1 μεσόδμη
Grammatical information: f.Meaning: `crossbeam', from wall to wall of a building or from side to side of a ship, in which the mast was let down (details in Bechtel Lex. s. v.; Od., Hp., Q. S.).Other forms: μεσόδμᾱ (Delph. IVa), μεσόμνη (Att. inscr.; on the phonetics Schwyzer 208).Origin: GR [a formation built with Greek elements]Etymology: Prop. "what belongs to the middle of the house", compound of μέσος and the zero grade of the word for `house', δεμ-, δμ-, seen in δεσ-πότης and δά-πεδον (s. vv.; cf. on δόμος) with ᾱ-suffix: μεσό-δμ-ᾱ like *ἑκατόμ-βϜ-ᾱ (J.Schmidt Pluralbild. 221f., Schwyzer 425 a. 449). From housebuilding the term was transferred to shipbuilding. Often the 2. member - δμη is directly derived from δέμω `build' as zero grade root-noun (cf. νέο-δμᾱ-τος, δέ-δμη-μαι), so "middle-building"; thus Prellwitz BB 17, 172, Persson Beitr. 648, Hermann Gött. Nachr. 1943, 7; cf. also Benveniste BSL 51, 18. Sommer Nominalbild. 76 does not decide the matter. The gloss μεσόδμα γυνή \< ὡς Λάκωνες\> is unclear (gl. 947 has μεσοδόμα).Page in Frisk: 2,213-214Greek-English etymological dictionary (Ελληνικά-Αγγλικά ετυμολογική λεξικό) > μεσόδμη
