Other forms: dat. acc. also μάστῑ, - ῐν (Ψ 500, ο 182, AP).

Compounds: Some compp., e.g. μαστιγο-φόρος `scourge-bearing', also name of a policeman (Th., Pap.).

Derivatives: Dimin. μαστίγιον (M. Ant.); μαστιγ-ίας m. `rogue' (Att.; Chantraine Form. 93), - ία name of a magic plant (PMag. Par.). Denominative verbs: 1. μαστίω, only presentstem, `whip, crourge, thrash' (rarely ep. since Il.). 2. μαστίζω (posthom.), - ίσδω (Theoc.), aor. μαστίξαι (Il.; hell.) `id.', either from μάστιξ or enlarged from μαστίω (cf. Schwyzer 735 n. 4, Schulze Kl. Schr. 354 n. 1, Ruijgh L'éIém. ach. 88), with μαστίκ-τωρ `scourger, chastiser' (A. Eu. 159), - τήρ `id.' (coni. A. Supp. 466; cf.

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

Etymology: Nom. instr. in - τις ( ἄρυσ-τις, κνῆσ-τις etc.; Holt Les noms d'action en - σις 32, 42; Chantraine Form. 275 f.), with γ-enlargement (Schwyzer 496, Chantraine 397) μασ-τῑ-γ-, from μάσ-σασθαι, μαίομαι `touch' (s. v.). -- The formal similariy between μάστιξ, μαστιγόω and Lith. màstieguoti, mostigóti `quirl, beat about' is purely accidental (Fraenkel Wb. s. màkaluoti against Prellwitz BB 24, 106). I doubt the connection with μασάομαι, and rather think that the word is Pre-Greek. Cf. Schrader-Nehring Reallex. 2, 154.The suffix -ῑγ- is Pre-Greek.
