  • 22 σχελίς

    Grammatical information: f.
    Meaning: meaning vacillating, approx. `rib of beef, thigh-bone, side of bacon', after H. = τὸ ἀπὸ τῆς ῥάχεως ἕως τοῦ ὑπογαστρίου, also = κρέα ἐπιμήκη τετμημένα.
    Other forms: mostly pl. - ίδες (A. Fr. 443 = 724 M.[?], com., Luc., Poll.); σκελίς, pl. - ίδες (pap. IIIa, D. Chr., Poll.).
    Origin: PG [a word of Pre-Greek origin] (V)
    Etymology: Generally taken to σκέλος, semant. not impossible, but certainly not correct; the aspirated form would have to be secondary (Hiersche Ten. asp. 217). As however in σκέλος the writing σκ- is fixed ( σχέλος only in an inscr. Delos IIIa), the aspirate in σχελίς, not counting the oldest attestations, is surprising. Then σκελίδες innovation after σκέλος? -- The variation is the one usual in Pre-Greek (not in Furnée).

  • 32 Virtue

       First, virtue is ultimately one, not many, and it is always the same ideal form regardless of climate or culture.
       Second, the name of this ideal form is justice.
       Third, not only is the good one, but virtue is knowledge of the good. He who knows the good chooses [not] the bad.
       Fourth, the kind of knowledge of the good which is virtue is philosophical knowledge or intuition of the ideal form of the good, not correct opinion or acceptance of conventional beliefs. (Socrates, quoted in Kohlberg, 1971, p. 232)

  • 40 οὖς

    Grammatical information: n.
    Meaning: `ear'; metaph. `handle'(Il.; IA).
    Other forms: ὦς (Theoc., hell.). Gen. ὠτός, nom. acc. pl. ὦτα etc. (IA.), οὔατος, - ατα etc., with n. a. sg. οὖας (Simon.); besides ἆτα (cod. ἄτα) ὦτα. Ταραντῖνοι H.; prob. also sg. αὖς (Paul. Fest. 100, 4; Wackernagel IF 45, 312ff. = Kl. Schr. 2, 1252ff.); further details on the inflexion in Schwyzer 520.
    Dialectal forms: Myc. anowoto; also anowe like ἀμφ-ώης `with two ears or handles' (Theoc.; ἄμφ-ωτος Od.).
    Compounds: Compp., e.g. ὠτ-ακουστέω `to eavesdrop, to listen, to attend' (Hdt., X., D., Plb.), compound of ὠτὶ ἀκουστόν (opposite ἀν-ηκουστέω: οὑκ ἀκουστόν; cf. ἀμνηστέω and Schwyzer 726; not correct Fraenkel Nom. ag. 2, 68), with ὠτακουστής m. `eavesdropper, listener' (Arist.); ἀν-ούατος `without ears, without handles' (Theoc.), ἄ-ωτος `id.' (Philet., Plu.); μυόσ-ωτ-ον ( μύ-ωτον) n., - ίς f. "mouse-ear" (the plant) `madwort, Asperugo', from μυὸς ὦτα `id.' (Dsc.; Strömberg Pfl.namen 42). On λαγώς s. v.

Hes. for ὠτώεις to be reconstructed; Wackernagel Unt. 168f.), ὠτ-ικός `belonging to the ear' (Gal., Dsc.). Also ὠτ-ίς, - ίδος f. `bustard' (X., Arist.; after the cheek-plumes or the tuft?; Thompson Birds s.v.); besides ὦτ-ος m. `eared owl' (Arist.; after the ear-plumes). -- On ἐνῴδιον, ἐνώτιον s. v.
    Origin: IE [Indo-European] [785] *h₂(e\/o)us- `ear'.
    Etymology: The pair οὖς, ὦς (cf. βοῦς, βῶς) can be derived from IE * ōus; Lat. aur-is, aus-cultō a.o. contain an e-grade (* h₂eus-), which may also be found in ἆτα from *αὔσ-ατα; s. also on ἀάνθα. To be noted old Att. ΟΣ, which seems to point to a contraction; one wanted to construct (since J. Schmidt Pluralbild. 407) a basis * ous-os, for which a support was seen in OCS ucho n. `ear', gen. ušes-e ; but it is also possible to read ὦς (after ὠτός etc.). The other forms can without problem be derived from IE * ōus-n-tos etc. with diff. phonetic developments, s. the extensive treatment in Schwyzer 520 a. 348, WP. 1,18 w. rich lit. The in οὔ-α-τος incorporated n-enlargement is also found in Arm. un-kn (with -kn after akn `eye'; so not comparable with ὠκίδες ἐνώτια H.) and in Germ., e.g. Goth. auso, ausin-s. -- From the further forms are especially notable the old duals Av. uš-i (IE * h₂us-ī, with zero grade); OCS uš-ī (IE * h₂us-ī ).
