- `without bones', but this is irrelevant: it is a Sanskrit compound with a suffix productive in that language. Nor does MInd. aṭṭhi-taco `lobster' \< * asthi-tvacas- `with bony skin' prove anything for Greek. The etymology dates from the time that a Greek word had to be IE. The formation is unparallelled, the assimilation not very probable (beside ὀστέον). Rather a substr. word with α\/ο-. Fur. 137 etc. - Cf. ὀστέον and ἀστράγαλος, ὄστρακον.Page in Frisk: 1,169Greek-English etymological dictionary (Ελληνικά-Αγγλικά ετυμολογική λεξικό) > ἀστακός

δεσπότης, - ουGrammatical information: m.Meaning: `master (of the house), lord' (Pi.; on its absence in Homer [ δέσποινα Od.] s. Wackernagel Unt. 209 A. 1).Derivatives: δέσποινα `mistress of the house, lady' (Od.); δεσποινικός `in the service of the queen' ( PMasp. 88, 10, VIp); also δεσπότις `id.' (S.), rare δεσπότειρα (S.
