Thematized in ἄλευρ-ον, mostly pl. ἄλευρα `flour' (Hdt.). - ἄλητον `flour' (Hp.) with η after ἄμητος or contr. from ἀλεατ-. ἀλήσιον πᾶν τὸ ἀληλεσμένον H., Lacon. ἀληhιον (with s \< t before i!). - ἄλημα n. `flour' (S.). - ὄνος ἀλέτης `grinder (upper millstone)' (Gortyn, X., cf.

Origin: IE [Indo-European] [28] * h₂elh₁- `grind'

Etymology: ἀλέω is prob. an athematic present *ἀλε- \< * h₂elh₁-. - With *ἄλε-Ϝαρ cf. Arm. alewr `flour', *h₂leh₁-ur̥. The Arm. verb is aɫam. Further cognates in Indo-Iranian, e. g. MInd. (+ Hindi, Bengali) āṭā `flour', NPers. ārd `id.', Av. aša- (\< * arta-) `ground'. - The PIE root * melh₂-, same meaning, cf. μάλευρον.
