Origin: XX [etym. unknown]

Etymology: ἠπύω will be based on a noon *ἦπυς `loud cry(?)' (Fraenkel Nom. ag. 1, 165). - On the ending cf. γηρύ-ω, οἰζύ-ω, ἀΰ̄-σαι; further unclear. The comparison with Lat. vāpulō `be punished', prob. prop. `lament, wail' (Persson Beitr. 1, 495 n. 4), and further, with deviaring labial, Germ., e. g. Goth. wopjan `cry', supposes an initial digamma, from which there is no trace (dissimilation against - π-?). - Cf. on ἠχή. Improbable Fur. 236 who compares ἀύω.

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

Etymology: Comparable variants are found in words of Egyptian origin ( σίλι: σέσελι, σάρι: σίσαρον), so the word has been thought to be of Egypt. origin (Hehn Kulturpflanzen 211, André Latomus 15, 296ff; rejected by Mayrhofer Sprache 7, 185ff.) Against the theory of Austro-Asiatic origin Kretschmer Glotta 27, 249f and Wüst Ρῆμα 2, 59ff, Anthropos 54 (1959) 987f. On the Greek forms Björck Alpha impurum 289f. The word can be found in late Lat. senpecta; s. Svennung Riv. fil. class. 95, 65 ff. Lat. LW [loanword] nāpus `turnip' (Plin.) and sinapi(s) `mustard'; from the last Goth. sina(s) , OHG senf etc. -- The form clearly goes back to a Pre-Greek *s^ynāpi with palatalized s; this may develop before consonant into σι (cf. κνώψ: κινώπετον, λασιτός: λάσται) cf. Beekes FS Kortlandt). If an i was not introduced, * sn- would have normally developed to ν- in Greek (cf. νεῦρον), but the σ- might have been retained, giving *σναπυ.
