καπατᾶ κατακόψεις

κὰπατᾶ (sic): κατακόψεις (Paph.), Hsch. [full] κάπατας· καθορῶν, Euclusap.Hsch. (leg. καπατάς, cf. ἰμπάταὁν, ἰνκαπάταὁν).

Grammatical information: v.

Meaning: `to look around, to glance at smth.' (Il.).

Other forms: Aor. παπτῆναι (- ᾶναι Pi.), fut. - ανέω.

Compounds: Rarely w. ἀπο-, δια-, περι-.

Derivatives: Besides πεπτήνας περιβλεψάμενος H. and, from cross with παμφαλώμενος (s. παμφαλάω), παπταλώ-μενος (Lyc.).

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

Etymology: Intensive reduplicated formation πα-πτ-αίνω (to which analog. - ανέω, - ῆναι; Chantraine Gramm. hom. 1, 375). Since long (Legerlotz KZ 8, 417) connected with some Cypriot H.glosses: ἰμπάταον ἔμβλεψον. Πάφιοι, ἰνκαπάταον ἐγκατάβλεψον. The here found aor. πατά-σαι may also be seen in καπατάς καθορῶν. παρὰ Εὔκλῳ H. (cod. κάπατας καθαρόν... Εὑηλῶν), if contracted from *πατάσας (Hoffmann Dial. 1, 118); diff. Bechtel Lex. 270 (with M. Schmidt): from pres. *πάτᾱμι. The form ἀνεπάταξεν ἐξ ὕπνου ἀνέβλεψεν, which stands beside it, one is prepared to consider as, `elevate (the eyes)' and to connect with πατάσσω; here further καπατᾶ κατακόψεις. Πάφιοι H., prob. with Hoffmann l.c. from *πατά-ω `beat' (in πάτα-γος, πατά-σσω). Is also πατά-σαι `glance', and finally also πα-πτ-αίνω semantiscally to be connected? Or the last to πέτομαι from fluttering around of the look? - The word can hardly be IE.

Grammatical information: m.

Meaning: `noise, roar, cracking produced by clashing, breaking etc.' (Il.).

Derivatives: Beside it 1. παταγ-έω, also m. ἀντι-, ὑπο- a.o., `to make noise, to plash, to roar' (Alc. [ πατάγεσκε]), -ή f. (D. P., Longos), - ημα n. (Men.) = πάταγος. 2. πατάσσω, aor. πατάξαι, also m. ἐκ-, συν- a.o., `to knock, to beat, to hurt' (Il.; in Att. mostly aor. a. fut. act. to pres. τύπτω; Bloch Suppl. Verba 83ff.). 3. πατάξ interj. (Ar. Av. 1258; cf. on εὑράξ). 4. καπατᾳ̃ κατακόψεις. Πάφιοι H.

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

Etymology: With πάταγ-ος: - έω several words are to be compared: κτύπ-ος: - έω, ἄραβ-ος: - έω, κέλαδ-ος: - έω, ῥοῖβδ-ος: - έω etc.; s. vv. w. lit. It cannot always be distinguished, whether the subst. or the verb is primary or the other way round. The γ-suffix as in the close λαλαγή, σμαραγέω ( Σμάραγος), οἰμωγή a.o. With πατάσσω agrees synonymous ἀράσσω; similar σπαράσσω, τινάσσω etc. (Schwyzer 733). Details on the formation in Porzig Satzinhalte 25. -- The onomatop. character of the expressive words is clear; connections outside Greek (Lat. quatiō a.o.; s. Bq and W.-Hofmann s.v.) do not convince. - Furnée 279 compares σπαταγγίζειν ταράσσειν H.; the word then may be Pre-Greek.
