2 κνίψ
κνίψ, κνῑπόςGrammatical information: m.Meaning: name of unknown insects (acc. to Arist. Sens. 444b 12 small ants), that infest several trees and plants (Ar., Arist., Thphr., LXX).Compounds: As 1. member in κνιπο-λόγος m. name of a woodpecker, σκνιπο-φάγος `eating σκνῖπες' (Arist.).Derivatives: κνίπειος `belonging to a κνίψ' (Zos. Alch.). In remote or doubtful connection to κνίψ, σκνίψ there are several expressive, but in the literature only rarely found words, that indicate esp. niggardliness or different eye-diseases: κνιπός (AP), σκνιπός (Anon. in EN, H.), σκνιφός (Phryn.) `niggard'; with κνιπεύω `be niggardly' and κνιπεία (Doroth. Astrol.); further in the meaning `feeble-midedness etc.': κνιπός (Semon.), σκνιφός H., ὑπό-σκνιπος, - σκνιφος, - σχνιφος `slightly short-sighted' (pap.), κνιπά πτίλη H.; with κνιπότης `eye-inflammation' (Hp. Loc. Hom. 13, Erot.), κνιπόομαι `be inflamed, of the eyes' (H. in κεκνιπωμένοι), also `be infested with mildew, fire, of fruits' (H. ib.). Beside the names for eye-diseases etc. there are expressions for `dark': σκνιφαῖος (v. l. - παῖος) adjunt of ὁδίτης `who walks in the darkness ' (Theoc. 16, 93; after κνεφαῖος?), σκνῖφος τὸ σκότος H. - Further there are two denomin.: κνιπεῖν σείειν, ξύειν μέλαθρα καὶ δοκούς H. (prop. of the κνῖπες?), σκνίπτειν νύσσειν H.Origin: PG [a word of Pre-Greek origin]X [probably]Etymology: With κνίψ, σκνίψ rhyme θρίψ and ἴψ (s. vv.). Both ( σ)κνίψ and the words for `niggard' could go back to the idea of pinching and stinging (cf. σκνίπτω). Perh. the terms for weak-sight etc. might come from closing the eyes; or perh. from plant-diseases (caused by κνῖπες; s. κνιπόομαι). - One compares words for `pinching etc.' in Baltic and Germanic, e. g. Latv. kniêbt, knīpêt, MLDu. nipen; Pok. 562, Fraenkel Lit. et. Wb. s. kneĩbti. Wether they are real cognates, remains uncertain with these popular words. Cf. on - κναίω, κνίζω, κνύω. - Though the σ- could be an IE s-movable, the hole rather suggests a Pre-Greek word: very small animals, the long ῑ, the variation π\/φ; cf. the words cited.Page in Frisk: 1,885-886Greek-English etymological dictionary (Ελληνικά-Αγγλικά ετυμολογική λεξικό) > κνίψ

4 Εὑρώπη
Grammatical information: f.Meaning: 1. daughter of Phoinix (or of Agenor) and Telephassa, by Zeus who abducted her to Crete in the shape of a bull (Hes. Th. 357, Hdt.); 2. geographical notion, first as name of the mainland (as opposed to the peninsulae like the Peloponnese and isles), later the continent as opposed to Anatolia and Libya (h. Ap. 251, Pi. N. 4, 70, A. Fr. 191, Hdt.).Origin: PG [a word of Pre-Greek origin]Etymology: Unexplained. Probably Pre-Greek (thus e. g. Sommer IF 55, 185 n. 1). IE etymologies (P.-W. s. v., 6, 1287ff., and Lewy Fremdw. 139f.; Aly Glotta 5, 63ff. (from εὑρώς and ὤψ, not convincing) have failed. Semitic interpretations (Lewy l. c. and bei Grimme Glotta 14, 17) must be rejected. There are several names in - ωπ (- οπ-); for Εὐρ- cf. Εὔρῑπος. Originally it indicated a land in the north of the Balkan (later Greece). The origin of the girl from Phoenicia is phantasy; see Beekes, Kadmos xx (2004\/5)xxx-xxx.Page in Frisk: 1,593Greek-English etymological dictionary (Ελληνικά-Αγγλικά ετυμολογική λεξικό) > Εὑρώπη
