Other forms: -α (-η), - ον (Hom., Hes., Pi., A., S.), οἶϜος (Cypr.).

Dialectal forms: Myc. owowe = οἰϜ-ώϜης `with a single ear'.

Compounds: As 1. member a.o. in οἰο-πόλος `wandering solely, alone' (Hom., Pi.) with οἰοπολ-έω (E. in lyr., AP).

Derivatives: οἰόθεν, strengthening to οἶος `wholly alone' (H 39, 226); Schwyzer- Debrunner 700, Chantraine Gramm. hom. 2, 151; explanation by Leumann Hom. Wörter 258 ff.; denom. aor. οἰωθῆναι (: *οἰόομαι) `to be left alone' (Il., Q. S.). -- Details on the use of οἶος in Ruijgh L'élém. ach. 127 f.

Origin: IE [Indo-European] ]286] *oiu̯o- `one, only' (lar. uncertain)

Etymology: Identical with OIran., Av. aēva-, OP. aiva- `alone, one', IE *oiu̯o-s; fomation like *μόνϜος (\> μόνος), *ὅλϜος (\> ὅλος), s. vv. Beside it IE * oino-s, s. οἴνη. On itself stands Skt. éka-'one', PInd. (Mitanni) aika-; perh. IE * oiko-s, but perh. shortened from *ai-u̯a-ka- (doubting Mayrhofer Indoir. Journ. 4, 146 n. 75). Further connection with pronominal e-, i- (WP. 1, 101, Pok. 286, W.-Hofmann s. ūnus w. rich lit.) is uncontrolable. Cf. also Fraenkel Glotta 4, 38 w. lit., Gonda Reflexions 79 f.
