Grammatical information: v.

Meaning: `to sway, to rock, to shake lots, to draw lots', midd. `to swing oneself', also `to jump, to hop'.

Other forms: Aor. πῆλαι (Il.), midd. πήλασθαι (Call.), πάλτο ( ἀν-, κατ-έπαλτο s. bel.), redupl. ἀμ-πεπαλών (Hom.; also πεπάλ-εσθε, - έσθαι for - ασθε, - άσθαι resp. - αχθε, - άχθαι? s.bel.), aor. pass. ἀνα-παλείς (Str.), perf. midd. πέπαλμαι (A.).

Compounds: Also w. prefix, late ἀνα- ( ἀμ-). -- As 2. member in ἐγχέσ-, σακέσ-παλος `swaying the spear, shield' (ep. Il.; Trümpy Fachausdrücke 28).

Derivatives: 1. πάλος m. `(shaken) lot' (Sapph., Hdt., trag.), ἄμπαλ-ος m. `fresh casting' (of the lot, Pi.); ἀναπάλ-η f. name of a dance (Ath.); 2. παλτόν n. `javelin' (A., X.) with ἐπάλταξα παλτῳ̃ ἔβαλον H., - ός adj.

Bechtel Lex. 266).

Origin: XX [etym. unknown]

Etymology: As common basis of all forms served παλ- (*πάλ-ι̯ω, *πάλ-σαι); through false analysis of the compounds κατ-επ-αλτο, ἀν-επ-αλτο (to ἅλλομαι `jump, hop') in κατ-, ἀν-έπαλτο one had an apparently augmented ἔ-παλτο, from where πάλτο and backformed πάλλομαι = ἅλλομαι arose (Geiss Münch. Stud. 11, 62ff. with Leumann Hom. Wörter 60 ff., with lit. a. further details). -- No cognates outside Greek. The connection with Lat. pellō, pe-pul-ī `set in movement with a push' (Curtius 268 with Fick, Ernout-Meillet) seems possible in spite of Solmsen Wortforsch. 18 f., Bq and WP. 2, 57; cf. παλμός = pulsus; further s. πελάζω (not ἀπελλαι)}. Here also Slav., e.g. Russ. polóch `revolt, commotion, confusion' (Solmsen PBBeitr. 27, 364, WP. 2, 52; further lit. in Vasmer s.v.)? Not with Fraenkel Mél. Bq 1, 358 and Pok. 801 to pel- `flow, swim' (cf. πολύς, πλέω, πίμπλημι); diff., also to be rejected, Palmer Glotta 27, 134ff., Richardson Trans. Phil. Soc. 1936, 101 ff. -- Hardly here πελεμίζω, πόλεμος, s. vv. - The analysis given is of course quite uncertain.
