Gr. 2, 79); in prose mostly ἀπο-θνῄσκω; also with other prefixes, e. g. κατα-θνῄσκω, - θανεῖν, - τέθνηκα (all Il.); on the function of the prefix Schwyzer-Debrunner 268f., Hermann Gött. Nachr. 1943, 617f. Verbal adj. θνητός `mortal' (Il.). - From there θνήσιμος (only Arg. to S.

Verbalsubst. θνῆσις `dying, mortality' (medic.); on εὑθνήσιμος `preparing a soft death' (A. Ag. 1294) from εὖ θνῄσκειν; cf. εὑθάνατος, - τέω, - σία; diff., hardly correct, Arbenz 78 u. 84.

Origin: IE [Indo-European] [266] * dʰ(u)enh₂- `die'

Etymology: The form θαν- ( εῖν) and θάνα-(τος) θνᾱ-(τός) point to a form *dhnh₂-, *dhnh₂-e- beside *dhnh₂- before consonant. The comparison with Skt. aorist á-dhvanī-t `he disappeared' and the ptc. dhvān-tá- `dark' led to the reconstruction IE dhu̯enǝ-; the meaning `die' stems from a euphemism, cf. Chantraine Sprache 1, 146. See Pok. 266. But the -u̯- is not quite certain.

θρά̄σσω, θρά̄ττω rommelig

Grammatical information: v.

Meaning: `trouble, disquiet' (Pi., Hp., Att.);

Other forms: Aor. θρᾶξαι (A., E.), pass. ἐθράχθη (S. Fr. 1055); perf. τέτρηχα intr. `be troubled, unquiet' (Il.).

Compounds: incid. with prefix, ἐν-, ὑπο-, ἐπι-,

Origin: IE [Indo-European]X [probably] [251] [very uncertain] * dʰreh₂gʰ- `??'

Etymology: Primary yot-present from *θρᾱχ-ι̯ω, beside which the old perfect *τέ-θρᾱχ-α (Schwyzer 702); the rarely occurring aorist forms θρᾶξαι, ἐθράχθη are innovations after the type πράσσω: πρᾶξαι a. o. for older ταράξαι (like δαμάσαι), to which the present ταράσσω (s. v.), with the same disyll. stem form as ταραχή; to τέ-τρηχ-α: ταραχ-ή cf. e. g. τέ-θνη-κα: θάνα-τος. A primary nominal formation with long stem as θρά̄σσω, τέτρηχα is τρᾱχύς `raw, hard'; s. v. There are no exact correcpondences ouside Greek. Bezzenberger BB 4, 320 adduced a widespread word for `dregs, sediment', which occurs in varying form: Germ., e. g. ONord. dregg f., pl. dreggiar, Balt.-Slav., e. g. OLith. drãges pl., Alb. drā, prob. also Lat. fracēs, -um. Further one compares a large group in Baltic, which through its acute would agree with the Greek words, e. g. Lith. dérgiu, dérgti `schlackerig sein (of the weather), get squalid etc.' [but the acute is caused by the Lith. g \< *g acc. to Winter-Kortlandt's law, and so does not agree with Greek]. (Here acc. to Specht KZ 59, 102 and 117 w. n. 3 also dìrgstu, dìrgti `relax, get weak etc.' (with dìrginu, dìrginti `relax'); but see the critical remarks in Fraenkel Lit. et. Wb. s. dìrginti and drėgti !. - More forms W.-Hofmann s. fracēs; and Fraenkel s. drãges; and Pok. 251; these forms are not clear. Cf. Bechtel Lex. s. ταράσσω.
