11 πόρις
πόρις, - ιοςGrammatical information: f.Meaning: `calf, heifer', metaph. `young girl' (ep. κ 410); beside it πόρταξ f. `id.' (P 4) after δέλφαξ, σκύλαξ a.o.Derivatives: πορτι-τρόφος `feeding calves' (h. Ap., B.); πορ-τάκινον (- ιον?) μοσχίον, πορτάζει (- ακίζει?) δαμαλίζεται H.Origin: XX [etym. unknown]Etymology: Formation like τρόπις, τρόχις, κόρις a.o. (Solmsen Wortforsch. 160, Schwyzer 462); with πόρτις cf. μάντις, δόμορτις a.o. (Schw. 271 a. 504 n. 3). With πόρτις Arm. ort` `calf' can be identical except for the stemauslaut (gen. etc. ort`-u); on Gr. τ for IE *th (= Arm. t') cf. cases like πλατύς and ὀστέον. One has compared Skt. pr̥thu-ka- m. `young, child, young animal', but the connection with ort', πόρτις is doubted by Mayrhofer s. v. (s. also id. Sprache 7, 180 f.) with Brugmann on good grounds. A further cognate is supposed in Germ. in MHG verse, NHG Färse f. `young cow' (PGm. *fársī \< IE *pór-s-ī ), to which further also OHG far, farro, OE fearr m. ` Farre, younger bull' (PGm. *farzá(n)- \< IE *por-s-ó-). The word may belong to the IE verb for `give birth' (prop. `bring forth') in Lat. pariō (WP. 2, 41, Pok. 818, W.-Hofmann s. v.). It has been connected also with πορεῖν etc. (s. v.).
