1 μορμώ
μορμώ, - οῦςGrammatical information: f.Meaning: `bogey, spectre', also personified and as interjection (Erinn. [?], Ar., X., Theoc., Luc.);Derivatives: μορμωτός `frightful' (Lyc.); μορμ-ύσσομαι `frighten' (Call.; for μαρμολύττομαι metri causa?, Debrunner IF 21, 243), μορμύξαν-τες (Phryg. IVp), also μορμύνει and μορμύρει δεινοποιεῖ H. Further the nouns μόρμορος and μύρμος φόβος, μόρμη χαλεπή, ἐκπληκτική H. PN Μόρμυθος (like Γοργώ: Γόργυθος, Leumann Hom. Wörter 155 n. 129); here also ther PN Μυρμιδόνες ? -- Enlarged verbform μορμολύττομαι = μορμύσσομαι (Ar., Pl.. X., Ph.), μορμολυξάμενος (Gal.) with μορμολύκ-η, Dor. -α f. (Sophr. 9, Str.), - ειον (- εῖον) n. (Ar., Pl. u.a.) = μορμώ; also μορμορύζω `id.' (Phot.).Origin: PG [a word of Pre-Greek origin]Etymology: Because of μύρμηξ: Lat. formīca one might want to connect, μορμ-ώ through an analogous dissimilation with Lat. form-īdō `ghost'. Further ucertain; prob. like Γοργώ (s. γοργός) a reduplicated fornation, which was used originally as terrorizing call (of childrens language?, cognate with μορμύρω etc. ? WP. 2, 308). The by-forms Μομβρώ, Μομμώ (H.) show the popular character. From the interjection the as demon interpreted Μορμώ may have arisen, from there the appellative. On Μορμώ in the Middle Ages and in recent times Wiener Roman. Forsch. 35, 943 ff. (lingu. unsatistactory, s. Kretschmer Glotta 10, 234 f.). -- Beside μορμώ there was not only μορμύσσομαι, - ύνει, - ύρει, but also μορμο-λύττομαι, - λύκη, - λύκειον; on the expressive λ-enlargement cf. πομφόλυξ, πομφο-λύξαι (: πομφός), βδελύττομαι (beside βδελυρός: βδέω). Dissimilation from *μορμορύττομαι (cf. μόρμορος; Schwyzer 258) is also imaginable. The nouns μορμολύκη, - ειον are rather backfomations. - A connection with Lat. form-ido etc. seems not obious. The words may well be Pre-Greek.Page in Frisk: 2,255Greek-English etymological dictionary (Ελληνικά-Αγγλικά ετυμολογική λεξικό) > μορμώ

17 γοργός
Grammatical information: adj.Meaning: `grim, fierce, terrible' of look, gaze (A.), later also `vigorous'Derivatives: γοργότης `rapidity' (Hermog.), γοργία = agilitas (Gloss.), denom. γοργόομαι `be spirited', of horses (X.), γοργεύω (pap., Sm., H.). - Γοργώ, - οῦς f. (Il.) name of a female monster with petrifying look, with Γοργ-είη κεφαλή (Il.; form. s. Schulze Q. 254); pl. mostly. Γοργόνες (Hes.), with new singulars Γοργόνα (acc.) etc. (E.), with Γοργόνειος (A. Pr. 793 etc.), Γοργόνη (Hdn.), Γοργονώδης (Sch.) and the plant names Γοργόνειον and Γοργονιάς (Ps.-Dsc.; s. Strömberg Pflanzennamen 101). - Also Γοργάδες (S. Fr. 163), by H. explained as ἁλιάδες; and Γοργίδες αἱ Ώκεανίδες H. - PN Γοργυθίων Θ 302 (form.?) and Γοργίας with Γοργίειος `Gorgias-like' (X.) and γοργιάζω `speak like G.' (Philostr.).Origin: XX [etym. unknown]Etymology: Osthoff Etym. parerga 1, 44ff. connected OIr. garg(g) `raw, wild', OCS groza `shiver') and Pedersen KZ 39, 379 (Arm. karcr `hard'). Leumann Hom. Wörter 154f. thinks it is a backformation from γοργώψ ( γοργῶπις), γοργωπός (A.); so Γοργὡ would be the basis, which like Μορμώ seems a popular reduplicated formation; accepted by DELG.Page in Frisk: 1,321-322Greek-English etymological dictionary (Ελληνικά-Αγγλικά ετυμολογική λεξικό) > γοργός

18 μύρμηξ
μύρμηξ, - ηκοςGrammatical information: m.Meaning: `ant'; metaph. `submarine rocks' (IA, Lyc.), also as PN (Hdt.), on the meaning cf. μυρμηκία; `gantlet with metal studs' (Poll.).Compounds: Rare compp., e.g. μυρμηκο-λέων (LXX), λεοντο-μύρμηξ (Hdn. Gr.) name of a fabulous animal; cf. Risch IF 59, 256.Derivatives: 1. μυρμηκ-ιά f. `ant-hill' (Arist., Thphr.), metaph. `crowd' ( Com. Adesp., H.), `triller, arpeggio' (Pherecr.). -- 2. μυρμηκ-ία `wart under the skin, irritation caused by it (Hp., Ph.) with μυρμηκιάω `be afflicted with warts' (LXX.), from which - ίασις (medic.). On 1. a. 2. s. Scheller Oxytonierung 41 f. -- 3. μυρμήκ-(ε)ιον n. name of an ant-like spider (Nic., Plin.). -- 4. μυρμηκ-ίας λίθος `stone with ant- or wart-like lumps on it' (Plin.), μύρμηξ χρυσός `gold dug out by μύρμηκες' (Hld.). -- 5. - ῖτις ( λίθος) `id.' (Plin.). -- 6. μυρμηκ-ώδης `ant-like' (Plu.), - ώεις `full of warts' (Marc. Sid.; metr. lengthened from - όεις, cf. Schwyzer 527). -- 7. μυρμηκ-ίζω as medic. expression `feel as though ants were running under the finger', of the pulse, `itch' (medic.). -- On itself stands μυρ-μηδών ξυνοικία τῶν μυρμήκων, μυρμηδόνες οἱ μύρμηκες ὑπὸ Δωριέων H., transformation of μύρμηξ resp. derivation from μύρμος (s. above) after τενθρηδών and other insectnames; cf. also σφηκών and other place-indications in - ών; old variation k: d assumes Specht Ursprung 205 a. 230 [impossible].Origin: IE [Indo-European] [749] *moru̯i- `ant'Etymology: For the formation cf. σκώληξ, σφήξ a.o. (Schwyzer 497, Chantraine Form. 380 f.); a velar suffix, prob. without genetic connection with μύρμηξ, is also seen in Lat. formīca `ant' and Skt. valmīka- m. n. `ant-hill'. -- The basis is seen in different forms in many IE languages, mostly with anlaut. m and in-(aus)laut. -u̯-, also with inlaut. -r-: IE *moru̯-ī ̆ in Av. maoiri-, Celt., e.g. OIr. moirb, Slav., e.g. ORuss. morovij; IE * mour-, * meur- in Germ., e.g. OWNo. maurr -n. (PGm. * maura-), OSwed. myra f. (PGm. * meuriōn-). Besides with anlaut. u̯- and inlaut. -m-: Skt. vamrá- m. (cf. valmīka above), thus βόρμαξ, βύρμαξ with β- for Ϝ-; in ὅρμικας a Ϝ- may have been lost. On itself stand Lat. formīca, whose f- however may go back through dissimilation to m- (cf. on μορμώ) and which would then be close to μύρμηξ. -- Further details on this old and popular word with diff. hypotheses on its development in WP. 2, 306f., Pok. 749. W.-Hofmann and Ernout-Meillet s. formīca, Vasmer s. muravéj; also Fraenkel s. marvà, which however because of its deviant meaning ('horse-fly') must be kept apart.Page in Frisk: 2,272-273Greek-English etymological dictionary (Ελληνικά-Αγγλικά ετυμολογική λεξικό) > μύρμηξ

19 *πέμφιξ
*πέμφιξ, -ῑγοςGrammatical information: f.Meaning: poet. word of unstable meaning, which is based partly on the artificialities of hell. poets (s. Wenkebach Phil. 86, 300ff.): `bubble of air or water' (secondarily of the soul, s. Nehring IF 40, 100ff.), `blister on the skin, drop (of water or blood), drizzle, spraying spark, also said of the sunlight' (Ibyc., trag., hell. poetry).Derivatives: πεμφιγώδης `full of vesications' (Hp.). Besides πεμφίς, only gen. pl. - ίδων (Lyc. 686; v. 1. - ίγων). -- With ο-vowel: πομφός m. `blister on the skin' (Hp.); more often with λ-suffix in πομφρολύζω (- ύσσω?), only aor. 3. pl. πομφόλυξαν `sprang up' ( δάκρυα; Pi.), and πομφόλυξ, -ῠγος f. (also m.) `bubble' (Hp., Pl., Arist., Thphr.), metaph. of a female hair-ornament (Ar., att. inscr.), of an architecton. ornament (Att. inscr.), of shieldknobs (H.), of a zincoxyde (medic.); as 1. member in πομφολυγο-παφλάσματα pl. joking formation (Ar. Ra. 249). From it πομφολυγ-ωτός `provided with bosses' (Ph. Bel.), - ώδης `like bubbles', - ηρόν n. `plaster with zinc oxyde' (medic.), - όω `to make bubbles' (Arist.), - όομοι, - ίζω `to bubble' (medic.).Origin: PG [a word of Pre-Greek origin]Etymology: Expressive words, which may be old as regards the kernel but in Greek preserved their special morphological character. The nearest example of πέμφιξ is not recognisable ( μάστιξ and τέττιξ are too far off; Chantraine Form. 397); the hapax πεμφίς after the many words in -ῑ̆δ- (cf. Fraenkel Nom. ag. 2, 201 n. 2; to far-going Specht Ursprung 212 a. 228). The ablauting πομφός was adapted to the o-stems; here with λ-suffix πομφο-λύξαι, - υξ (s. on μορμώ); cf. also φλύζω, οἰνό-φλυξ, φλύκταινα and Persson Beitr. 1, 58 a. 2, 879; similar βομβυλίδας πομφόλυγας H. -- To a group popular and onomatop. expressions for `blow up etc.', which are found esp. in Baltic, e.g. Lith. pam̃p-ti `swell, aufdinsen', pempùs `fatt-bodied', pumpùlis `roundish, thick-bellied thing', with voiced cons., e.g. bum̃balas `knob, bladder', with aspirate Arm. p'amp'ušt `urine-bladder'. -- Cf. βέμβιξ and βόμβος w. lit., also W.-Hofmann s. pampinus. - The words may well be Pre-Greek.Page in Frisk: 2,503Greek-English etymological dictionary (Ελληνικά-Αγγλικά ετυμολογική λεξικό) > *πέμφιξ
