θρέ(Ϝ)ομαι

Grammatical information: v.

Meaning: `cry aloud, shriek, proclaim' (A., E., always of women), only pres. except θρεύετο (poet. inscr., Epid. IV^a), artificially formed after θρεῦμαι A. Th. 78; on the imperfective actio Fournier Les verbes "dire" 90 and 228.

Compounds: very oft en as 2. member, e. g. ἀλλό-θροος `with other(mans) voice, with foreigm language'

Derivatives: θρόος, Att. θροῦς m. `noise, murmur, rumour' (Δ 437, Pi. N. 7, 81, Th., X.), (Od.). Iterative deverbative resp. denominative (cf. Schwyzer 719 and 726; θρόος partly postverbal?) θροέω, aor. θροῆσαι, rarely with prefix δια-, προσ- a. o., `cry, proclaim, speak' (trag.); pass. θροεῖσθαι, θροηθῆναι `be drowned, confused, frightened' (LXX, NT); from there συνθρόησις `confusion, shyness' (S. E. M. 9, 169).

Origin: IE [Indo-European]X [probably] [255?] *dhreu-??

Etymology: Beside the thematic root present θρέ(Ϝ)ομαι, IE -dhreu̯-o-, Armenian has an athematic root present erdnum, aor. erdu-ay `swear', IE * dhru-neu-mi; cf. OLat. deicō againt δείκ-νυ-μι. Frisk Etyma Armen. 8ff., where also relation with θάρνυται as `speak' ( δηλοῖ την διὰ λόγων ἔντευξιν H.) is considered. Here perhaps also θόρυβος and θρυλέω, θρῦλος; but this is hardly IE; Pok. 255 should be reconsidered, it contains much Greek that is non-IE [the Arm form is not mentioned here]. Cf. also θρῆνος.

Grammatical information: m.

Meaning: `murmer' (Batr., Orph., pap.).

Derivatives: Beside it θρυλέω (- λλ-) `boast, brag', also with δια- and other prefixes, (Att.) with πολυ-θρύλ(λ)η-τος `much discussed' (Pl., Plb.), θρύλημα `talking, boast' (LXX); also θρυλίζω `produce a wrong tone on the cithara' (h. Merc. 488; cod. θρυαλ- [metr. better] = θρυλλ- ?) with θρυλισμός, - ιγμός (D. H.).

Origin: IE [Indo-European]X [probably] [255] * dʰreu- `murmur, drone, rumble'; or PG [Pre-Greek].

Etymology: While it seems most obvious to assume that θρυλέω was derived from θρῦλος, both the dates and the frequency refute this. Rather θρυλέω was formed after the many (denominative, deverbative or primary) sound-verbs in - έω, e. g. κομπέω, κελαδέω, βομβέω, δουπέω, ῥοιβδέω (Schwyzer 726 w. n. 5), from which the rare and late θρῦλος was a backformation. It seems obvious that θρυλέω had connections with θρέ(Ϝ)ομαι, θόρυβος, τονθορύζω. One suggests that it is a zero grade λ-deriv. of IE dh(e)- reu- (Pok. 255), only this root is badly attested, though there is Gr. θρέομαι. "Ob man durch eine solche rein grammatische Analyse einem Schallausdruck gerecht wird, scheint immerhin etwas fraglich" (Frisk). - The often found notation - λλ- can be an expressive gemination.- Fur. 237, 281 separates the word from the IE forms and connects θόρυβος, with variant *θρυϜ-.
