Origin: IE [Indo-European] [183] * d(e)h₁- `bind'

Etymology: Directly agree δετός ( διά-δετος A., δετός Opp.) and Skt. ditá- `bound' as well as δῆμα ( ὑπό-δημα etc.; s. above) and Skt. dā́man- `band'. Of the presents δίδημι (Λ 105) is prob. an innovation to δήσω, δῆσαι etc. after θήσω: τίθημι. The ε-vowel in δέω, δέσις, δετός etc. like that in τί-θε-μεν, θέσις etc. must be the zero grade dh₁- beside dē- in δήσω etc.; (the Skt. pres. - dyati (ā́-dyati) `bind' from *dh₁-i̯e-ti.).

Derivatives: also ἑλένη λαμπάς, δετή H., also `twisted basket, with the sacred apparatus for a feast of Artemis Brauronia, the so-called Έλενηφόρια (Poll.); to this ἑλένιος ἀγγεῖον χωροῦν τέταρτον H.

Origin: PG [a word of Pre-Greek origin]

Etymology: Uncertain the plant name ἑλένιον, s. Έλένη. To ἑλάνη cf. σκαπάνη, πλεκτάνη etc. (Chantr. Form. 199). (With ἑλένη cf ὠλένη, Aeol. φερενα; so prob. assimilation of ἑλάνη (s. Schwyzer 255f.). - For the meaning `reed-bundle, twisted basket' one connects ἑλάνη, - ένη with εἰλέω `turn, wind' (s. v.); the meaning `torch' would also allow this etymology (cf. δεταί `λαμπάδες, δράγματα'). But it is clearly wrong, as it is most probably a Pre-Greek word. (Not to εἵλη `heat of the sun,' (Solmsen Unt. 196).
