Grammatical information: adv.

Meaning: meaning uncertain, in στῆ δ' εὐράξ (Λ 251, Ο 541), perh. `on one side, near, at the side'; further Lyc. 920 εὐρὰξ Άλαίου Παταρέως ἀνακτόρων `near the temple of Ά. Π.'; as interj. Ar. Av. 1258 εὐράξ, πατάξ.

Origin: XX [etym. unknown]

Etymology: Uncertain. On the formation cf. λάξ, ὀδάξ, μουνάξ, διαμπάξ a. o. (Schwyzer 620). Connected (so still Stolz IF 18, 460f.) with εὐρύς and explained as `ἐκ πλαγίου' (e. g. H.). Acc. to Bq with Meister Herodas 749 however to be read as δε Ϝράξ und to be understood as `en heurtant', from ῥάττειν, ῥάσσειν, ῥήσσειν `nudge, bump'; on the meaning cf. ἴκταρ `near' and parallels mentioned there.

Origin: IE [Indo-European]X [probably] [728] * men- `small, alone'

Etymology: Beside PGr. *μόνϜος, from where Ion. μοῦνος, Att. etc. μόνος (Kretschmer KZ 31, 444), stands, though in meaning a little apart, *μανϜός in μᾱνός, μανός (s.v.) `thin, rare', which agrees with Arm. manr, gen. manu `small, thin'. An element -u̯o- appears also in the synonymous οἶϜος (s. οἶος) and in ὅλος (s.v.) of related meaning; further *μόνϜος is isolated. A quite different formation with velar shows Skt. manā́k `a little', Lith. meñkas `scanty', Toch. B meṅki `less' a.o.; ambiguous is Hitt. maninku- `short, near' (formation as Lat. prop-inquus? Duchesne-Guillemin Trans. Phil. Soc. 1946 p. 82f., Benveniste BSL 50, 41). On the occasional contact with the group of μινύθω s.v.; also WP. 2, 266 f. Pok. 728 f., W.-Hofmann s. minor. -- Improbable Hahn Lang. 18, 88.
