Gramm. hom. 1, 429), βεβρώσεται (Od.), βέβρωμαι (A.), ἔβρων (h. Ap. 122), (hell.), ἐβρώθην (Hdt.). Other forms are late: βρώζω (Herod.), fut. βρώσομαι, βιβρώσκω (Babr.), ἀναβρώσκων (H.), ἔβρωσα, - ξα (Hell.). Desider. βρωσείω `desire to eat' (Call.).

Compounds: ὠμο-βρώς, - τος. δημο- (`devouring his people'), θυμο-βόρος (Il.), cf. Lat. carni-vorus.

Derivatives: Nom. actionis: βρωτύς (Il.) and βρῶσις (Il.) `food' (Chantr., BSL 59, 1964) 11-22); also βρώμη (Od.), βρῶμα (Ion.-Att.); βρωτόν (E.); βρώσιμος `eatable' (A.). - Nom. agentis: βρωτήρ (A.), as `moth' also βρωστήρ (Aq.). βορά `food' (of a predator). - On βούβρωστις s. v.

Origin: IE [Indo-European] [474] * gʷerh₃- `devour'

Etymology: Root * gʷerh₃-. The zero grade in the verbal adj. βρωτός, which agrees with Lith. gìrtas `drunk' and Skt. gīrṇá- `devoured'. The aor. in Arm. 3. sg. eker (* e-gʷerh₃-et = Gr. *ἔδερε, *ἔβερε) to pres. utem ; Skt. aor. garat, gārīt; Greek has ἔβρως etc., with zero grade generalized from the plural. Perf. Skt. jagāra (* gʷe-gʷorh₃-e = Gr. *βέβορε). Greek generalized βρω- from the verb. adj. and the plural aor. and perf. Pres. Skt. giráti \< *gʷrh₃-e\/o-, which agrees with OCS. žьrǫ. Lat. vorāre may be denom. - Not here βάραθρον. Cf. δέρη.
