μαίνεται οὑδέ τίς οἱ δύναται μένος ἰσοφαρίζειν

Grammatical information: n.

Meaning: `mind, courage, anger, strength, impulse' (Il.).

Compounds: Compp., e.g. δυσ-μενής `evilminded, hostile' (Il.) with δυσμέν-εια, - ίη, - αίνω a. o.; metr. enlarged δυσμενέων, - έοντες (Od.; Leumann Hom Wörter 116 n. 83); ἀ-μενής `forceless' (E.); here the PN Άμενέας, Άμενίσκος and (with unexplained - νν-) Άμεννάμενος? (Bechtel, Namenst. 6 f.); on ἀμενηνός s. v.; PN like Κλεο-μένης; as 1. member in μενο-εικής `suited to the desired, agreeable, richly' (Hom.).

Derivatives: To μένος belong two verbs with remarkable formation: 1. μενεαίνω, - ῆναι `desire strongly, rage' (Il.); prob. with analog. - αίνω from uncontracted μένε-ος etc. (Fraenkel Nom. ag. 1, 54 n. 2 a. 2, 211, Schwyzer 440; cf. κτερε-ΐζω, μελε-ϊστί); diff. Solmsen Wortforsch. 51 n. 2, Chantraine Mél. Pedersen 205ff. (from *μενέ[σ]-ων; but δυσ-μενέων must be explained diff., s. above); cf. on βλεμεαίνω. --2. μενοινάω (- ώω), - ῆσαι `have in mind, aim at, wish, desire' (Il.) with μενοινή f. `intention, desire' (Call., A. R., AP; prob. backformation); origin unclear; quite uncertain hypothesis by Solmsen Wortforsch. 51 f. (from *μενώ f.; cf. Μενοίτης, - οίτιος, which however certainly belongs to οἶτος `fate'); not better Brugmann IF 29, 237f., 12, 152, Wiedemann BB 28, 51, Specht Ursprung 167.

Origin: IE [Indo-European] [726] * men- `mind'

Etymology: As old verbal noun identical with Skt. mánas- n., Av. manah- n. `pirit, thought, will', IE *ménos n.; here OP Haxā-maniš m. PN prop. "who has the mind of a friend", `friendly minded' (Gr. Άχαιμένης; s. v.). Adj. δυσ-μενής = Av. duš-manah- `evilminded', Skt. dur-manas- `sorrowful'; εὑ-μενής: Skt. su-mánas- `wellminded'. But Lith. mẽnas m. `rememberance' is innovation to menù `remember' (cf. Fraenkel s. v.). -- A perfect of situation belonging here is μέμονα (s.v.), cf. γένος: γέγονα; with deviating meaning the present μαίνομαι (s. v.). On μένος: μαίνομαι cf. Z 100f. (of Achilleus): ἀλλ' ὅδε λίην | μαίνεται, οὑδέ τίς οἱ δύναται μένος ἰσοφαρίζειν (Porzig Satzinhalte 34). With diff. formation e.g. Lat. mēns, - tis f. `mind' = Skt. ma-tí- `id.' etc.; IE *mn̥-tí- f.; cf. gēns beside genus = γένος. Further s. μιμνήσκω; cf. also on μένω.

Compounds: also with prefix, e.g. ἐκ-, περι-, ὑπο-, ἐν-.

Derivatives: 1. From the present: μαινάς, - άδος f. `the raging, Bacchantess, Mänade' (Il.; Schwyzer 508, Sommer Münch. Stud. 4, 4); μαινόλης, Aeol. Dor. - λας, f. - λις `raging, excited' (Sapph., A.; Schwyzer 408 and Mus. Helv. 3, 49ff., Chantraine Form. 237). 2. From the root: μανία, - ίη `fury, madness' (IA.) cf. Scheller Oxytonierung 39); μανικός, μανιώδης `furious, raging' (IA.), f. also μανιάς `id.' (after λύσσα: - άς, Schwyzer 508). Verbaladj. like ἐμ-μανής `raging' (IA), prob. hypostasis (to μανία) after ἐμ-φανής a.o. ( ἐμ-μαίνομαι first Act. Ap., J.).

Origin: IE [Indo-European] [726] * men- `think, be excited'

Etymology: On μάντις etc. s. v. With the zero-grade yot-present μαίνομαι from *μαν-ι̯ο-μαι agree formally several forms from diff. languages: Skt. mányate = Av. mainyeite `think', Celt., OIr. do-moiniur `believe, have the opinion', Slav., e.g. OCS mьnjǫ `think, consider as', Lith. miniù `think, remember' (innovation for older menù?; s. Fraenkel Wb.), IE *mn̥-i̯o \/ e-. With μανῆ-ναι agree formally also the Balto-Slav. inf. Lith. minė́-ti, OCS mьně-ti as well as Goth. 3. sg. munai-Þ ' μέλλει, thinks (to do)'; genetic connection however is doubtful, as Goth. munaiÞ may as well agree with Skt. manāy-ati `be eager' and for posthom. μανῆναι (as if from μανέεται) also analogical origin ( φαίνομαι: φανῆναι; J. Schmidt KZ 37, 44) is possible; on Lith. minė́ti etc. s. also Fraenkel l.c. and Lexis 2, 196. Also μήνασθαι (analogical or from *μαν-σ-, Chantraine Gramm. hom. 1, 412) and μέμηνα (after τακῆναι: τέτηκα a. o.) are Greek formations. With the formal reorganisation goes the semantic emancipation; the connection with the widespread group μένος, μέμονα, μιμνήσκω (s. vv.) can still be seen e.g. in Z 100 f.: ἀλλ' ὅδε λίην | μαίνεται οὑδέ τίς οἱ δύναται μένος ἰσοφαρίζειν (cf. Porzig Satzinhalte 34). - [Not with J. Schmidt l.c. and Specht KZ 62, 79 (cf. also Schwyzer 694 n. 3) to μαιμάω.]
