περι-ειλέω

Grammatical information: v.

Meaning: `roll, turn, wind, revolve' (most hell.).

Other forms: ἴλλω, εἴλλω (Att.; s. below). The non-present forms, which are most compounds, are based on the presents: εἰλῆσαι, εἰλήσω, εἴληκα etc.; from ἴλλω only ἰλλάμην (IG 5 (2): 472, 11; Megalopolis II-III^p).

Compounds: Often with prefix, esp. ἐν-, περι-ειλέω (X., hell.), -( ε)ίλλω (Th. 2, 76; codd. Ar. Ra. 1066), also ἀπ-, δι-, ἐξ-, ἐπ-, κατ-, παρ-ειλέω (hell.), ἐξ-, κατ-ίλλω (X., Hp.).

Derivatives: From εἰλέω: εἰλεός (s. v.; sec. adapted?); ( ἐν-, ἐξ-, ἐπ-, κατ-, περι-)εἴλησις `winding etc.' (Pl.), ( ἐν-, περι-) εἴλημα `id.' (J., Poll.); εἰλετίας kind of reed (Thphr.), εἰλητάριον `winding, roll' (Aët.), εἰληδόν adv. `in windings' (AP). From ἴλλω: ἰλλός `looking aslant' (s. v.) with many derivations; ἰλλάς f. `snare, knot' (Ν 572; Chantr. Form. 351) with ἰλλίζει δεσμεύει, συστρέφει, ἀγελάζει H. (also to 1. ἴλλω); unclear ἰλλάδας γονάς ++ ἀγελειὰς καὶ συστροφάς H. (S. Fr. 70 and E. Fr. 837); prob. to 1. - Here also several nouns that have formally been separated from the verb: s. ἕλιξ, εἶλιγξ, ἕλμις, ἑλένη, εὑλή, εὔληρα, λῶμα, ὅλμος, οὖλος a. o.; further ἀλινδέω, also αἰόλος; lastly the u-enlarged εἰλύω with many derivatives (s. v.).

Origin: IE [Indo-European] [1140] *u̯el- `turn, wind, revolve'

Etymology: Like 1. εἰλέω, ( ἐ)ίλλω `press' also εἰλέω, ἴλλω `turn' continue a n-present *Ϝελ-νέω, resp. a reduplicated *Ϝί-Ϝλ-ω. The formal falling together led often also to semantic coincidence; so for A. R. ἰλλόμενος in 2, 27 λέων... ἰλλόμενός περ ὁμίλῳ, also when originally not `surrounded', but `pressed', identical with the formally identical ptc. in 1, 129 δεσμοῖς ἰλλόμενος. - Also in the other languages there are many words that go back on the flexible notion `turn, wind, revolve' etc.; cf. e.g. OIr. fillim `turn, bend', if with Pedersen Vergl. Gramm. d. kelt. Spr. 2, 522 an n-present (but hardly Lith. veliù, vélti `confuse hair(s)' (= εἴλλω?; s. on 1.). A special group are the u-enlargements, s. on εἰλύω. Further cf. Arm. glem `roll, throw down', which may continue *u̯ēl- or *u̯ōl-ei̯ō (Meillet MSL 8, 163; 9, 144; uncertain Skt. valati, -te (class.) `turn', s. Tedesco JournAmOrSoc. 67, 100ff. - See Solmsen Unt. 229ff.

Origin: XX [etym. unknown]

Etymology: The above strongly productive group of words can because of its regular system and extension not be very old. On the other hand there is nothing in it, that could point to loans. So an inherited word of recent date with unknown prehistory and without helpful non-Greek agreements (quite doubtful Lat. [Umbr.] strebula pl. n. `the meat on the haunches of sacricial animals'; on this W.-Hofmann s. v.). A (popular) byform with β is maintained in στρεβλός (s. v.), στρόβιλος, στραβός [this is improbable to me] -- Through στρέφω a. cogn. older words for `turn etc.', e.g. εἰλέω, εἰλύω and σπερ- in σπεῖρα, σπάρτον etc. were partly pushed aside or replaced.

Grammatical information: f.

Meaning: `convolution, volute, tendril, curl, spiral' (Il.); also as adjective of βόες, et alia ( ποταμός, δρόμος), s. below.

Compounds: As 1. member in ἑλίκ-ωψ (s. v.), ἑλικ-άμπυξ (Pi.), ἑλικο-στέφανος (B.) a. o., also, referring to ἑλίσσω, ἑλι- in ἑλί-τροχος `turning a wheel' (A. Th. 205 [lyr.]); on ἑλίχρυσος s. v. As 2. member in τετρα-έλιξ kind of thistle (Thphr., H.), also in ἀμφι-έλισσα, ep. adj. of νηῦς (Hom.), later also of other things (e. g. ἱμάσθλη), prop `forming a ἕλιξ on both sides'.

Derivatives: ἑλίκη 1. `willow' s. v.; 2. `spiral, turning' (Arist.), also name of the Great Bear (because of its turning movement; cf. Scherer Gestirnnamen 133but not as adjective); 3. εἱλικόεις `with turnings' (Nic., Opp.; metr. lengthened). Denomin. verb ἑλίσσω, - ίττω, Ion. also εἰλίσσω after εἰλέω (not with Solmsen Unt. 230ff. from *ἐ-Ϝελίσσω), aor. ἑλίξαι, εἰλίξαι `make a turning, wind, turn' (Il.); also with prefix ἐν-, περι- etc.; from there ἑλιγμός ( εἰ-) `turning, whirl' (Hdt.), ἕλιγμα ( εἴ-) `bracelet, curl' (Sapph.

Fraenkel Nom. ag. 1, 244; ἑλίγδην ( εἰ-) adv. `turning itself'. Cf. (2.) ἐλελίζω.

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

Etymology: Formation as ἧλιξ, χόλιξ, δέλφιξ a. o. (Chantr. Form. 382f.), so prob. from a noun, which was perh. derived from εἰλέω (*Ϝελ-νέ-ω) `turn, wind' (s. v.). - The ep. epithet ἕλιξ is prob. with Bechtel Lex. s. v. and Risch 149 a shortened compound (*ἑλικό-πους, - κραιρα?). Note that the suffix - ικ- mostly makes Pre-Greek words (like - υκ-, cf. on κῆρυξ).

Page in Frisk: 1,495-496

Grammatical information: f.

Meaning: `twist, for instance of a snake, of a network, spiral', des. of everal wound or cicular objetcs, e.g. `rope, belt, bead, round base of a pillar' (Ion. poet., also hell. a. late prose; v.l. ζ 269); also as military term = Lat. manipulus (hell.; on the explanation [prop. `bundle'] Debrunner IF 48, 244), later = cohors (inscr. a. pap., Act. Ap. a.o.).

Compounds: Some compp., e.g. σπειρο-κέφαλον n. `base and capital of a column', ὑπό-σπειρον n. "what lies under the round base", `square slab, πλίνθος' (inscr.).

Derivatives: 1. σπειρ-ίον n. `little column base' (Hero); 2. - ικός `belonging to a σ.' (Hero); 3. - ίτης (sc. λίθος) `stone for a column base' (inscr. Didyma; Redard 64 w. n. 26, with other interpretation); 4. - αία f. `privet' (Thphr.; from the form of the inflorescence); 5. - ηδόν `in convolutions, in a circle' (Opp., AP). 6. denom. verb σπειρ-άομαι, also w. περι- a. o., `to convolve' (hell. a. late), older συ-σπειράομαι `to wind, to pull together' (Pl., X., Arist. a. o.), also act. συ-, περι-σπειράω `to wind, to pull together' (hell. pap., D.S. a.o.); from this σπείρ-ᾱμα, Ion. - ημα n. `twist, for instance of a snake, band etc.' (A., Arist., Nic. a.o.; also enlarged from σπεῖρα? Chantraine Form. 184). 7. Also ( συ-) σπειρόομαι `to wind (together)' (Hp., Thphr.), act. aor. σπειρῶσαι `to swathe' (Call.; from σπεῖρον?).

Origin: IE [Indo-European]X [probably] [991] * sper- `turn, wind'

Etymology: Like πεῖρα, στεῖρα, μοῖρα feminine ια-derivation; whether first from a noun or verb, cannot be decided (cf. Schwyzer 474, Chantraine Form. 98 f.). Finally in any case from the same verb `wind, twine', which is seen in σπάρτον, σπεῖρον and σπάργανον(?). The primary verb was replaced partly by the secondary σπειράομαι, σπαργανόω, partly by other verbs like εἰλέω, εἰλύω.
