1 λέπαδνον
Grammatical information: n.Meaning: `broad leather strap fastening the yoke to the neck and the girth' (Il., A., Ar., AP, pap.);Origin: PG [a word of Pre-Greek origin]Etymology: Formation like ὀπιδ-νός, παιδ-νός, γοε-δνός, μακεδν-ός a. o. (Schwyzer 489, Chantraine Form. 194); further unexplained. Morphologically prob. λέπαδ-νο-ν; so from λεπάς, - άδος `limpet', as the λέπαδνα like snakes cling to the neck (cf. Ar. V. 105 [from Φιλοκλέων]: ὥσπερ λεπὰς προσεχόμενος τῳ̃ κίονι)??, but a metaphor from the marine fauna to the hippological area would be quite rare. - No doubt a Pre-Greek word.Page in Frisk: 2,104-105Greek-English etymological dictionary (Ελληνικά-Αγγλικά ετυμολογική λεξικό) > λέπαδνον

2 μακεδνός
Grammatical information: adj.Meaning: `tall, taper', of trees etc. (η 106, Nic., Lyc.); also as name of a people cognate with the Dorians (Hdt.).Derivatives: Also PN Μακεδόνες pl. m. `Macedonians', sg. - ών (IA.) wiht Μακεδον-ία, - ίη, - ικός `Macedonia, -nian' (IA.), also ἡ Μακεδον-ίς (Hdt.), - ῖτις (Ael.), i.e. γῆ, - ισσα `Macedonian woman' (Stratt.); μακεδονίζω `be pro-Macedonian' (Plb., Plu.). With long medial vowel Μακηδών (Hes. Fr. 5, 2, Kall.), - δονία, - ίη (hell. poet.). Beside Μακε-δόν-ες the form μακε-δν-ός seems to show ablaut, zero grade in the suffix, which is also seen (without variant - δόν-) also in γοε-δν-ός a. o. (Solmsen Wortforsch. 46). A suffixal, mostly primary - δόν- is at home in animal-names, some appellatives as well as in nom. actionis a. o. (Chantraine Form. 360ff., Schwyzer 529 f.). Not cognate with μακ-ρός, μῆκ-ος; cf. Specht Ursprung 199 u. 345. A by-form is Μακέτης (Gell.), f. - τις (Str., AP) and - τία, τη (AP), - τᾰ (pap.; Mayser 1: 3, 24); cf. οἰκέτης etc.; s. Schwyzer 498 n. 13, Krahe ZONF 11, 90. -Origin: PG [a word of Pre-Greek origin]Etymology: After Fick BB 26, 242 the Μακεδόνες were prop. "Highlanders" (beside Μακέτα *'Highland'). New, very daring and hypothetical interpretation by Pisani Arch. glottol. it. 33, 72: from *Μακι-κεδόνες "of who the Earth is high", from μακ-ι- (: μακ-ρός) and a Maced. word agreeing with χθών (s.v.); the second member is more than doubtful; the whole must be rejected. Doubts on the Greek origin of Μακεδόνες by Krahe Glotta 17, 159. -- Cf. μηκεδανός to μῆκος. Fur. does not discuss the forms. The name seems rather non-IE, so Pre-Greek; cf. Λακεδαίμων (cf. Fick, Vorgr. Ortsnamen 90). An analysis μακε-δνος is impossible in an IE word; also the form with τ points to Pre-Greek. The meaning of the adj. strongly suggests that it is cognate with μακρός, but this can hardly be accounted for in IE morphology.Page in Frisk: 2,163Greek-English etymological dictionary (Ελληνικά-Αγγλικά ετυμολογική λεξικό) > μακεδνός
