16 ἐλθεῖν
Grammatical information: v.Meaning: `come, go'.Dialectal forms: Dor. etc. ἐνθεῖν, s. v.Origin: XX [etym. unknown]Etymology: Because of their semantic and functional identitity ἤλυθον and ἦλθον can hardly be separated from each other. As ἤλυθον is limited to the epic and lyrics and has an acceptable IE etymology, it is generally regarded as the original form. In this view it seems best to take, with Johansson IF 8, 182, ἦλθον as a mix of ἤλυθον and ἦνθον (but see below). Thus Wackernagel Dehnungsgesetz 3 (= Kl. Schr. 2, 899) proposes to take ἦλθον as a reformation of ἤλυθον after *ἦρθον (to ἔρχομαι, s. v.). But Schulze Jagić-Festschrift 343 n. 1 (= Kl. Schr. 75 n. 1) thinks that ἦλθον arose from ἤλυθον as the υ-vowel was `absorbed' by the velar λ, a theory which is difficult to accept. Szemerényi, Syncope 3, takes ἐλθεῖν as syncope. - ἐνθεῖν is regarded by DELG as a dialectal development. - The word has also been connected with Skt. ádhvan- `road', Av. aδβan- (*h₁n̥dh-u̯en-).Page in Frisk: 1,494Greek-English etymological dictionary (Ελληνικά-Αγγλικά ετυμολογική λεξικό) > ἐλθεῖν
