1 ὀρεχθέω
Grammatical information: v.Meaning: expressive ep. poet. verb of unclear meaning, in Hom. of βόες σφαζόμενοι (Ψ 30), of old usu. explained as `to rattle', in Theoc. of the sea ( θάλασσαν... ὀρεχθεῖν 11, 43) `to roar, to surge', but in Ar. (Nu. 1368), A R. (1, 275), Opp. (H. 2, 583) of the heart ( καρδία, κέαρ), also of θυμός (A. R. 2, 49); after this in Nic. (Al. 340) of the κύστις and, quite obscure, in the tragedian Aristias (6; Va) of πέδον.Origin: XX [etym. unknown]Etymology: The acoustic notion, in Theoc. undeniable, in Hom. very obvious, is at the other positions (Aristias can better be forgotten) impossible. The here except for Nic. required rendering through `be in convulsions, rattle, tremble' fits indeed as well as `ruckle' for Ψ 30. A uniform meaning could be reconstructed, if one may take Theoc. 11, 43 as an instance of the traditional but false interpretation of Ψ 30. -- Also etymologically unclear. The very old connection with ῥοχθέω `rauschen, brausen' is formally difficult, and does not explain all places, the also old connection with ὀρέγω (with θ-enlargement [Schwyzer 703], evtl. through a θ-perf. *ὤρεχ-θα [Risch $ 111 a]) is semantically rather meaningless.Page in Frisk: 2,414-415Greek-English etymological dictionary (Ελληνικά-Αγγλικά ετυμολογική λεξικό) > ὀρεχθέω

Aβόες.. ὀρέχθεον ἀμφὶ σιδήρῳ σφαζόμενοι Il.23.30
: expld. by most Gramm. of the death- rattle in the throat (as though cogn. with ῥοχθέω ) (κατὰ μίμησιν ἤχου τραχέος.., ἀντὶ τοῦ ἔστενον ἀναιρούμενοι Sch.Tad loc., cf. Eust.1285.60 sq., Apollon. Lex., Hsch., etc.); but also as cogn. with ὀρέγομαι, ἀναιρούμενοι ὠρέγοντο ἤτοι ἐξετείνοντο Eust.l.c. (cf. Sch. T, Zonar., etc.), i.e. they were stretching themselves, struggling, in the throes of death.—In later Poets it seems freq. to mean swell up, esp. of the heart when stirred by emotion, like ὀρίνομαι, τῶς οἴεσθέ μου τὴν καρδίαν ὀρεχθεῖν; Ar.Nu. 1368 ; νεάτη δ' ὑπὸ κύστις ὀρεχθεῖ the bladder swells, Nic.Al. 340 ; σφακέλῳ δέ οἱ ἔνδον ὀρεχθεῖ μαινομένη κραδίη, of a dying whale, Opp. H.2.583 ;τῇ δὲ.. δέδεται κέαρ ἔνδοθεν ἄτῃ, οὐδ' ἔχει ἐκφλύξαι τόσσον γόον, ὅσσον ὀρεχθεῖ A.R.1.275
;καί οἱ ὀρέχθει θυμὸς ἐελδομένῳ στηθέων ἐξ αἷμα κεδάσσαι Id.2.49
: in Aristias 6, μύκαισι ( μυκαῖσι Schneidewin) δ' ὠρέχθει τὸ λάϊνον πέδον, it must have the sense of ῥοχθέω if μυκαῖσι is accepted ; θάλασσαν ἔα ποτὶ χερσὸν ὀρεχθεῖν let the sea roar landwards, Theoc.11.43 (cf.βοάω 1.2
