Other forms: Aor. ἰύξαι (Pi. P. 4, 237). Also ἀν-ιύζω (Q. S.). Cf. ἀβιυκτον (cod. - ηκτον) ἐφ' οὗ οὐκ ἐγένετο βοη ἀπολλυμένου H., and ἐκβιούζει θρηνεῖ μετὰ κραυγῆς H. (DELG explains the F as analogy after ἰάχω, which seems unnecessarily complicated (s. below).

Derivatives: ἰυγή (Orac. ap. Hdt. 9, 43, S., Nic.), ἰυγμός (Σ 572, A., E.) `crying', also ἰύγματα pl. `id.' (A. Dict. in PSI 11, 1209, 17); ἰύκτης m. `howler, flutist', only in ἰύκτᾰ (Theoc. 8, 30; after ἠπύτα, ἠχέτα, Fraenkel Nom. ag. 1, 223). With secondary nasalization ἰυγκτόν τορόν [`piercing'] and ἰυγγοδρομεῖν ἐκβοηθεῖν. Βοιωτοί H.

Origin: PG [a word of Pre-Greek origin]

Etymology: On ἴυγξ s. v. Verbalized interjection, cf. ἰΰ (Hdn. Gr. 1, 506; or backformation form ἰύζω?). Also ἰού, ἰώ, ἰαῦ, but these may have had another initial (s. below). S. Schwyzer-Debrunner 600. (From the interjection also Ἴυος surname of Dionysos (Lycaonia; cf. Robinson AmJournArch. 31, 26ff., Wahrmann Glotta 19, 161). - The forms ἀβίυκτον (cod. - ηκτον) ἐφ' οὗ οὑκ ἐγένετο βοη ἀπολλυμένου (cf. Latte l. c.) and ἐκβιούζει θρηνεῖ μετὰ κραυγῆς H., point to *Ϝιύζω (s. above). Cf. Schulze Kl. Schr. 335. Fur. 277. - Further W.-Hofmann s. iūbilō, Pok. 514. S. also ἰβύ and 1. αὔω. - The word is typically Pre-Greek (e.g. the prenasalization; note the notation - βιουζει with ου).As Pre-Greek does not seem to know a sequence of two full vowels, I assume that it had (here initial) *w^y-, a palatalized *w.
