  • 73 πέλμα

    Grammatical information: n.
    Meaning: `sole of the foot or shoe' (Hippon., Hp., LXX, hell.).
    Compounds: As 2. member in βαθύ-, δί-, μονό-πελμος (AP, Edict. Diocl.).
    Derivatives: From it κατα-πελματόομαι `to be soled' (LXX), πελματίζω `to sole' (pap. VIp), `to sleek the soles' (Anon. on EM 659, 43).
    Origin: IE [Indo-European]X [probably] [804] * pel- `hide'
    Etymology: Formation like δέρμα and other full-grade verbal nouns with μα-suffix, with a westgerm. word for `skin, pellicle' mainly formally identical: OS filmen, OFris. filmene, OS. æger-felma `pellicle of an egg'. Beside it, in suffix quite deviating, other words for `skin etc' like Lat. pellis (s. πελλο-φόρος `pellarius' Gloss.), Germ., e.g. OHG fel, - lles, all prob. with n-suffix as several ablauting Slav. and Balt. words, e.g. Russ. plená, Lith. plėnė̃. Different again e.g. Lith. plėvė̃ `fine thin skin'. From Greek one might also consider ἐρυσί-πελας n. `name of a skin-disease' (s. v.); so πέλμα: πέλας like δέρμα: δέρας? A corresponding primary verb is however inknown. -- Further, partly unselected and uncertain material w. lit. in WP. 2, 58f., Pok. 803f., W.-Hofmann s. pellis; morpholog. speculations in Specht Ursprung 141 a. 182. Cf. πέλτη, also ἐπίπλοον and σπολάς.

    Other forms: second. - νᾰ(LXX).
    Compounds: Some compp., e.g. πτερνο-κοπίς f. "heel-pusher", nickname (middl. a. new com.; Wackernagel Unt. 196); *ὑπό-πτερνος `under the heel' in ὑποπτερν-ίς, - ίδος f. `base, underlay' (Ph. a. Hero Bel.).
    Derivatives: πτερν-ίς, - ίδος f. `foot of a bowl' (middl. com.), - ίζω `to hit with the heel, trip one up, to supplant someone out of his position, to provide a shoe with a new heel' (LXX, Com. Adesp.) with - ιστής m. (Ph.), - ισμός m. (LXX). -- On itself stands, with unclear meaning development, πτέρνιξ, - ῐκος m. `main stem of a cactus' (Arist.), beside which τέρνακα τῆς κάκτου τοῦ φυτοῦ καυλόν H., s.v.
    Origin: IE [Indo-European] [823] *tpersnā `heel'
    Etymology: Old designation of the heel also used of the haunch (Lat.) or the loin (Hitt.): Lat. perna, Germ., e.g. Goth. fairzna f., Hitt. paršina-(= paršna-; with paršnāi- `squat down'), IE * persnā. Beside it in Indo-Iran. with secondary vowellength (soc. vr̥ddhiformation; Benveniste BSL 50, 41 f.) Skt. pā́rṣṇi- f., Av. pāšna- n. `heel'. Initial πτ-, then, is unoriginal and unxplained as in πτίσσω, πτόλεμος and πτόλις (s. vv. w. lit.); it will represent an original * tpersn-. WP. 2, 50f., Pok. 823, W.-Hofmann s. perna, Mayrhofer s. pā́rṣniḥ; older lit. in Bq. -- On late πτέρνα `ham' s. πέρνα.
