8 μύω
Grammatical information: v.Meaning: `close, be shut', esp. of the eyes, `shut the eyes, abate', also (esp. with κατα-) trans. `shut' ( ὀφθαλμούς etc.) (S. Fr. 774, Call., Nic.).Other forms: aor. μῠ́σαι (Ω 637; cf. below), late. μῦσαι (AP), fut. μῠ́σ-ω (Lyc. 988), perf. μέμῡκα (Ω 420).Compounds: Also with prefix, esp. ἐπι-, κατα-, συν-. As 1. element in μύ-ωψ, them. elarged - ωπός "with closing eyes", i.e. `near-sighted' (cf. Sommer Nominalkomp. 9 n. 2).Derivatives: 1. Adv. in - τί with α priv.: ἀ-μυσ-τί `without closing (the lips), at one draught' (Hp., Pherecr.), from where ἄμυστις f. `drinking at one draught' (Anacr., Epich., E.) with ἀμυστίζω `empty the cup at one draught' (E., Plu.); cf. Schwyzer 623 w. n. 10. -- 2. ( σύμ-, κατά-)μύσις f. `the closing, go together' (Hp., Thphr., Plu.). -- 3. μύστης m. prob. prop. "who shuts his eyes", `the initiated (in the Eleusinian mysteries)' (Heraclit., Ar., E.) in opposition to the ἐπόπτης "the observer", wo reached the highest degree; f. μύστις name of comedies of Antiph. and Philem., LXX; with μυστικός `belonging to the mystai (mysteries), secret' (IA.; Chantraine Études 116, 123, 125), μυστήριον, usu. pl. - ια `secret service' (IA.) with μυστηρ-ιώδης, - ικός etc.; cf. Fraenkel Nom. ag. 1, 222 f. -- Beside μύω stands μυέω, mostly pass. μυέομαι, aor. μυηθῆναι, μυῆσαι, fut. μυηθήσομαι, perf. μεμύημαι, rarely with ἐν-, συν-, προ-, prob. prop. "have one's eyes closed" (cf. μύστης), `be initiated', with secondarily the act. `initiate' (IA.). From where μύησις f. `initiation' (hell., inscr., Ph.). -- On itself stands μυάω `shut the lips (the eyes?)' (only Ar. Lys. 126 τί μοι μυᾱ̃τε; by H. explained with σκαρδαμύττετε), also μοιμυάω (H., Phot.); constucted from the Ar.-place?; but cf. μοιμύλλω s. μύλλω.Etymology: The perfect μέμῡκα agrees with the also intransitive ἕστηκα, βέβηκα etc.; the shortvowel aor. μῠ́σαι (for which secondarily μῦσαι to μύω) may like φθάσαι a.o. have been transformed from a root aor. (μῠ́σαν Ω 637 for *μῠ́-ν?); from there the fut. μῠ́σ-ω. Then the σ in μύσ-της would be unoriginal. If old, μέμῡκα would have to be analogical. The present μύω can be explained both from μυ- and from μυσ- (*μύσ-ι̯ω Schulze Q. 334 n. 3 as a question); cf. Schwyzer 686 and 721. -- Comparisons outside Greek are hardly of help: the isolated Latv. musinât `whisper, murmur' (WP. 2, 310, Pok. 752) does no say much. (Does μύω go back on sound-imitating μῦ?; s. also μύζω, μῦθος, μυκάομαι. -- The innovation μυέομαι with μυέω may have arisen from nonpres., with η enlarged forms like μυηθῆναι, μεμύημαι; cf. Schwyzer 721. On μυάω cf. σιγάω, βοάω a.o. -- On the fate of μυστικός, μυστήριον in the Westeurop. languages (Fr. mystique, mystère etc.) and in Newgr. s. Chantraine Studii clasice 2, 69 f. - Fur. 378 compares ἀμύω and considers it as perh. Pre-Greek. Janda connects Pal. muš- `satiate oneself', IE * meus- `shut oneself' (LIV 401), Sprache 40, 1998 [2001], 21.Page in Frisk: 2,Greek-English etymological dictionary (Ελληνικά-Αγγλικά ετυμολογική λεξικό) > μύω
