(diels

Grammatical information: adj.

Meaning: in προ-θέλυμνος, τετρα-θέλυμνος; προ-θέλυμνος adjunct of δένδρεα (Ι 541), of χαῖται (Κ 15), of σάκος (Ν 130); posthom. of diff. objects ( δρῦς, καρήατα); - τετρα-θέλυμνος adjunct of σάκος (Ο 479 = χ 122); cf. τριθέλυμνος = τρίπτυχος Eust. 849, 5.

Origin: PG [a word of Pre-Greek origin]

Etymology: A the simplex is unknown, Sturz read it in Emp. 21,6 for tradit. θελημ(ν)ά (Diels a. o. θελεμνά). With προ-θέλυμνος cf. πρό-ρριζος `of which the root is gone, uprooted', Lat. prŏ-fundus `of which the bottom is gone (removed), deep', Skt. pra-parṇa- `whose leaves have fallen off, stripped of the leaves'. As the sec. member of προ-θέλυμνος, which can be reconstructed as well as *θέλυμα as as *θελυμνον (- ος), is interpreted as `basis', προ-θέλυμνος would mean `whose basis (bottom) is gone, removed (from its fundament)', what might fit for all occurrences except Ν 130 (after it Nonn. D. 22, 183; 2, 374). Improbable Wackernagel Unt.. 237ff. (criticism of older views) who wans to see in it a variant of τετρα-θέλυμνος `with four layers', with προ- as the Aeolic parallel of τρα- from *πτϜρα- (cf. τρά-πεζα) (impossible as the word is non-IE). - The glosses of H ἀθέλιμνοι κακοί; ἀθέλημον ἄκουσμα κακόν are unclear; id. for θέλεμνον ὅλον ἐκ ῥιζῶν (Latte in Mayrhofer KEWA. 2, 94A.). As the place in Empedokles is unclear, we can only use the compp. Connection with Sanskrit dharúṇam n. in Mayrhofer is also impossible (as the word is Pre-Greek). - Krahe Die Antike 15, 181 thinks the word is Pre-Greek, which is without a doubt correct (suff. (- υμνος).

Trall.) `Eryngium maritimum, sea-holly'; - διλέα `excrements of the κροκ. χερσαῖος', used as eye-salve (Plin.). Acc. to Hdt. 2, 69 properly Ionic name of a lizard, then transferred to the crocodile and the alligator.

Origin: ??

Etymology: Perh as popular word prop. "Kieswurm", from κρόκη `gravel' and δρῖλος `worm' with dissimilation. Extensively Diels and Brugmann IF 15, 1ff., also Solmsen BphW 1906, 758f.; there also on the itacistic writing - ει- and other variants. - After Grumach OLZ 1931, 1012 however Pre-Greek (rejected by Kretschmer Glotta 22, 261).

Grammatical information: f.

Meaning: 1. `pyramid' (Hdt. a.o.). 2. `kind of cake of roasted wheat-grains preserved in honey' (Ephipp.), mostly πυραμοῦς, - οῦντος m. (Ar., Ephipp., Call. a.o.), also πυραμοί pl. m. (Artem.); after H. πύραμος also = χόρτος.

Derivatives: Besides πυράμη f. `sickle' (sch.), backformation from πυρᾱμητός m. `wheat-harvest' (Arist. a.o.). πυραμιδο-ειδής `pyramidal' (Epicur.), usu. haplolog. πυραμο-ειδής `id.' (Thphr. a.o.), - ιδικός `id.' (Iamb.).

Origin: GR [a formation built with Greek elements]

Etymology: In the sense of `cake' from πυρός `wheat' after σησαμ-ίς, - οῦς. After Diels KZ 47, 193 ff. (w. lit. and uncorrect formal analysis) the Egypt. pyramids were named after the (though unknown) form of the cake; on this Kretschmer Glotta 10, 243.

Further adj. - ιαῖος `measuring one row' (Att. inscr.), - ικός (late); adv. - ηδόν (Arist. etc.), - ηδίς (Theognost.) `line by line'. Verbs: 1. στοιχ-έω (because of the meaning hardly deverbative with Schwyzer 720), also w. περι-, συν- a. o., `to form a row, to stand in file and rank, to match, to agree, to be content, to follow' (X., Att. inscr., Arist. hell. a. late); - ούντως `matching, consequent' (Galatia, Aug. time). 2. - ίζω, often w. περι-, also δια-, κατα-, `to arrange in a line, to order' (A.

Origin: IE [Indo-European] [1017] * steigh- `stride'

Etymology: Old inherited group with several representatives also in other idg. languages. 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). A deviant meaning is also shown by the full grade yot-present Lit. steig-iù, inf. steĩg-ti `found, raise', also (obsolete) `hurry'; on this Fraenkel s. v. -- Further several nouns, esp. in Germ.: OHG steg m. ` Steg, small bridge', OWNo. stig n. `step' from PGm. * stiga-z, -n, IE * stigh-o-s (= στίχος), - o-m; OE stige -n. `going up, down' (i-stem from older rootnoun = στίχ-ες?). With oi-ablaut Alb. shtek `transit, entrance, road, hair-parting' (= στοῖχος), thus Goth. staiga, OHG steiga f. `mountain-path, road', Latv. staiga f. `course', cf. Lith. adv. staigà `suddenly' (would be Gr. *στοιχή) etc., s. WP. 2, 614 f., Pok. 1017 f., also W.-Hofmann s. vestīgium w. further forms a. lit.

Meaning: surname of Dionysos, arisen from the cry ( Ἴακχε), with which the community greeted the god on the Lenaia, also name of the festive song (Hdt., S., Ar.); by the tyrant Dionysios used as χοῖρος (because of the ἰαχεῖν of big; Wackernagel KZ 33, 48 = Kl. Schr. 1, 727); after that as name of the pudendum muliebre (s. H. Diels bei Kretschmer Glotta 1, 385).
