Origin: IE [Indo-European] [681] * leu(s)- `make loose'

Etymology: The regular Greek formal system is the result of nivellation. Old was the athematic aorist λύ-μην, λύ-το (Schwyzer 740, Chantraine Gramm. hom. 1, 382), new prob. the themat. present λύω with original short (Hom.), then also long (Att.; sts. also Hom.) υ, prob. after λῦσαι etc. (cf. Schwyzer 686, Chantraine 1, 372; also Schulze Q. 387 f., Bonfante Emerita 1, 117). Further agrees with λῠ́ω Lat. luō `mend, pay', to which solvō (from *sĕ-luō) `solve'; the long vowel in so-lū-tus and in Skt. lū-na- `cut off' has an agreement in βου-λῡ-τός (against λύ-το, λύ-σις etc.). The Skt. verb deviates both formally and semantically ('cut off, divide, destroy usw.') with the nasal presents lu-nā́-ti, lu-no-ti; the other finite forms are much later; on full grade verbal nouns (e.g. laví-, lavítra-) s. on λαῖον (not in λοι-δορέω). - From other languages there are isolated verbal nouns or verb forma, which are unimportant for Greek, like Goth. lun acc. sg. ' λύτρον, ransom'; with n-suffix Alb. laj `pay a debt' (from IE *lǝu̯n-i̯ō?). Besides with s-enlargement Germ. e.g. Goth. fra-liusan `lose' (IE * leus-) wiht fralusts `loss' (IE. * lus-ti-), fra-lus-nan `be lost'. - More forms WP. 2, 407 f., Pok. 681 f., W.-Hofmann s. 2. luō.

Grammatical information: m.

Meaning: `anniversary, year' (Il.; Risch Mus. Helv. 3, 254).

Derivatives: ἐνιαύσιος, Delph. Coan - τιος `(one)year, a year long, every year' (π 454), ἐνιαυσιαῖος `a year long' (Arist.; s. Chantr. Form. 49); denomin. verb ἐνιαυτίζομαι, - ίζω `pass a year' (Pl. Com.).

Origin: XX [etym. unknown]

Etymology: A new expression for `year', prop. `year-day' (cf. Bechtel Lex. s. v.). - For the formation cf. κονι-ορ-τός, βου-λυ-τός etc. (Schwyzer 501), it seems to contain a word for `year', ἔνος (H., Sch. Theoc. 7, 147), seen in several compounds: δίενος `διετής' (Thphr.), ἑπτάενον ἑπταετῆ H., τετράενος (Call.); as σ-stem τετράενες n. (Theocr. 7, 147), ὕπενες εἰς τετάρτην H., s. also ἦνις. The same word prob. also in Baltic and Germanic, e. g. Lith. pér-nai `πέρυσι' (* per-h₁n-, with acute from the laryngeal), Russ. loni \< * ol-ni `of the past year', Goth. fram fair-nin jera `from for- (= past) year'. - The 2. member in ἰαύω, either the present-stem ἐν-ιαυτός (Meillet MSL 23, 274f.) or with the verbal root (cf. κονι-ορ-τός etc.s. above) with - ι- as compound vowel [hardly possible]: ἐν-ι-αυ-τός (Schwyzer 424 n. 5, 448). But a meaning *"Jahresruhe" (`years rest') is not quite clear. - After Brugmann IF 15, 87ff., 17, 319f. and many others to ἐνιαύω as *"Rast-, Ruhestation der Sonne, Jahreswende"; a το-formation from a present would be remarkable. Hardly with Prellwitz a. o. from ἐνι αὑτῳ̃ "at the same point (as in spring)"; diff. Murray JournofHellStud. 71, 120. Doubts in Szemerényi, Sprache 11 (1965) 7f.
