κεκαφηότα

Grammatical information: ptc.

Meaning: The meaning in later authors `exhausted, tired' is also found in Homer ( θυμόν); cf. Nehring ClassPhil. 42, 113ff.

Other forms: ptc. perf. act. m. sg. (Ε 698, ε 468); in later Epic (Opp., Nonn.) with γυῖα, δέμας or absolute; alo - ηότας (Nonn.) and - ηότι (θυμῳ̃, ταρσῳ̃; Opp., AP).

Origin: IE [Indo-European] [?? not 596] * keh₂bh- `get tired, be exhausted, die'

Etymology: Already Kuhn KZ 1, 137 connected the ind. κέκηφε τέθνηκεν H.; on the ptc. in - ηώς Schwyzer 770, Chantraine Gramm. hom. 1, 428. Further connections are hypothetical: to ἐκάπυσσεν ( ψυχήν Χ 467), ἐγκάπτει ἐκπνεῖ H. etc. (s. καπνός); to κηφήν, κωφός (Bezzenberger BB 5, 313, Solmsen Wortforsch. 123, Bechtel Lex. s. v.).

Grammatical information: m.

Meaning: `smoke, steam' (Il.).

Dialectal forms: Myc. ka-pi-ni-ja.

Compounds: Compp., e. g. καπνο-δόκη ` flue (of a chimney' (IA.), δύσ-καπνος ` with an unpleasant smoke' (A., Thphr.).

Derivatives: Subst. 1. κάπνη (Com.), short form of καπνοδόκη; also = καπνιαῖος λίθος ( PHolm.; s. below); 2. καπνία for κάπνη (Moer. 292, Gloss.; cf. Scheller Oxytonierung 56); 3. καπνίας m. name a) of a wine, that got a special taste from smoke (Com.), b) a kind of jasper, = καπνίτης, from the colour (Dsc., Plin.), c) of the poet Ekphantides (Ar. V. 151; ` διὰ τὸ μηδεν λαμπρὸν γράφειν' H.). 4. καπνίτης m. name of a stone, from the colour (Alex. Trall.; Redard Les noms grecs en - της 55), καπνῖτις f. plant name, `fumitory, Fumaria officinalis', from the smoke-coloured leaves (Ps.-Dsc.), also called κάπνιος and καπνός (Strömberg Pflanzennamen 27, Redard 72). - Adject. 5. κάπνε(ι)ος (sc. ἄμπελος) f. `vine with smoke-coloured grapes' (Arist., Thphr., pap.); 6. καπνώδης `smokey, smoke-coloured' (Arist., Thphr., Plb.); 7. καπνηλός ` smoke-like' (Nic.

Th. 36). - Beside καπνός there is an aorist ἀπὸ ( δε ψυχην) ἐκάπυσσεν `breathe forth' (Χ 467; κάπυσσεν Q. S. 6, 523), with the present καπύσσων ἐκπνέων H.; the supposed basis seems preserved in κάπυς πνεῦμα H. (also κάπος ψυχή, πνεῦμα). Uncertain is the gloss, given in the wrong place, καπυκτά πνέοντα H.; connected with καπύσσων?, cf ἀλύω (s.v.) with ἀλύσσω s. The stem with υ- also in καπυρός `dry etc.', s. v.; uncertain is κέκηφε τέθνηκε H., κεκαφηότα (Hom.), s. v.

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

Etymology: An original *κϜαπ-νός (see Schwyzer 302; and s. below), but note that Myc. does not have a w, agrees with Lith. kvãpas `breath, smell'; beside it with ē-vowel kvėpiù,kvẽpti `gasp, breathe', Latv. kvêpstu, kvêpt `smoke, smell'; καπνός a. cogn. then seem to go back on IE. ku̯ep-. An old question is whether Lat. vapor `vapour, smoke' with v- for expected qu- is cognate. On the other hand Russ. kópotь `fine soot, dust' etc. presents a u̯-less form, which cannot be explained from Slavic. Finally Germ., e. g. Goth. af- ƕapjan `suffocate, extinguish', af- ƕapnan `extinguish' show a root-final p for f (b). "Man hat somit in den verschiedenen Sprachen mit zahlreichen, nicht unerwarteten Entgleisungen zu rechnen. (Frisk)" - More forms in Pok. 596f.; cf. W.-Hofmann s. vapor, Fraenkel Lit. et. Wb. s. kvẽpti, Vasmer Russ. et. Wb. s. kópotь. S. also Bq. - Schrijver (Laryng. in Latin, 260f.) assumed a laryngeal for Latvian, and posited * kuh₂ep-, a rare type that is perhaps impossible; also it is uncertain that this gave *κϜαπ-. IE origin, then, is improbable. * kap- is unprobelematic for Pre-Greek; an u-stem ( κάπυς) is frequent in Pre-Greek (s. Heubeck, Praegraeca 31-39), as is a suffix n- after consonant (Beekes, Pre-Greek, Suffixes). The Baltic (and Slavic) forms, and Lat. vapor are unclear, and may come form a substr. language. (I do not assume * kʷap-, as this would give *κ(ϝ)οπ-, cf. ἄλοξ, καλαῦροψ.)

Grammatical information: m.

Meaning: `drone', often metaphor. `lazy vagabond' (Hes.), also by the Anatolian Greeks used for the Asiatic peoples, e. g. the Persians (Hdt. 7, 61), as Russ. etc. Némĭci "the Dumb" as name for the Germans.

Other forms: καφάν H.

Derivatives: Diminutivum κηφήνιον (Arist.) and κηφηνώδης `drone-like' (Pl.). - Further Κηφεύς (Hdt.) and several other short names as Κῆφις, Κᾶφις, Κάφων, Καφώ, s. Solmsen Wortforsch. 123f.; diff. Bechtel Lex. s. κεκαφηώς.

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

Etymology: Substantivization in - ήν, - άν of an adjective *κηφός, *κᾱφός? This may also be the basis of the PN Κηφεύς (wrong Bosshardt Die Nom. auf - ευς 133f.) and with ablaut to κωφός `dumb, deaf' ( keh₂bh-, * koh₂bh-)? Further analysis and connection uncertain; cf. on κεκαφηότα. - Lat. hebes `dumb' cannot belong here because of the vocalism (IE. ĕ against ā, ō in καφάν, κωφός), unless one separates Κᾶφις etc. and considers καφάν as a false Dorisation. Older combinations in Bq. I think there is no reason to do so (Chantr.notes that ā\/ōis rare in Greek) and rather thinks that the insect name is a Pre-Greek word. Note that a word in -ᾱν is rare.

Origin: IE [Indo-European]X [probably]

Etymology: Connected with κηφήν, κεκαφηότα; s. vv; would be * keh₂bʰ-, koh₂bʰ-, kh₂bʰ- if IE, but there is no IE comparandum.
