Origin: IE [Indo-European] [726] * mneh₂- `mention'

Etymology: The above paradigm, together with the nominal formations built on a general μνᾱ-, is a purely Greek creation. The basis of the generalized system were of course one or a few verbal forms; as however the new system was already complete at the beginneing of Greek and the cognate languages present nothing that could be compared directly with the Greek forms, we can no more follow its creation. A monosyllabic IE * mnā- is found in class. Sanskrit, as in aor. a-mnā-siṣ-uḥ `they mentioned', which typologically reminds of μνῆ-σ-αι, in the perf. act. ma-mnau (gramm.), prob. innovation to midd. ma-mn-e (cf. μέμονα) and not (with Brugmann Grundr.<sup>2</sup> II: 3,441) to be connected with μέμνημαι; further in - mnā-ta- `mentioned' and mnā-ya-te `is mentioned', with which agree on the one hand Ἄ-μνᾱ-τος and - with secondary σ (Schwyzer 503) - μνη-σ-τή, on the other hand μνάομαι. But the last is undoubtedly analogically innovated after wellknown patterns to μνήσασθαι etc.; also the verbal adj. does not look archaic. The development of μιμνήσκω has been prob. about the same as with κικλήσκω (where however καλέ-σαι was retained) or with βιβρώσκω (s.v.), where also non-Greek agreements to βρω- are rare or doubtful. The general re-creation isolated μιμνήσκω both formally and semantically from the old μέμονα and even more from μαίνομαι. -- From μνάομαι `remind, mention' developed as courteous expression the meaning `woo a woman, court'; s. Benveniste Sprachgesch. u. Wortbed. 13 ff., where also against the connection with γυνή (Schwyzer 726 n. 1). Against Benveniste Ambrosini Rend. Acc. Lincei 8: 10, 62ff. with new interpretation: to δάμνημι, ἀδμής; not convincing. -- Further rich lit. in WP. 2, 264ff., Pok. 726ff., W. -Hofmann s. meminī, Fraenkel Lit. et. Wb. s. miñti. Cf. μαίνομαι, μέμονα, μένος.

Grammatical information: v.

Meaning: `to buy' (Od.).

Other forms: Ptc. πριάμενος, finite forms ἐπριάμην, πρίωμαι, πριαίμην, ipv. πρίασο (- ίω, -ίᾱ).

Compounds: rarely w. prefix, e.g. ἐκ-, συν-.

Derivatives: Neg. vbaladj. ἀ-πρία-τος in ἀπριάτην acc. sg. f. `unbought, without ransom' (A 99, h. Cer.132), as adv. `gratuitous' (ξ317, Agath.4,22), pl. ἀπριάτας (Pi. Fr. 169, 8); PN Άπριάτη; cf. Leumann Hom. Wörter 167 f.

Origin: IE [Indo-European] [648] * kʷreih₂- `buy'

Etymology: Old inherited, in Greek isolated aorist. Closest to the Greek form comes the OIr. subj. ni-cria `emat' (IE *kʷrii̯āt); remarkably Greek does not have the both in Sanskrit and Celt. and in Slav. wellknown nasalpresent, Skt. krīṇā́ti (for older *kriṇā́ti), OIr. crenim, ORuss. krьnuti `buy'. A corresponding Gr. *πρίνημι had become awkward because of the resembling opposite πέρνημι, Aeol. πορνάμεν `sell' (Meillet BSL 26, 14). The vbaladj. ἀ-πρία-τος can be identified with Skt. krītá- `bought' (ια \< ih₂e = Skt. ī \< ih₂; Schwyzer 363 w. lit. and 743, where also on the other forms). -- To the further numerous, in the separate languages appearing derivations, e.g. Skt. krayá- m. `purchase(price) \< * kʷroih₂-o-', OIr. crīth `payment, purchase', OLith. krienas `price', Toch. B karyor, A kuryar `purchase, trade', Greek has no correspondence. -- Further forms w. rich lit. in WP. 1, 523 f., Pok. 648 and in the relevant dictionaries.

Grammatical information: f.

Meaning: `darnel, Lolium temulentum' (Thphr).

Origin: XX [etym. unknown]

Etymology: Hardly to Skt. erakā f. ` a kind of grass', which Specht KZ 66, 12 assumes to be an oriental loanword in both languages; rejected by Thieme 1953 = Heimat 586 = 52. Berger thinks the Sanskrit word is of Austro-Asiatic origin, WZKS 3 (1959) 48. (On erakās. Klaus MSS 57 (1997) 49-64). - αἰρόπινον s.s.v.

Grammatical information: v.

Meaning: `toil, labour, build; get tired, die' (euphem.; almost only ep. οἱ καμόντες, Att. οἱ κεκμηκότες); `be in danger, be in need' (Il.).

Other forms: Aor. καμεῖν, fut. καμοῦμαι (Schwyzer 784), perf. κέκμηκα, Dor. (Theoc.) κέκμᾱκα, ep. ptc. κεκμηώς.

Compounds: also with prefix, e. g. ἀπο-, ἐκ-, συγ-. - As 2. member in compunds: ἀ-κάματος `without fatigue' (Il.). ἀ-κάμα-ς, - α-ντ-ος `indefatigable' (Il.; on the formation Schwyzer 526); more usual - κμη-τ- (-κμᾱ-τ-), - κμη-το- (-κμᾱ-το-), e. g. ἀ-κμή-ς, - ῆτ-ος `id.', ἄ-κμη-τος `id.', πολύ-κμητος `with much labour prepared'.

Derivatives: Verbal noun κάματος m. `labour, much demending labour, fatigue, pain' (Il.; on the meaning Radermacher RhM 87, 285f. [doubtful]). καματώδης `tiring' (Hes., Pi.), καματηρός `tiring, tired' (Ion., h. Ven. 246; after ἀνιηρός etc.; Chantraine Formation 232, Zumbach Neuerungen 15); καματηδόν `with fatigue' (Man.); also the verbal forms καματῶν κοπιῶν, ἐκαμάτευσε μετὰ κακοπαθείας εἰργάσατο H. (: καματάω, - τεύω).

Origin: IE [Indo-European] [557] *ḱemh₂- `exert oneself, get tired'

Etymology: Beside the thematic nasal present κάμνω Sanskrit has an athematic nā-present (type δάμ-νᾱ-μι): midd. śam-nī-te `exert onself, labour' (Schwyzer 693). The disyll. root form is seen in the impv. śamī̆-ṣva and the agent noun in śami-tár- `who prepares', which agree with Gr. κάμα-τος. Also the thematic aorist ἔ-καμ-ον, ἔ-καμ-ε has a parallel in Skt. a-śam-a-t, both with zero grade, *ḱm̥h₂-e\/o- (Schwyzer 747, Chantraine Gramm. hom. 1, 391); the full grade can be seen in athematic Skt. aor. á-śami-ṣ-ṭa (RV), *e-ḱemh₂-t. The zero grade in Greek is κμη-, PGr. κμᾱ- \< *ḱm̥h₂- ( κέ-κμη-κα, ἄ-κμη-τος.), which in Sanskrit gave śān-tá- (ptc.); s. Rix, Hist. Gramm 1976, 73. κάματος derives from *ḱm̥h₂-etos. - Certain traces of the root in other languages have not been found; perhaps in some Celtic nouns, like MIr. cuma `trouble', cumal `slave (fem.)'. Pok. 557. - Cf. κομέω, κομίζω (\< *ḱomh₂-).

Meaning: `salt' (very often pl.) (Il.)

Other forms: f. (only sg.) poetical word for the sea (after θάλασσα or as collective?); since Arist. ἅλας, - ατος n. from the acc. pl., Leumann Hom. Wörter 160f.

Dialectal forms: Myc. opia₂ra \/ opihala\/ `coastal regions' cf. ἔφαλος. apia₂ro \/ Amphihalos\/, a₂rie perhaps \/haliēn\/ Perpillou Subst. en -eus, 1973, 61 n. 2, 161.

Derivatives: ἅλ-μη `sea-water, brine' ( Od.) with ἁλμυρός `salt, briny' (Od.); from *ἁλυρός (cf. ἁλυ-κός), Schwyzer 482: 6; cf. πλημυρίς. - ἅλιος, (-α), - ον `of the sea' (Hom.) - ἁλιεύς `fisher' (Od.) - ἁλυ-κός `salt' (Hp.).

Origin: IE [Indo-European] [878] * seh₂(e)l- `salt'

Etymology: Old word found in most IE languages: Lat. sāl (secondary lengthening), OIr. salann, Arm. aɫ (i-stem), Latv. sāls, OCS solь (i-stem, secondary beside the consonant-stem in slanъ `salted' \< * solnъ), Toch. B sālyiye, A sāle. A d-enlargement in Goth. salt etc., Arm. aɫt, and in Balt.-Slav., e.g. Lith. sald-ùs `süß', OCS. sladъ-kъ id. Lith. sólymas points to * seh₂l-, other languages require * sh₂-el. This gives an original paradigm nom. *seh₂-(ōl?), acc. sh₂-el-m, gen. * sh₂-l-os. On possible Sanskrit cognates Thieme ZDMG 111 (1961) 94ff.

* * *

n., gen. pl. augna, [Lat. oculus, a dimin. of an obsolete ocus; Gr. οφθαλμός (Boeot. οκταλμός); Sanskr. aksha: the word is common to Sanskrit with the Slavonic, Greek, Roman, and Teutonic idioms: Goth. augo; Germ, auge; A. S. eâge; Engl. eye; Scot. ee; Swed. öga; Dan. öje, etc. Grimm s. v. suggests a relationship to Lat. acies, acutus, etc. The letter n appears in the plur. of the mod. northern languages; the Swedes say ‘ögon,’ oculi, the Danes ‘öjne;’ with the article ‘ögonen’ and ‘öjnene;’ Old Engl. ‘eyne;’ Scot. ‘een’]

I. an eye. It is used in Icel. in a great many proverbs, e. g. betr sjá augu en auga, ‘two eyes see better than one,’ i. e. it is good to yield to advice: referring to love, unir auga meðan á sér, the eye is pleased whilst it can behold (viz. the object of its affection), Fas. i. 125, cp. Völs. rím. 4. 189; eigi leyna augu, ef ann kona manni, the eyes cannot bide it, if a woman love a man, i. e. they tell their own tale, Ísl. ii. 251. This pretty proverb is an απ. λεγ. l. c. and is now out of use; it is no doubt taken from a poem in a dróttkvætt metre, (old proverbs have alliteration, but neither rhymes nor assonance, rhyming proverbs are of a comparatively late date): medic., eigi er sá heill er í augun verkir, Fbr. 75; sá drepr opt fæti ( slips) er augnanna missir, Bs. i. 742; hætt er einu auganu nema vel fari, he who has only one eye to lose will take care of it (comm.); húsbóndans auga sér bezt, the master’s eye sees best; glögt er gests augat, a guest’s eye is sharp; mörg eru dags augu, the day has many eyes, i. e. what is to be hidden must not be done in broad daylight, Hm. 81; náið er nef augum, the nose is near akin to the eyes (tua res agitur paries quum proximus ardet), Nj. 21; opt verðr slíkt á sæ, kvað selr, var skotinn í auga, this often happens at sea, quoth the seal, when he was shot in the eye, of one who is in a scrape, Fms. viii. 402. In many phrases, at unna ( to love) e-m sem augum í höfði sér, as one’s own eye-balls, Nj. 217; þótti mér slökt it sætasta ljós augna minna, by his death the sweetest light of my eyes was quenched, 187: hvert grætr þú nú Skarphéðinn? eigi er þat segir Skarphéðinn, en hitt er satt at súrnar í augum, the eyes smart from smoke, 200: renna, líta augum, to seek with the eyes, to look upon: it is used in various connections, renna, líta ástaraugum, vánaraugum, vinaraugum, trúaraugum, öfundaraugum, girndarauga, with eyes of love, hope, friendship, faith, envy, desire: mæna a. denotes an upward or praying look; stara, fixed; horfa, attentive; lygna, blundskaka, stupid or slow; blína, glápa, góna, vacant or silly; skima, wandering; hvessa augu, a threatening look; leiða e-n a., to measure one with the eyes; gjóta, or skjóta hornauga, or skjóta a. í skjálg, to throw a side glance of dislike or ill-will; gjóta augum is always in a bad sense; renna, líta mostly in a good sense: gefa e-u auga, oculum adjicere alicui; hafa auga á e-u, to keep an eye on it; segja e-m e-t í augu upp, to one’s face, Orkn. 454; at augum, adverb. with open eyes, Hervar. S. (in a verse), etc. As regards various movements of the eyes; ljúka upp augum, to open the eyes; láta aptr augun, to shut the eyes; draga auga í pung, to draw the eye into a purse, i. e. shut one eye; depla augum, to blink; at drepa titlinga (Germ. äugeln, blinzen), to wink, to kill tits with the suppressed glances of the eye; glóðarauga, a suffusion on the eye, hyposphagma; kýrauga. proptosis; vagl á auga, a beam in the eye; skjálgr, Lat. limus; ský, albugo; tekinn til augnanna, with sunken eyes, etc., Fél. ix. 192; a. bresta, in death: hafa stýrur í augum, to have prickles in the eyes, when the eyes ache for want of sleep: vatna músum, ‘to water mice,’ used esp. of children weeping silently and trying to hide their tears. As to the look or expression of the eyes there are sundry metaph. phrases, e. g. hafa fékróka í augum, to have wrinkles at the corners of the eyes, of a shrewd money getting fellow, Fms. ii. 84, cp. Orkn. 330, 188, where krókauga is a cognom.; kvenna-króka, one insinuating with the fair sex; hafa ægishjalm í augum is a metaphor of one with a piercing, commanding eye, an old mythical term for the magical power of the eye, v. Grimm’s D. Mythol. under Ægishjalmr: vera mjótt á milli augnanna, the distance between the eyes being short, is a popular saying, denoting a close, stingy man, hence mjóeygr means close: e-m vex e-t í augu (now augum), to shrink back from, of a thing waxing and growing before one’s eyes so that one dares not face it. As to the shape, colour, etc. of the eye, vide the adj. ‘eygr’ or ‘eygðr’ in its many compds. Lastly we may mention the belief, that when the water in baptism touches the eyes, the child is thereby in future life prevented from seeing ghosts or goblins, vide the words úfreskr and skygn. No spell can touch the human eye; en er harm sá augu hans (that of Loki in the shape of a bird), þá grunaði hann (the giant) at maðr mundi vera, Edda 60; í bessum birni þykist hón kenna augu Bjarnar konungs sonar, Fas. i. 51, vide Ísl. Þjóðs.

II. meton. and metaph. auga is used in a great many connections:

α. astron.; þjaza augu, the eyes of the giant Thiazi, is a constellation, probably the Dioscuri, Castor and Pollux; the story is told in the Edda 47, cp. Harbarðsljóð 19; (Snorri attributes it to Odin, the poem to Thor.)

β. botan., auga = Lat. gemma, Hjalt. 38; kattarauga, cat’s eye, is the flower forget-me-not.

γ. the spots that form the numbers on dice, Magn. 530.

δ. the hole in a millstone; kvarnarauga, Edda 79, 221, Hkr. i. 121: the opening into which an axe handle is fastened, Sturl. ii. 91: a pit full of water, Fs. 45: nálarauga, a needle’s eye: vindauga, wind’s eye or window (which orig. had no glass in it), A. S. eag-dura (eye-door); also gluggi, q. v.: gleraugu, spectacles.

ζ. hafsauga, the bottom of the ocean, in the popular phrase, fara út í hafsauga, descendere ad tartara.

η. poët. the sun is called heimsauga, dagsauga, Jónas 119.

Dialectal forms: Att. (acc. to Hdn. Gr.)

Origin: IE [Indo-European] [367] *ǵlH-ōu-s `husband's sister'

Etymology: The Greek forms derive from *γαλ-αϜ-ο- (not *γαλ-ωϜ-ο-, Beekes, MSS 34, 1976,13ff), thematization of *ǵlh₂-eu-; this is probably an oblique stem from *ǵ(e)lh₂-ōu-s (formation as in πάτρως, μήτρως, s. vv.). Old genealogical term. Acc. to Hermann Gött. Nachr. 1918, 222f. originally the ummarried sister of the husband. Cf. Lat. glōs `husband's sister' (sec. `brother's wife'); the loss of the laryngeal in Latin is difficult, Schrijver 131. Arm. tal `id.' (i-stem; t- for c- after taygr `husbands brother', s. on δαήρ) and Slavic words, e. g. OCS zъlъva, Russ. zólva, zolóvka \< *-uu̯- (from - uh₂- after the feminines in -ūs?). Sanskrit has giri- `sister-in-law' from *ǵlH-i-. Unclear γέλαρος ἀδελφοῦ γυνή, Φρυγιστί H. (for *γέλαϜος? Hermann l.c.). - Oettinger (in Anreiter a.o., Man and the animal world, 1998, 649-654) points out that in Romance languages and dialects often `weasel' and `aunt' are homonyms, because of the behaviour of the aunt; for the same reason the IE terms could have been identical. The nature of the laryngeal is difficult to determine, unless the Hesychius gloss has *γαλαϜ-ος \< *ǵlh₂-eu-os ( γάλις could be *ǵlH-i-).

f. (Ved. voc. ámbe < VS. > orﾠ amba < RV. >, in later Sanskrit amba only, sometimes a mere interjection ĀṡvṠr.), a mother, good woman (as a title of respect);

head, so Irish, Old Irish cend, cenn, Welsh, Breton penn, Gaul, Penno-, *qenno. Perhaps for qen-no-, root qen (labialised), begin, Church Slavonic koni, beginning, as in ceud, first. The difficulty is that the other labialising languages and the Britonic branch otherwise show no trace of labialisation for qen. Windisch, followed by Brugmann, suggested a stem kvindo-, Indo-European root kvi, Sanskrit çvi, swell, Greek $$G Píndos, Pindus Mount; but the root vowel is not i, even granting the possible labialisation of kvi, which does not really take place in Greek. Hence ceannag, a bottle of hay, ceannaich, buy (="heading" or reckoning by the head; cf. Dial. ceann, sum up), ceannaich, head-wind (Hend.), ceannas, vaunting ( Hend.).
