2 εἰλίπους
Grammatical information: adj.Meaning: meaning uncertain, in Hom. only dat. and acc. pl. - πόδεσσιν, - ποδας of βόες; later (Anakr., Eup.) also of other nouns.Other forms: ( εἰλιπόδης Nonn.; on the meaning Schwyzer 451)Origin: XX [etym. unknown]Etymology: Because the meaning is unclear, the etymologies are uncertain. As ἀερσίποδες ἵπποι (Σ 532) `footlifting horses' suggest a contrasting `footdragging', Osthoff BB 22, 255ff. assumed as 1. member an element related to Lith. selù, selė́ti `drag', Skt. t-sárati `slink towards'; so εἰλίπους would be `with.sneaking feet'. But this interpretation is not as sregnant or graphic as the Greek possibilities. There seems to be no digamma (Chantr. Gramm. hom. 1, 132); but see Shipp Studies 60 (late formation without old tradition?). One might think of `footpressing' (to εἰλέω `press') as `footturning' (to εἰλέω `turn'; thus also H.: διὰ τὸ ἑλίσσειν τοὺς πόδας κατὰ την πορείαν). εἰ- metri causa or from the present.

From this στοιχ-άς f. `arranged in rows' ( ἐλᾶαι, Sol. ap. Poll. a.o.), - άδες ( νῆσοι) name of a group of islands near Massilia (A. R. a.o.); from this the plantname στοιχάς (Orph., Dsc.) after Strömberg 127 (with Dsc.), with - αδίτης οἶνος `wine spiced with s.' (Dsc.). Cultnames of Zeus resp. Athena: - αῖος (Thera), - αδεύς (Sikyon), - εία (Epid.) referring to the arrangement in phylai.

The full grade thematic present στείχω agrees exactly to Germ. and Celtic forms, e.g. Goth. steigan ` steigen', OIr. tiagu `stride, go', IE *stéighō. Beside it Skt. has a zero grade nasal present stigh-no-ti `rise'; similar, inmeaning deviant, OCS po-stignǫ `get in, reach, hit' (length of the stemvowel secondary).

8 βαίτυλος
Grammatical information: m.Meaning: kind of (magical) stone (Sotakos of Karystos apud Plin. N. H. 37, 135), which fell from heaven (Dam. Isid. 94, 203). Acc. to Hesychius the stone given to Kronos instead of Zeus. Also name of a god ( Διὶ Βετύλῳ, Dura iii AD). βαίτυλον αν κατέπιες Apostol. 9.24, of a greedy person.Other forms: ῡ (but how do we know?).Derivatives: βαιτύλιον (Dam. etc.).Origin: LW [a loanword which is (probably) not of Pre-Greek origin] Sem.Etymology: The discussion is very unclear, also because archeologists use the term in a very wide sense, without caring for the name. Zuntz Class. et Mediaeval. 8, 169ff. (who discusses the sources) thought it was a Mediterranean word, from which also Sem. bethel, interpreted as `House of God'. Unwisely, Zuntz postulates a pan-Mediterranan substrate to explain his facts, which nobody will accept. Hemmerdinger, Glotta 48 (1970) 99f. thinks it is Sem.; thus Röllig, Dict. Deities Demons (s.v. Bethel). The fact that the word appears very late, and in the context of northern Syria, makes it most probable that the word is Semitic, Bayt-el `House of El'; an old Pre-Gr. word is therefore improbable; cf. also Ribichini ib. s.v. Baetyl. (West, East Face 294f., makes the mistake (pointed out in the laterature) that in Gen. 28. 10-22 the place, not the stone, is called 'House of God'; see Wests concluding remark. Comparable stones are called abaddir in Punic, but what conclusion can be drawn from it (I think none), is unclear; the meaning of the term is unknown).

(Antiph., inscr.; λωτ. Tab. Heracl.) with the dimin. - ηρίδιον (Hero, pap.), - ηρίσκος (Gloss.); ἐκλουτήριος `for washing' (Aegina); ἐγλουστρίς f. `bathing-drawers?' (hell. pap.). - 4. λούστης m. "bather", `who loves bathing' (Arist., M. Ant.). - 5. λοῦσις ` bathing, washing' (late pap., inscr.), ἀπόλουσις `washing' (Pl.). - 6. λοῦμα n. `stream' (Sardes); prob also λούματα (cod. ἀούματα) τὰ τῶν πτισσομένων κριθῶν ἄχυρα Κύπριοι H.; cf. ἀπόλουμα = ἀποκάθαρμα (sch., Eust.); or because the chaff before feeding was washed away in water?; diff. Bechtel Dial. 1, 451 (with Hoffmann Dial. 1, 121). -7. λουτιάω `want to bathe' (Luc. Lex. 2; after ἐμετ-ιάω: ἐμέω a. o.).Origin: IE [Indo-European] [692] *leu̯h₃- `wash, bathe'Etymology: The aorist λο(Ϝ)έ-σαι agrees with κορέ-σαι, στορέ-σαι; the rare present λο(Ϝ)έ-ω can be explained as innovation (cf. Specht KZ 59, 61). From λο(Ϝ)έσαι by contraction could arise λοῦσαι; to this again λούω. In Hom. the uncontracted forms can be inserted, e.g. λόεσεν etc. for λοῦσεν etc., also λοέεσθαι for λούεσθαι (Z 508 = O 265). Both λοῦσαι etc. and the isolated λό', λόον, λόεσθαι are understandable from (thematic) λό(Ϝ)-ω; the last forms however, can also be due to hyphairesis (cf. Schwyzer 252 f.). Also λοῦσθαι, λοῦνται, λούμενος admit basic forms like *λόϜ-εσθαι *λόϜ-ονται, *λοϜ-όμενος; but rhey are at the same time explainable from λο(Ϝ)έεσ-θαι, λο(Ϝ)έονται, λο(Ϝ)εόμενος. Further details in Schwyzer 682, Chantraine Gramm. hom. 1, 34, 347, 374, Risch ̨ 117. An immediate agreement to monosyll. thematic λό(Ϝ)ω appears in Lat. lav-ō, lav-ere (from * lov-; cf. Szemerényi KZ 70, 57 f.); to disyll. λο(Ϝ)έ-σαι may at the same time disyll. lavā-re (if the length is secondary) correspond (IE *leu̯h₃-). Wether also Arm. loganam, aor. logac̣ay `bathe oneself' has a disyllabic root, remains uncertain given the productivity of the Arm. verbs in - anam. From the general o-vowel deviate Myc. rewotorokowo and rewoterejo; their connection with λοετρόν has been explained from metathesis of * lewo-. Also the Celtic and Germanic nominal derivv. show the same vocalisation, e.g. Gaul. lautro `bathing place', OIr. lōathar `basin', OWNo. lauđr n. `lye, (soap)foam', OE lēaÞor `soap-foam', which can go back on IE * louh₃-tro- and can be identical with λο(Ϝ)ετρόν. - Hitt. lah̯(h̯)uu̯āi-'pour', since Sturtevant connected with λούω (s. Friedrich Wb.), is formally unclear (on expects *leh₂\/₃-u-). - Further forms in Bq, WP. 2, 441, Pok. 692, W.-Hofmann s. lavō.Page in Frisk: 2,138-139Greek-English etymological dictionary (Ελληνικά-Αγγλικά ετυμολογική λεξικό) > λούω

10 νήφω
νήφω Ch. 3, 134Grammatical information: v.Meaning: `be sober, fast', often metaph.Other forms: Dor. νάφω, in the older language only present, mostly in ptc. (IA., Thgn., Archil.), aor. νῆψαι (J., 1. Ep. Pet. 4, 7).Derivatives: 1. νήφων, - ονος in νήφονες νήφοντες H., dat. pl. νήφοσι (Thgn.); 2. νηφάλιος `without wine', of drink-offerings etc. (A.), later also of persons `fasten' (Ph., J.) with νηφαλιεύω `bring a drinkoffering without wine' (Poll.), νηφαλίζω in νηφαλισμένον ὕδατι, οὑκ οἴνῳ ἡγνισμένον H.; besides νηφαλιεύς surn. of Apollon (AP 9, 525, 14: - έα, metr. enlargement at verse-end, cf. Bosshardt 70); also νηφαλέος (Hdn. Gr., Ph.; after αὑαλέος etc., Debrunner IF 23, 17 f.) and νηφαντικός `sobering' (Pl.

Arm. nawt'i is prob. i- (i̯o-)deriv. of an unattested noun * nawt', which formally agrees to canawt `known' (to the aor. can-eay, pres. čanač̣em `recognise', s. γιγνώσκω) and like this must have a dental suffix; even the semantic relation is unclear, De Lamberterie, RPh. 72 (1998)134 (= DELG Suppl.); cf. Clackson 1994, 154ff; even the long a of Greek is doubted; so de L. prefers to connect Lat. ēbrius and reconstructs *n̥-h₁gʷʰon-. -- Given the preponderance of the nominal forms (including the ptc. νήφων) as also the meaning one might think that the relatively rare present νήφω (with secondary νῆψαι) was a denominative and to start from a noun *νᾱφ(ο-) v.t. (cf. for the type Schwyzer 722f.), to which there was an l \/ n-stem νηφ-άλ-ιος, νήφ-ον-. -- OHG nuoh-turn `sober', earlier conidered a testimony for an IE * nāgʷʰ-, remains far as LW [loanword] (Lat. nocturnus), s.

R. 2, 68), `limb' (Theoc. 23, 39); older meaning unclear ( ἐκ ῥεθέων Π 856 = Χ 362, Χ 68); cf. ῥεθέων σπλάγχνων, μελῶν, σωμάτων H.; sch. on Χ 68 proposes `face, mouth', also `nostrils', the last of which is preferred by Leumann Hom. Wörter 218ff. (where older lit.) because of the plur. Cf. Snell, Entdeckung des Geistes 24-6, who demonstratess the transition from the literal meaning (a bodypart) to `body'.Compounds: As 1. member in Aeol. ῥεθο-μαλίδας, after sch. on Χ 68 = εὑπροσώπους; litt. "with face-apples". As the meaning `face, countenance', by gramm. given as Aeolic, is certain, we have to start from this in explaining the word. Both an older ep. meaning `mouth' and `figure, body' seems possible; cf. e.g. Lat. ōs `mouth, face', faciēs `figure, face'; the plur. could be after μέλεα, στήθεα, στέρνα, νῶτα a.o. On the meaning in Hom. cf. Vivante Arch. glottol. it. 40, 41 f. -- An orig. mening `nostril(s)' fits excellently, and the transition to `face' or `body' is unproblematic.Origin: XX [etym. unknown]Etymology: No convincing etymology. If we can trust the byform ῥόθος in EM 701, 34, the word must be IE and the θ must belong to the root [but this is doubtful]. Against connection with Skt. várdhati `grow' (to which a.o. Slav., e.g. Russ. rod `lineage, birh', Czech. ú-roda `figure, beauty') as *`figure' (= 'Wuchs'), Frisk IF 49, 101 ff., tells, as Leumann l.c. rightly remarks, the lack of the Ϝ- (β-) in Aeol. ῥέθος. Diff. Fraenkel Glotta 32, 31 ff. (agreeing Treu Von Homer zur Lyrik 190 n. 4): to ῥίς, ῥέω; neither morpholog. nor semant. convincing. -- An orig. mening `nostril(s)' fits excellently, and the transition to `face' or `body' is unproblematic.Page in Frisk: 2,648Greek-English etymological dictionary (Ελληνικά-Αγγλικά ετυμολογική λεξικό) > ῥέθος

A kukāl (B kokale) `wagon'; further the in detail unclear Phryg. κίκλην την ἄρκτον τὸ ἄστρον H., prop. `wagon' (cf. Porzig Gliederung 183; not better Scherer Gestirnnamen 139). An also very old, unreduplicated and full grade formation is represented by OWNo. huĕl (beside hjōl = OE. hwēol), OPr. kelan, IE. *kʷélo-m n. (as ἔργον); with ο-vowel (from the collektive plural kola?; Lidén GHÅ 39: 2, 47 n. 1) OCS kolo, gen. - ese `wheel, wagon'. - At the basis is the verb `turn', s. πέλομαι. Given the further general meaning `wheel' (\> `wagon') one may ask whether κύκλος in the meaning `circle' as apposed to `wheel' is not secondary. An original meaning `turning, turner' is supposed in the Baltic word for `neck; Gm. Hals', e.g. Lith. kãklas (s. Fraenkel Wb. s. v.); but the word is not only semantically, but also formally deviant (IE. * kʷo-kʷl-o- ?) from the wheel-meaning.Page in Frisk: 2,44-45Greek-English etymological dictionary (Ελληνικά-Αγγλικά ετυμολογική λεξικό) > κύκλος

Grammatical information: v.Meaning: `to decline, to descend', esp. of the balance (scales), `to sway down, to turn out, to gain the upper hand', w. prefix also trans. `to lower, to let tilt' (Il.).Derivatives: 1. ῥοπή f. `lowering, tilting (of the scales), swing' (Alc., IA.), to which a.o. ἀντί-ρροπος `equipoising, counterweighing', also connected with ῥέπω (Att.), with ἀντιρροπ-ίη (v. l. -ή) f. `counterweight' (Hp.). 2. περί-ρρεψις f. `tilting' (Hp.). 3. ῥόπαλον n. `bludgeon, mace' (Il.) [but Chantraine, Form. 246 calls connection with ῥέπω doubtful; I think that the word is rather Pre-Greek]with ῥοπάλ-ιον n. (hell. inscr. a. pap.), - ωτός `equipped with a club-like rounding' (D. C.), - ώδης `(pulsing) like a club', of the pulse, - ωσις f. des. of a hairdisease (medic.), - ικός `club-like', as des. of a verse (gramm.), - ίζει στρέφει, κινεῖ ὡς ῥόπαλον H. with - ισμοί pl. (Ar. Lys.); on the meaning of ῥόπαλον cf. below. 4. ῥόπτρον n. `the wood in a trap, knocker, ring at the door, tamboutine' (Archil., Att.); with dissim. ῥόπτον meaning unclear (Epid. IVa), - τίον κλειδίον H. 5. περι-, ἐπι-, κατα-ρρεπής `tilting etc.' (IA.), ἑτερο-ρρεπής prop. "tilting to (one or) the other side", `indecisive, unbiased' (A. in lyr., Hp.). 6. ῥεπτικός `tilting' ( Stoik.).Origin: XX [etym. unknown]Etymology: Beside the full grade root-present ῥέπω one assumes as zero grade ῥάπτω, ῥαπίζω (IE *u̯rep-: u̯r̥p-?), also with lengthened grade ῥώψ, but see s.v. As the main semantic denominator one posits `turn (together), wind, bend', but it is impossible to indicate in every case the connections. For ῥέπω one would like to assume a meaning `bow (away) from the straight position, divert', first of the scales. A basic meaning `turn', from where `throw' (cf. Lat. torqueō `turn, throw') one wanted to find in ῥόπαλον, ῥόπτρον (cf. WP. 1, 276 with Curtius a.o.); for the in that case to be assumed meaning `throwing stick' (cf. καλαῦροψ) there is however not the slightest indication. A direct connection with ῥαπίζω, ῥαπίς (prop. `rod, staff'; Persson Beitr. 1, 499) lies formally farther than direct connection with ῥέπω, ῥοπή. So ῥόπαλον prop. "the (for the blow) lowered, falling down (club)" like ῥόπτρον of the wood falling down ? Cf. ξύλον καθῆκε (E. HF 993) of the on the head of a boy downcoming club of Heracles. -- Cf. ῥέμβομαι w. references.Page in Frisk: 2,649-650Greek-English etymological dictionary (Ελληνικά-Αγγλικά ετυμολογική λεξικό) > ῥέπω

(Frisk notes that the meaning is the same as that of τύλη, which is irrelevant.)Other forms: also σκορδύλη (Arist.) and κορύδῡλις (Numen. ap. Ath.).Compounds: as 1. member (with syllable-dissimilation) in κορδυ-βαλλῶδες ( πέδον, Luc.

As 2. member a.o. in ματαιο-πονέω `to labour in vain' (Democr.) with - πονία (Str.), - πόνημα (Iamb.), - πόνος (Plu., Gal.). From it πόν-ημα ( δια-) n. `labour, work' (Pl., E. u.a.), - ησις ( δια-, κατα-) f. `labour, effort' (Plu., D. L.); as backformation e.g. διάπον-ος `working hard, weary' (Plu.) from δια-πονέω. 6. Beside it πονάω only in ἐπονάθη (Pi.) and ἐπόνασαν (Theoc.); s. Schwyzer 719 w. n. 1.Origin: XX [etym. unknown]Etymology: Not certainly explained. The primary present πένομαι, which was pushed back and replaced by its own iterative πονέομαι, - έω and by its synonyms, e.g. κάμνω, δέω, is in the epos used esp. of domestic labour (cf. Porzig Satzinhalte 15). The meaning `want, lack, be poor' (from where πενία and πενιχρός already since Od.) developed from there like Lat. laborare `exert oneself', also `be in need, be pressed' (unargumented doubt in WP. 2, 661). Unclear is however the earlier history of the meaning. Possible is, that πένομαι orig. indicated a certain kind of domesic labour and from there was generalized. One may compare in that case expressions for `stretch, twist, weave' in Lith. pìnti `twist', OCS pęti `stretch', Arm. hanum and henum `weave', further OHG etc. spin. As the basic meaning of this verb seems to have been `unharness', one may also from there through `harness oneself' come to `exert oneself' (cf. Arm. y-enum `stem or stut smthing with hands or shoulders'?). Thus (after Schleicher, Benfey, Fick; s. Curtius 271f.) Pedersen KZ 39, 414 and Persson Beitr. 1, 411 ff.; further combinations in WP. 2, 660ff., Pok. 988, W.-Hofmann s. pendeō. As however the semantic development can be interpreted in diff. ways, this etymology, though quite possible, cannot be proven. A loan is hard to envisage. -- On the meaning of πένητες and πλούσιοι and synonyms and of πενία and πλοῦτος s. J. Hemelrijk Πενία en Πλοῦτος. Diss. Utrecht 1925.
