Derivatives: πιθάκνη (Thasos V^a, also in mss. of Att. beside) φιδάκνη (A., D., Thphr., Moer.), Dor. πισάκνα (H.) f.; diminutiv. like κυλίχνη, πελίχνη a.o. (Chantraine Form. 195); - άκνη for - ίκνη (from - ίχνη n-. breathdissim.) because of ι in πιθ-[? improbable]; Att. φιδ- for φιτ- (cf. χιτών) after φείδομαι?; πιθάκνιον n. (Eub., Hyp., Luc.), - νίς f., φιδ- (Poll.). -- Other derivv.: 1. diminut. πιθ-ίσκος m. (Plu. Cam. 20), - άριον n. (H., EM); 2. πιθ-(ε)ών, - ῶνος m. `cellar' (com., inscr.

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

Etymology: Without exact agreement outside Greek. Great similarity show Lat. fidēlia f. `vase of clay, glass etc.', whih may stand for * fides-liā, and some northgerm. words, e.g. OWNo. biða f. `milktub'. So it would be a a very old designation of a vessel; common IE basis * bhidh-. Details a. rich lit. (and further connection with * bheidh- `bind' which is to be rejected) in W.-Hofmann s.v.; also WP. 2, 185 and Pok. 153. -- Lat. fiscus deviates semantically and is phonetically unclear. - The Myc. form shows that this is a Pre-Greek word. Also φιδ- is problematic.

Grammatical information: v.

Meaning: `to open'.

Other forms: and οἴγω, Aeol. inf. ὀείγην (SGDI 214, 43), later also ἀν-οιγνύω (Demetr. Eloc.), ipf. ὠΐγνυντο (Β 809, Θ 58), ἀνα-οίγεσκον (Ω 455), -ῳ̃γον, - έῳγον, aor. οἶξαι ( ᾦξε, ὤϊξε Hom., ἀν-έῳξε Hom., Att.), pass. οἰχθῆναι (Pi., Att.), fut. οἴξω, perf. ἀν-έῳγα (intr. Hp. and late), with - έῳχα, *έῳγμαι (Att.), ὤϊκται (Herod.), ἀν-ῳ̃κται (Theoc.),

Compounds: Mostly w. prefix esp. ἀν-, from which a.o. ὑπ-, παρ-ανοίγνυμι, ὑπ-, συν-ανοίγω with ἤνοιγον, ἤνοιξα, ἠνοίχθην, ἠνοίγην, ἠνέῳξα etc. (X., LXX).

Derivatives: Few derivv. ἄνοιξις f. `opening' (Th., Thphr.), ἄνοιγ-μα n. `opening' (LXX), - εύς m. `opener' (Dam. Pr.), ἐπανοίκ-τωρ (Man.), - της (Arg. Man.) m. `springer'. As 2. member in πιθ-οίγ-ια n. pl. `opening of a barrel', opening feast of the Anthesterien in Athens (Plu.). The judgment of these forms is partly uncertain and disputable. Starting from the inscriptional attested ὀείγην, i.e. ὀ-(Ϝ)είγην, with zero grade ὠ-(Ϝ)ίγ-νυντο (cf. ἴγνυντο ἠνοίγοντο H.; very uncertain), Fick and Bechtel (s. Lex. s. v.) want to replace the suspected ep. ἀναοίγεσκον as well as ep. ἀνέῳγε, ἀνέῳξε by *ἀν-ο-(Ϝ)είγεσκον, *ἀν-ό-(Ϝ)ειγε, *ἀν-ό-(Ϝ)ειξε, where ὀ- would be either prothetic or prefixal (cf. ὀ-κέλλω and 2. ὀ-).

Origin: IE [Indo-European] [1130] *h₃u̯eig- `make give way'

Etymology: The judgment of these forms is partly uncertain and disputable. Starting from the inscriptional attested ὀείγην, i.e. ὀ-(Ϝ)είγην, with zero grade ὠ-(Ϝ)ίγ-νυντο (cf. ἴγνυντο ἠνοίγοντο H.; very uncertain), Fick and Bechtel (s.

Not certainly explained. With Ϝιγ-, Ϝειγ- agree formally Skt. (midd.) vij-áte, vej-ate `give ground, flee', to which a.o. Skt. véga- = Av. vaēγa- m. (IE *u̯óigo-s) `violent movement, pressure, clash, blow' (further s. εἴκω); so ὀ-(Ϝ)εί-γω, ὀ-(Ϝε)ίγ-νυμι prop. `make give way, push, open (a door)'? (Bechtel Lex. s.v. after Wackernagel). -- Diff., hardly to be preferred, Brugmann IF 29, 238 ff.: from *Ϝο-(ε)ιγ- to ἐπ-είγω with the same prefix as in Ϝο-φληκόσι, s. ὀφείλω. -- On the individual forms cf. Schwyzer 653 n. 10 w. lit. (also 412, 434 w. n. 3, 772), Chantraine Gramm. hom. 1. 152, 303 a. 480. S. also ἐπῳχατο. The analysis leads to *h₃u̯(e)ig-.
