Origin: IE [Indo-European] [198] * demh₁- `build'

Etymology: The present δέμω has a parallel in the German. verb Goth. ga-timan, OS teman, OHG zeman ` geziemen, fit'. To this group belongs the r-stem for `building wood', e. g. ONo. timbr, OHG zimbar, NHG Zimmer with the denomin. Goth. timrjan etc. ` zimmern', PGm. * tim(b)ra-, IE * demh₁-ro- (disyllabic root with germanic loss of the - h₁-; cf. νεό-δμᾱ-τος, δέ-δμᾱ-μαι), from *-dm̥h₁-. The root had - h₁-: Beekes, Development (291 Add. to p. 202), pointing to notations with η in Pindar; thus Ruijgh, Lingua 25 (1970) 316, who points to Myc. demeote. - Here further Hier.-Luw. ta+ mi-ha `I built' (Kronasser ΜΝΗΜΗΣ ΧΑΡΙΝ 1, 201). - See further δόμος, δῶμα, δεσπότης, 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. IV^a), 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).
