Grammatical information: v.Meaning: `peel (off)' (Il.)Other forms: aor. λέψαι, fut. λέψω (Il.), perf. midd. ἀπο-λέλεμμαι (Epich.), aor. pass. ἀπελέπη ἀπελεπίσθη H.; also with ablaut λέλαμμαι (Att. inscr. around 330a), ἐκ-λαπῆναι (Ar.

With ε-grade (from the present): 1. λεπτός (cf. στρεπ-τός a.o. in Ammann Μνήμης χάριν 1,17) `peeled' = `unveiled' (Υ 497), `thin, meager, weak, fine, delicate' (Il., often as 1. member.

"who travels in (foreign) clothes", `thief of clothes' with λωποδυτ-έω etc. (Att.); suffixless form λώψ χλαμύς H.; cf. Schwyzer 515, Chantraine Form. 424. Dimin. λώπιον (Arist., inscr.); denomin. ἀπο-, περι-λωπίζω `undress, put off' (S., Hyp.).Origin: PG [a word of Pre-Greek origin]Etymology: The primary thematic present λέπω, from which all verbal forms were derived ( λέλαμμαι, - λαπῆναι innovations after ἔστραμμαι, στραφῆναι etc.), has no direct agreements outside Greek. There are a few nominal formations, which resemble the Greek forms: Lith. lãpas `leaf', Alb. lapë `rag, leaf, peritoneum' (: λοπός), Lith. lõpas `rag, piece' (: λῶπος; also OE lōf m. `band of the forehead'??, Holthausen IF 32, 340), with Russ. lápotь `shoe of bark' (lapotók `rag, piece'); quite doubtful OE leber, læfer f. `rush, cane, metal plate' (: λέπρα?; Holthausen IF 48, 255). With λέπος one compared also Lat. s-stem lepōs `fine-ness, delicacy', and the Slav. extension in Russ. lépest `rag, piece, leaf of a flower'. Given the productivity of these formations and the varying meanings we may have parallel creations. - Further, partly very doubtful and debated forms in WP. 2, 429f., Pok. 678, W.-Hofmann s. lepidus, Fraenkel Lit. et. Wb. s. lãpas, lõpas, also lèpti `be coddled', Vasmer Russ. et. Wb. s. lépest, lápotь, lópotõk; with rich lit. - We can safely conclude that the verb is not IE: there is hardly a formal agreement, nor does the meaning agree well. So the verb will be Pre-Greek. Note the forms λεπάγιον, λεπακινός, λέπασμα, λέπυρον, λεπύχανον, λέπρα, λώψ, λῶπος etc. The verb may be compared with ὀλόπτω and ὀλούφω, which would also point to a non-IE word.Page in Frisk: 2,105-107Greek-English etymological dictionary (Ελληνικά-Αγγλικά ετυμολογική λεξικό) > λέπω

3 λαγαίω
Grammatical information: v.Other forms: aor. λαγάσαι (Crete),Compounds: also with ἀπο-.Derivatives: ἀπολάγαξις `release' (Crete; on the formation Chantraine Form. 281, Bechtel Dial. 2, 746). - Several nouns, that do not directly depend from the verb: 1. λαγαρός `slack, emaciated, thin' (IA.) with λαγαρότης `slackness etc.', λαγαρόομαι `get slack' (AP) with λαγάρωσις (Eust.; of στίχοι λαγαροί). λαγαρίζομαι meaning unclear (com.); 2. λάγανον `thin cake' (hell.) with λαγάνιον (late) and λαγανίζω (?; Hp. Morb. Sacr. 13 ; cf. Kind Herm. 72, 368) ; 1. a. 2. first from a noun *λαγαρ \/ ν-? (vgl. Benveniste Origines 18; to the frequent nom. in - ανον Chantraine Form. 198 f.). A ν-suffix also in the semantically deviant 3. λάγνος (- νης; on the barytone acc. Schwyzer 489) `lascivious, voluptuous' with λαγνεύω `be lascivious, be lecherous', λαγνεία `the act of coition etc.' (IA.). 4. *λαγος (*λάξ) `slack, thin' in λαγόνες pl. f. (m..), rarely - ών sg. `the hollows on the side, the flanks' (IA.), also in λαγώς `hare' (s. v.).Origin: LW [a loanword which is (probably) not of Pre-Greek origin] Eur. substr.XEtymology: A direct agreement to *λαγος, if from *σλαγος (s. on λήγω) gives a Germ. adj. for `slack': Nord. slakr , OS slac, OE slæc etc.; here with anlaut. l- (= IE.) MLG. lak `id.', thus OIr. lacc `id.' (with expressive gg). The formal identity of λαγών and WNo. lake `flap', of λάγανον and OS lakan, OHG lahhan `cloth' rests on parallel innovations of the separate languages. - With λαγαρός we can directly compare Toch. A slākkär `sad'. Beside it with s-suffix Lat. laxus `slack, weak etc.'; also Skt. ślakṣṇá- `slippery, meagre, thin' (from *slakṣ- assim., Hendriksen IF 56, 27 f.)? - Disyllabic λαγά-σαι (: λαγαρός) has an example in the synonymous χαλά-σαι (: χαλαρός); λαγαίω is innovation like κεραίω, ἀγαίομαι (s. κεράννυμι and ἀγα-; diff. Specht Ursprung 325); besides NGr. (Cret.) λαγάζω, s. Schulze Kl. Schr. 354 n. 1. Cf. also on κλαδαρός. - With diff. ablaut here λήγω, λωγάνιον, λωγάς, s. vv. - As * slh₂g- would have given *slāg-, the form has not been explained; is it a Eur. substratum word?Page in Frisk: 2,68Greek-English etymological dictionary (Ελληνικά-Αγγλικά ετυμολογική λεξικό) > λαγαίω

4 σκέλλομαι
Grammatical information: v.Meaning: `to dry up, to wither, to languish, to grow tired, to harden', act. `to dry up, to parch'.Other forms: ( κατεσκέλλοντο A. Pr. 481, σκελλόμενα σκελετευόμενα H.), fut. 3 pl. σκελοῦνται σκελετισθήσονται H., perf. ἔσκληκα, mostly with κατα-, ἀπο-, ἐν- a. o. (Epich., Hp., Choeril., hell. a. late), aor. κατα-, ἀπο-σκλῆναι, 3. sg. ἀπ-έσκλη (Ar., Men., Alciphr.), opt. ἀπο-σκλαίῃ (Moer., H., Suid.); fut. 2. sg. ἀπο-σκλήσῃ (AP); few act. forms: aor. opt. σκήλειε (Ψ 191), subj. ἐνι-σκήλῃ (Nic. Th. 694), ind. ἔσκειλα (Zonar.)Derivatives: 1. σκελετός m. `dried up body, mummy, skeleton' (Phryn. Com., Pl. Com. [appositive], Phld., Str. etc.), as attribute `dried up' (Nic. Th. 696), with σκελετ-ώδης `mummy-like' (Luc., Erot.), - εύω ( κατα σκέλλομαι) `to mummify, to dry up, to parch' (Teles, Dsc. a. o.), - εύομαι ( κατα-) `to dry up, to languish' (Ar. Fr. 851, Isoc., Gal. a. o.), to which - εία (- ίη) f. `the drying up, withering' (Gal., Aret.), - ευμα n. `that which has withered' (sch.); - ίζομαι = - εύομαι (H., Zonar.). 2. σκελιφρός `dried up, meagre, slender' (Hp., Erot. [v.l. - εφρός]); cf. σκληφρός, στιφρός (untenable on σκελε-: σκελι- Specht Ursprung 126; s. also below). 3. σκληρός `hard, brittle, harsh, severe' (Hes., also Dor.) with σκληρ-ότης, - ύνω, - υσμα, - υσμός, - όομαι etc. 4. σκληφρός `slender, weak, small, thin' (Pl., Theopomp. Com.; also Arist.); in form and meaning influenced by ἐλα-φρός (cf. below). 5. - σκελής as 2. member referring to the verb after Schwyzer 513 (a noun *σκέλος `drought, emaciation, exhaustion; hardness, brittleness' is in any case not attested): περι-σκελής `very hard, brittle, inflexible' (Hp., S., hell. a. late) with περισκέλεια (- ία) f. `hardness, inflexibility' (Arist., medic., Porph.); κατασκελ-ής (: κατα-σκέλλομαι) `meagre' (of stile), `powerless, brittle' (D. H., Prol.); unclear ἀ-σκελής (Hom., Nic.), as adj. of people in ἀσκελέες καὶ ἄθυμοι (κ 463), approx. `powerless and despondent', elsewhere as adv. - ές, - έως of crying resp. be engry (δ 543; T 68 a. α 68), of suffering (Nic. Th. 278), approx. `incessantly, violently'. As ἀ- can be both privative and copulative and σκέλλομαι, ἔσκληκα refers both to fading away and to growing hard, diff. interpretations are thinkable (not convincing Bechtel Lex. s. v.; s. also above (Frisk) I 163 s. v. ἀσκελής and Bq w. lit.).Etymology: From the above survey we find a system ἔσκληκα: σκλῆναι like e.g. τέτλη-κα: τλῆ-ναι; to this the full grade yot-present σκέλλομαι as ἀνα-τέλλω. The aoristforms σκήλειε and ἐνι-σκήλῃ stand therefore for σκειλ- (\< σκελ-σ-), perh. as old analogy to σφήλειε a. o. (cf. Schwyzer 756 w. lit.). Other deviations are ἐσκληῶτες (A. R.), after τεθνηῶτες, ἑστηῶτες (cf. Kretschmer Glotta 3, 311 f.), ἀπο-σκλαίη after τεθναίη, σταίη a. o. Because of Dor. σκληρός, σκελε-τός (cf. ἔ-τλᾱν, τελα-μών) - αι- cannot be old. -- The verb has maintained itself best in the perf. ἔσκληκα, was however elsewhere as the ep. τέρσομαι, τερσαίνω by ξηραίνω, αὑαίνω pushed back and replaced. Of the few derivv. esp. the semant. emancipated σκληρός maintained itself. -- Nearer non-Greek cognates do not exist. From other languages have been adduced: Germ. NHG schal `faint, vapid', LG. also `dry, barren', MEngl. schalowe `faint, tired, shallow' (NEngl. shallow), Swed. skäll `meagre' (of the bottom), `thin, faint' (of food, soup, beer), `sourish' (of milk), PGm. * skala-, -i̯a-; without anl. s-: Latv. kàlss `meagre', kàlstu, kàlst `dry up'; Germ., e.g. LG. hal(l) `dry, meagre', NHG hellig `tired, exhausted (by thirst)', behelligen `tire, vex'; Toch. A kleps-, B klaiks- `dry up, languish' (v. Windekens Orbis 11, 342 f. with direct identification with σκελιφ-ρός, σκληφρός; dif. on this above.

5 ἀκιδνός
Grammatical information: adj.Meaning: `weak, small' (Od.).Derivatives: ἀκιδρωπάζω ἀμβλυωπῶ H.Origin: PG [a word of Pre-Greek origin]Etymology: Unexplained. The element - δν- may point to a substr. word. We find ἀκιδρός (Cyr.). Therefore Fur. 388 assumes a substr. word with ν\/ρ, though the interchange is rare (cf. πρόκνις). P. 360 he compares σκιδαρόν ἀραιόν (`thin, slender') H., which cannot be considered certain. One compares also ἀκιρός `weak' (Theoc.); cf. ἀκιρῆ ἀσθενῆ, οὐκ ἐπιτεταμένα H. and ἀκιρῶς εὐλαβῶς, ἀτρέμας H. ( ἀκιρός βορρᾶς H. cannot belong here).

6 μινύθω
Grammatical information: v.Meaning: `lessen, curtail', also trans. `reduce' (Il.).Other forms: μινυνθάνω PMich.); ipf. - ύθεσκον ( ἐμινύθει Hp.), fut. μινυθήσω, aor. - ῆσαι, perf. μεμινύθηκα (Hp.).Derivatives: Medical terms: μινύθ-ησις f. `waning', - ήματα pl. `what is lessening, dying members', - ώθης `weak, lessening' (Hp.; on the verbal derivation Chantraine Form. 431), - ικός `diminishing' (Cael. Aur.). -- Besides μίνυνθα adv. `(only) a short time' with μινυνθάδιος `lasting a short time' (Il.).Etymology: Built after the synonym φθινύθω, either from a νυ-present (: Lat. minu-ō, *φθίνϜ-ω) or from an adj. *μινύς ( βαρύθω: βαρύς), which seems preserved as 1. member in a few though late and rarely attested compp.: μινύ-ωρος, - ώριος `living a short time' (AP), μινύ-ζηον ὀλιγό-βιον H. Also in μίνυνθα one has supposed the same adj., i. e. in the acc. *μινύν (with - θα after the opposite δηθά a.o.) Osthoff MU 6, 232ff.; slight objections by Wackernagel Gött. Nachr. 1914, 106 = Kl. Schr. 2, 1163). An IE adj. * minu-s is also supposed by Lat. minu-ō, prob. also by minus (second. s-stem) and is assumed also for Celtic and Germanic. If we detract a suffixal - nu-, we can connect μείων etc. (s.v.). On a possible confusion with μάνυ, μανός `thin' s. Wackernagel Festgabe II. Jacobi [1926] 3 (= Kl.
