22 ἔχθος
Grammatical information: n.Meaning: `hatred, enmity' (Il.).Compounds: As 2. member in φιλ-εχθής `who is prone to hate' (Theoc. 5, 137),.Derivatives: ἐχθρός `hated' (thus always in Hom.), `hateful', m. `enemy' (Hes., Pi.); with ἐχθίων, ἔχθιστος (A. resp. Il.); ἔχθρα, ion. - ρη f. `hate, enmity' (Ion.-Att., Pi.; on the formation Chantraine Formation 226). - Verbs: ἔχθομαι, only present-stem, `be hated' (Od.), act. ἔχθω `hate' (trag.); ἀπ-εχθάνομαι (β 202), aor. ἀπ-εχθέσθαι (Il.), fut. ἀπ-εχθήσομαι (Hdt.), late present ἀπ-έχθομαι (Theoc., Lyc.) `make oneself hated' with ἀπεχθής `hated' (S., D.), ἀπέχθεια `be hated, hate' (Att.), ἀπέχθημα `object of hate' (E. Tr. 425; cf. Chantraine Formation 177f.); ἐχθαίρω, aor. ἐχθῆραι, also with ἀπ-, ὑπερ-, συν-, `hate' (Il.); ἐχθραίνω, aor. ἐχθρᾶναι (X.) `be enemy, hate' with ἔχθρασμα ἔχθρα H.; ἐχθρεύω `be enemy' (LXX, Phld.).Origin: IE [Indo-European] [292] *h₁eǵʰs-to- `outsider'Etymology: The relation of the words cited is not always clear. Clearly ἐχθραίνω and ἐχθρεύω are late derivations of ἐχθρός; much older ἐχθαίρω is also a denominative of ἐχθρός (Schwyzer 725). Also ἀπ-εχθάνομαι could with r:n-interchange be related to ἐχθρός (Benveniste Origines 16), though it could as well be a nasal enlargement of ἔχθομαι, ἀπ-εχθέσθαι (Schwyzer 700, Chantraine Gramm. hom. 1, 315f..). ἔχθομαι is acc. to Schwyzer 725 a backformation from ἐχθαίρω, but it is better connected to ἔχθος like σθένω to σθένος (Schwyzer 723). - More difficult is the interpretation of ἔχθος and ἐχθρός, for which cf. αἶσχος: αἰσχρός, κῦδος: κυδρός. If we start from ἐχθρός and consider ἔχθος with ἔχθομαι, ἐχθίων, ἔχθιστος as innovations, perhaps after κυδρός, κυδίων, κύδιστος, τὸ κῦδος, we can connect ἐχθρός with Lat. extrā `outside', exterus `being outside', and so also with ἐχθός = ἐκτός `outside' (Leumann Hom. Wörter 158 n. 1 with Keil Hermes 25, 601, s. also Pisani Ist. Lomb. 73: 2, 30; against this Wackernagel KZ 31, 41 = Kl. Schr. 1, 720); ἐχθρός then would be prop. `outside, being in foreign territory, foreigner, enemy'; cf. Lat. hostis. - More in Bq, Seiler Steigerungsformen 77f., W.-Hofmann s. ex, Pok. 292f.

(where unclear Arm. k`ac̣ax `vinegar' is discussed). Denomin. verb ἡδύνω `sweeten, make tasteful, spice' (IA.) with ἥδυσμα, - μάτιον `spice' (Ion.-Att.), ἡδυσμός, ἡδυν-τός, - τικός, - τήρ `spiced etc.' (also from salt).Etymology: Old word for `sweet', identical with Skt. svādú-, Gaul. Suadu-rīx, - genus, IE *sueh₂dú-s; also Lat. suāvis, Germ., e. g. OHG suozi, OE. swēte `sweet'. The full grade perhaps from the comparative ἡδίων, Skt. svā́dīyas- (also ἥδιστος = svā́diṣṭha-).

25 θάρσος
Grammatical information: n.Meaning: `confidence, courage, audacity' (Il.)Other forms: Att. θάρρος (partly a reshaping of hom. θάρσος etc. after Leumann Hom. Wörter 115), Aeol. θέρσος n.Compounds: Compp., e. g. εὑ-θαρσής `of good courage' (A.), θερσι-επής `talking courageously' (B.; on the 1. member Schwyzer 448).Derivatives: θαρσαλέος, - ρρ- `with confidence, courageous' (Il.; on the formation Chantraine Formation 253f.), Θερσίτης PN (Hom. etc.; Redard Les noms grecs en - της 196; cf Risch Gnomon 23, 160 and Bloch Mus. Helv. 12, 59), θαρσήεις `courageous' (Call., Nonn.; innovation, s. Schwyzer 527); denomin. verb θαρσέω, - ρρ-, aor. θαρσῆσαι `be courageous' (Il.; cf. Schwyzer 724, Chantraine Gramm. hom. 1, 349; hardly with Leumann l. c. from εὑθαρσέω with θαρρητικός (Arist.).Etymology: Beside θάρσος, θέρσος we have θρασύς `audacious, courageous, bold' (since Il.), often as 1. member, e. g. θρασυκάρδιος `with audacious heart' (Il.), Rhod. Θαρσύ-βιος, Ther. Θhαρ(ρ)ύ-μαqhος (cf. Bechtel KZ 51, 145; more forms in Schwyzer 284; on the short names are based Θρασύλος also Leumann Glotta 32, 216 and 223 n. 2); from it θρασύτης `boldness' (IA), Θρασώ surn. of Athena (Lyc.), denomin. verb θρασύνω, θαρσύνω, - ρρ- `encourage' (Il.) with θάρσυνος `with confidence' (Il.; best postverbal; cf. Schwyzer 491 and diff. interpretations); comp. θρασίων (Alcm.), θρασύτερος, - ύτατος (Att.); Seiler Steigerungsformen 55f. - Cf. also ἀτάσθαλος. With θρασύς agrees Skt. dhr̥sú- (gramm.); liter. is dhr̥ṣṇú- `bold' after dhr̥ṣ-ṇ-ó-ti `be audacious'. Full grade θέρσος, for which sec. θάρσος, θράσος through influence of θρασύς, has however in Skt. no agreement (one finds dhárṣa-; would be Gr. *θόρσος). On the other hand Greek replaced the primary verbs by the newly formed θαρσέω, θαρσύνω: Skt. dhr̥ṣ-ṇ-ó-ti, dhárṣati with the perf. da-dhárṣa = Germ., e. g. Goth. ga-dars `τολμῶ' (wold be Gr. *τέ-θορσ-α), Lith. (with infixed nasal) drį̃sti `dare' (\< IE *dhr̥-n-s-), with analog. present dręsù with the nouns drąsà `boldness', OLith. drįsùs (after drį̃sti.

26 καλός
Grammatical information: adj.Meaning: `beautiful, noble, good' (Il.); on the meaning Smothers Traditio 5 (1947) 1-57, also Kretschmer Glotta 22, 261.Other forms: Primary comp. καλλίων (Alc. ntr. κάλιον [s. below], El. καλιτερος [graphic?], rarely καλώτερος, καλλιώτερος), κάλλιστος; Dor. adv. (Alcm. 98) καλλά; cf. Wackernagel Unt. 87f.Dialectal forms: ep. Ion. κᾱλός, Boeot. καλϜοςCompounds: As 1. member rare (for καλλι-, εὑ-), e. g. καλό-φυλλος `with beautiful leaves' (Thphr.; after μακρό-, λειό-φυλλος etc.); as 2. member e. g. ἀπειρό-καλος `not knowing what is beautiful' (Pl.; from τὸ καλόν). Note esp. καλοκἀγαθία (orators, X.), univerbating abstract of καλὸς κ(αὶ) ἀγαθός (IA.; see Berlage Mnemos. 60, 20ff.)Derivatives: καλότης `beauty' (Chrysipp. Stoic. 3, 60). - With geminate: 1. κάλλος n. `beauty' (Il.), as 2. member e. g. in περι-καλλής `very beautiful' (Il., bahuvrihi); from there κάλλιμος `beautiful' (Od., h. Hom.; after κύδιμος, s. Arbenz Die Adj. auf - ιμος 10ff.), καλλύνω `give beauty, make beautiful, sweep' (S., Pl., Arist.) with καλλυντής `sweeper' (pap. IIa), κάλλυντρον `broom', also name of a shrub (Arist.), κάλλυνθρον `duster' (LXX, pap.), καλλυντήρια n. pl. name of a purification feast (Phot., EM), καλλύσματα pl. `dust' (Keos). Fom κάλλος further καλλονή `id.' (cf. ἡδονή), καλλοσύνη `id.' (E.). - 2. compar. καλλίων, κάλλιστος (Il.); from there καλλιόομαι `be made more beautiful' (LXX), καλλιστεύω, - ομαι `be the most beautiful' (Ion.) with καλλιστεῖον, καλλίστευμα `sacrifice of the most beautiful, price of beauty, price of honour' (S., E., inscr.). - 3. καλλι- as 1. member (Il.); e. g. καλλι-γύναικ-α, - ος, -ι `with beutiful women' (cf. Sommer Nominalkomp. 62), also in PN, from where short names like Καλλίας etc.Origin: XX [etym. unknown]Etymology: From Att. κᾰλός and Ion. κᾱλός, both from καλϜός (see Sommer Nominalkomp. 59 n. 3), deviate the noun κάλλος, the compar. forms καλλίων, κάλλιστος and the 1. member καλλι- through the gemination. An explanation is still wanting. The for κάλλος (and καλλίων, κάλλιστος, cf. Benveniste Origines 84; analogical καλλι- ?) proposed basis *κάλ-νος or *κάλ-ι̯ος (hardly to Skt. kalya-, s. below) do not inspire confidence, as κάλλος seems a Greek innovation; cf. Chantraine Formation 416f. The assumpion of an expressive gemination (Chantraine) is possible, but is only an emergency solution. For καλλι- too there is no good explanation. Beside καλ-Ϝός with old u̯o-suffix one would expect as 1. member καλι- (retained in κάλιον [Alc.]?), which Wackernagel KZ 61, 191ff. (= Kl. Schr. 1, 352ff.) finds back in Skt. kaly-ā́ṇa- `beautiful' (prop. `with beautiful arms, λευκώλενος'?; cf. on ὠλένη); rejected by Mayrhofer Wb. s. kalyaḥ1). After Schwyzer 447 n. 6 καλλ- would come from antevocalic *καλι̯-, from where καλλι- and as backformation κάλλος etc. Diff. Risch par. 62a: - λλ- from a comparative *κάλλων \< *καλι̯ων, from where κάλλιστος etc.? Similarly Seiler Steigerungsformen 68ff.: a comp. ntr. *κάλλον \< *κάλι̯ον was considered as positive and resulted in κάλλιον, καλλίων (from where κάλλιστος etc.). - The only non-Greek comparison is Skt. kalyā́ṇa-, with ep. class. kalya- `robust, prepared'. The Germanic words, ONo. hǫldr and OHG helid `warrior, Held' must be kept separated.Page in Frisk: 1,766-767Greek-English etymological dictionary (Ελληνικά-Αγγλικά ετυμολογική λεξικό) > καλός

Seiler Steigerungsformen 84.Origin: IE [Indo-European]X [probably] [579], PGX [probably a word of Pre-Greek origin] * kerd- `gain, clever, cunning'Etymology: The only connections outside Greek are a few Celtic words: OIr. cerd (IE. * kerdā) `art, handwork', also `aerarius, figulus, poeta', Welsh cerdd `song'. - The doubtful H.-glosse κήρτεα τὰ κέρδη does hardly allow conclusions for the morphology (cf.

The s-stem Thieme Der Fremdling im RV 158f. saw in the dark riśā́das-, acc. to Th. `caring for the foreigner'. One adduces further a few nouns in Italic, Celtic and Germanic: Osc. cadeis `malevolentiae' (gen. sg.), Celt., e. g. MIr. caiss `hate', also `love' (prop. *`care'?), Welsh. cawdd `offensa, ira, indignatio', Germ., e. g. Goth. hatis n. `hate, anger'. The Germanic words all go back on a zero grade s-stem, IE. * kh₂dos- (cf. κεκαδήσομαι); the other forms are ambiguous. There is no parallel to κήδομαι in the other languages. Cf. on κεκαδών(?).

But ἐγκρατέω from ἐγ-κρατής, ναυ-κρατέω, - τία from ναυ-κρατής etc.; s. above. καρταίνειν κρατεῖν H. -- 8. On κρατευταί s. v.Etymology: With the full grade in Aeol. κρέτος interchanges regularly the zero grade in κρατύς, κάρτα (on ρα: αρ Schwyzer 342). Through analogy arose both κράτος, κάρτος and the compp. κάρρων \< *κάρσ(σ)ων \< *κάρτι̯ων and κάρτων beside the old fullgrade κρέσσων \< *κρέτι̯ων; details in Seiler Steigerungsformen 53 ff. A zero grade of the σ-stem in κρέτος is supposed in Κρεσ-φόντης ( \< *Κρετσ-; Kretschmer Glotta 24, 237, Heubeck Beitr. z. Namenforsch. 5, 26). - The relation of the forms is not always clear. The adjective κρατερός, καρτερός may conrain a alternating ρ-stem (Benveniste Origines 17, Leumann Hom. Wörter 115), if it is not an analogical innovation to κράτος, κρατέω (e.g. Schwyzer 482). The form Κρατι-, Καρτι-, which appears only in PN, will not be old (like e.g. in κυδι-άνειρα: κῦδος), but rest on analogy (after Άλκι-, Καλλι- a. o.; Frisk Nom. 70). On κάρτα cf. e.g. τάχα, ἅμα. The 1. member κραται- may have been built after παλαι- a. o.; and κραταιός after παλαιός? (cf. Schwyzer 448). Diff. Risch 117: κραταιός back formation to κραταιή for *κράταια, fem. to κρατύς ( Πλαταιαί: πλατύς). Also κρατέω is discussed. Against the obvious explanation as denominative of κράτος (Schwyzer 724; κρατῆσαι only posthom.) see Leumann Hom. Wörter 113ff.; he assumes in κρατέω a backformation to ἐπικρατέω from ἐπι-κρατής (Hom. only adv. ἐπικρατέως). Again diff. Specht KZ 62, 35 ff. - An exact agreement to κράτος etc. is not found. Close are Skt. krátu- m. `power, mind, will', Av. xratu- m. `id.'. The objections that the Indo-Ir. word indicates primarily spiritual qualities ar refuted by OE cræft ` Kraft, physical strength, power', also `insight, craft etc.'. The Germanic word for `hard', Got. hardus etc., which is usually adduced, differs in vowel (IE *kortú- against *kr̥tú- to * kret-). - Cf.

As in other words (Schwyzer 526) the ντ-inflexion (after ἄρχων, μέδων a. o.) may have replaced an older ν-stem. As ep. κρείων can have metr. lengthening for κρέων, it can be identified with an Indo-Iran. comparative, Av. srayah-, Skt. śréyas- (e sec. for a). The basis was a noun, Av. srī-, Skt. śrī- f. `magnificence, riches, splendour, fame'.

In Germanic the word lives on in OWNo. mjǫk `very', PGm. *meḱu, with secondary -u after * felu, Goth. filu `many' (s. πολύς).

Schr. 671).Origin: PG [a word of Pre-Greek origin]Etymology: On σμικρος (older) and μικρός with unexplained initial change Schwyzer 310f.; the ρ-suffix may come from the opposite μακρός (cf. Güntert Reimwortbildungen 160); diff. Bloomfield Lang. 1, 94: μικ-ρό-ς: μικ-υ-θός old ro: u-variation[improbable, s. below]. Through expressive gemination arose μικκός, and to this, with normal simplification of the κ, μικός. -- Without agreement outside Greek. One can compare on the one hand Lat. mīca `crumb, corn, a little' (might stand for * smīk-ā), on the other hand Germ. words for `small' with IE ē-vowel, e.g. OHG smāhi `small, little, low' with smāhen `reduce', NHG schmähen; one might bring together these forms under IE smē[i]k-: smīk-. Further there are adj. for `graceful, elegant' with IE g, e.g. OE smicre `elegant, nice', Lith. su-smìžęs `small, crippled'. The varying form is with a word of this meaning not surprising; on the symbolic character of the i (against α in μακρός) Sieberer Sprache 2, 118 n. 73 (p. 119).-- The connection with the comparativ μείων, with the κ taken from the opposite μακρός (Seiler Steigerungsformen 115), fails because of the clearly older σμικρός, which cannot be combined with μείων (to Skt. minā́ti `reduce' etc.). -- More material WP. 2, 685f., Pok. 966f., W.-Hofmann s. mīca. - The varying initial points rather to a Pre-Greek word.Page in Frisk: 2,236-237Greek-English etymological dictionary (Ελληνικά-Αγγλικά ετυμολογική λεξικό) > μῑκρός

Op. 462, com., Thphr.), early connected with νέος `new', if not even derived from it, cf. on νέος; νεατός m. `working of fallow land' (X. Oik. 7, 20; like ἀλοατός), νέασις f. `id.' (Thphr.) with νεάσιμος (Gloss.; Arbenz 87).Etymology: If νειόθεν, νείατος, νείαιρα are at all cognate with νειός, νειός (sc. γῆ, χώρα), it must have meant prop. *'lying low, lowlying plain'; the meaning `fallow land', which is also possible for Homer, but not compulsory (rather `field, plain' ?), could rest on the early connection with νέος `new'; cf. Lat. novalis, -e `fallow land'. -- Except for the ending νειός \< *νειϜός can be identical with a Slavic word fur `field', e.g. OCS njiva (with dark nj-), Russ. níva f., IE *neiu̯ó-s (Slav. -ā secondary); Fick BB 1, 335f., Schulze KZ 27, 603f. (= Kl. Schr. 373f.). If we separate a formantic u̯o-element, we can connect the IE adv. *ni `low' in Skt. ní etc.; here a.o. OHG ni-dar `to below', OE neowol `slanting' from * ni-wol (cf. νει-Ϝό-ς). The writing νη- in νήϊστος, νήατος is not convincingly explained. As old lengthened grade, esp. in a superlative, is very improbable, the η must be secondary.

(E.; Chantraine Form. 146), κατοίκτ-ισις f. `wailing, compassion' (X.).Origin: ONOM [onomatopoia, and other elementary formations].Etymology: Like ὀϊζύς, with comp. meaning, also οἶκτος prob. goes back on the interj. οι, through οἴζω; the close connection appears from the backformation δυσοίζω (s. v.) from δύσ-οικτος. Prellwitz s. v., also Schwyzer 501. Comparable nouns from interjective verbs in - ζω are frequent, e.g. αἴαγμα, αἰακτός (: αἰάζω, αἰαῖ), βάβαξ, βαβάκτης (: βαβάζω, βαβαί) etc., s. Schwyzer 716. Cf. οἰμώζω. -- Doubtful non-Greek combinations (Goth. aihtron `beg', OIr. ar-égi `complains') in Bq, WP. 1, 105 f., Pok. 298. -- On οἶκτος and related words in gen.. s. W. Burkert Zum altgr.
