indeclform (adverb)

θᾰμῐνάκις, Adv.

A = θαμάκις, θαμά, Hp.Mul.2.203.

Grammatical information: adv.

Meaning: `often' (Il.)

Derivatives: θαμάκις (: πολλάκις) `id.' (Pi.). θαμινά `id.' (Pi., Hp.), adj. θαμινός `crowded, close-set' (Call.; cf. πυκινά, - ινός) with θαμινάκις (Hp.); also θαμεινός, after αἰπεινός (h. Merc. 44; Wackernagel Gött. Nachr. 1914, 119 n.2 = Kl. Schr. 2, 1176 n. 2).

Origin: XX [etym. unknown]

Etymology: Beside θαμά (accent after πολλά, Wackernagel Akz. 34 = Kl. Schr. 2, 1103) stands the u-stem *θαμύς ( τάχα: ταχύς) in θαμέες pl. `close-set, crowded', f. θαμειαί (Hom.; accent, Schwyzer 385); cf. also Θαμυ-κλῆς PN (Bechtel Hist. Personennamen 197). Comp. θαμύντεραι πυκνότεραι H. (cf. ἰθύντατα). Here also θάμυρις H., prob. after πανήγυρις, with which H. glosses it; also as PN (Β 595, inscr.); cf. Bechtel Namenst. 25f.; further ὁδοὺς θαμυρούς τὰς λεωφόρους; θαμυρίζει ἁθροίζει, συνάγει H.; also intr. ( BCH 50, 401, Thespiae). - Denomin. of θαμά: θαμίζω `come frquently' (Il.; cf. Schwyzer 736). Beside θημ-ών, θωμ-ός (s. v.) one assumed θαμ-ά to be a reduced grade, which is impossible (from θη- in τί-θη-μι, but this had θε-, as in θέμεθλα, θέμις).
