Origin: IE [Indo-European] [472] * gʷelh₁- `hit by throwing'

Etymology: Ion.-Att. βάλλω and Arc. δέλλω (with sec. assibilation ζέλλω) show original g^u̯-. The geminate - λλ- either from a yod-present *βαλ-ιω or a nasal present *βαλ-ν-H-ω, athem. *βάλ-ν-η-μι. δέλλω ( ζέλλω) from the aorist ἔζελεν ἔβαλεν H., which was reshaped from an athematich aor (* e-gʷelh₁-t). βελε- also in ἑκατηβελέτης, and in βελεμν- (but s. Fur. 151: to πελεμίζω). ἔβαλον from the athem. aor. zero grade *gʷl̥h₁-. The form βλη- prob. from zero grade *gʷl̥h₁-, which is certain for ἔβλητο. - Remarkably, this old verb has no certain relatives. Av. ni- γrā- ire prob. for *niγnā-; uncertain Toch. A B klā- `fall', Skt. ud-gūrṇa-, OIr. atbaill `dies'; s. LIV. (Not to Skt. galati `drip', OHG. quellan `hervorquellen' etc.) - Cf. βούλομαι, βάλανος, βελόνη, βῶλος, βωλόναι.

ἐετῶς,

A easily, Hsch., Suid. [full] ἐεχμένη· συνεχομένη, Hsch. [full] ἐϝέρην, v. εἴρω. [full] ἔζελεν· ἔβαλεν, Id. (cf. ζέλλω). [full] ἔζινεν· ἐπεσβέννυεν, Id.

Grammatical information: n.

Meaning: `cleft, abyss'

Other forms: βέρεθρον (Hom.; Aeol. ?, Chantr. Gramm. hom. 1, 114), from which through *βέρθρον βέθρον (Euph.), Arc. ζέρεθρον (for δ-; cf. ζέλλω = δέλλω s. βάλλω)

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

Etymology: One would like to explain the variants from *βερα-. In that case the connection with βιβρώσκω (s. d.) `devour' cannot be maintained: *gʷerh₃-\/ gʷr̥h₃- would give *δερο-\/ βρω-, *βαρ(ο)-. The word therefore will be Pre-Gr., like φάραγξ; s. Beekes, Devel. 193. - Illyrian cognates in Krahe IF 58, 220.
