Grammatical information: v.

Meaning: `toil, labour, build; get tired, die' (euphem.; almost only ep. οἱ καμόντες, Att. οἱ κεκμηκότες); `be in danger, be in need' (Il.).

Other forms: Aor. καμεῖν, fut. καμοῦμαι (Schwyzer 784), perf. κέκμηκα, Dor. (Theoc.) κέκμᾱκα, ep. ptc. κεκμηώς.

Compounds: also with prefix, e. g. ἀπο-, ἐκ-, συγ-. - As 2. member in compunds: ἀ-κάματος `without fatigue' (Il.). ἀ-κάμα-ς, - α-ντ-ος `indefatigable' (Il.; on the formation Schwyzer 526); more usual - κμη-τ- (-κμᾱ-τ-), - κμη-το- (-κμᾱ-το-), e. g. ἀ-κμή-ς, - ῆτ-ος `id.', ἄ-κμη-τος `id.', πολύ-κμητος `with much labour prepared'.

Derivatives: Verbal noun κάματος m. `labour, much demending labour, fatigue, pain' (Il.; on the meaning Radermacher RhM 87, 285f. [doubtful]). καματώδης `tiring' (Hes., Pi.), καματηρός `tiring, tired' (Ion., h. Ven. 246; after ἀνιηρός etc.; Chantraine Formation 232, Zumbach Neuerungen 15); καματηδόν `with fatigue' (Man.); also the verbal forms καματῶν κοπιῶν, ἐκαμάτευσε μετὰ κακοπαθείας εἰργάσατο H. (: καματάω, - τεύω).

Origin: IE [Indo-European] [557] *ḱemh₂- `exert oneself, get tired'

Etymology: Beside the thematic nasal present κάμνω Sanskrit has an athematic nā-present (type δάμ-νᾱ-μι): midd. śam-nī-te `exert onself, labour' (Schwyzer 693). The disyll. root form is seen in the impv. śamī̆-ṣva and the agent noun in śami-tár- `who prepares', which agree with Gr. κάμα-τος. Also the thematic aorist ἔ-καμ-ον, ἔ-καμ-ε has a parallel in Skt. a-śam-a-t, both with zero grade, *ḱm̥h₂-e\/o- (Schwyzer 747, Chantraine Gramm. hom. 1, 391); the full grade can be seen in athematic Skt. aor. á-śami-ṣ-ṭa (RV), *e-ḱemh₂-t. The zero grade in Greek is κμη-, PGr. κμᾱ- \< *ḱm̥h₂- ( κέ-κμη-κα, ἄ-κμη-τος.), which in Sanskrit gave śān-tá- (ptc.); s. Rix, Hist. Gramm 1976, 73. κάματος derives from *ḱm̥h₂-etos. - Certain traces of the root in other languages have not been found; perhaps in some Celtic nouns, like MIr. cuma `trouble', cumal `slave (fem.)'. Pok. 557. - Cf. κομέω, κομίζω (\< *ḱomh₂-).
