From it - ότης f. `blue stain' (Aret., Gal.), - όομαι `to become blue etc.' (Hp., Arist.) with - ωμα, - ωσις (medic.). -- Also πελιός `id.' (Hp., D., Thphr., Nic. a.o.; on the meaning Capelle RhM 101, 38ff.) with πελι-ώδης (sch.), - ότης f. (medic.). - όομαι (Hellanic., Hp., LXX), from where - ωσις, - ωμα (medic., sch.), - αίνομαι (Hp.); πελλος ( πέλλος?) `id.' (S. Fr.?, Arist., Theoc. a.o.) with -ᾱ̃ς m. `an old person, very old man' (Hdn., H.).

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

Etymology: Built like ὀπιδνός, ἀλαπαδνός, ὀλοφυδνός a.o., either as enlargement of πελιός or as transformation of the older πελιτνός, which has the same orig. only fem. suffix combination as Skt. páliknī f. from * pali-t-n-ī `grey' beside m. pali-t-á- (= Gr. *πελιτός; from there πελιτ-νός after the fem.?). If one sparates the t-suffix (cf. Skt. hári-, hári-t-a- `greenyellow, sallow'; s. χλόη, χλωρός) we arrive at an i-stem, which seems also retained in πελιός (prob. for *πελι-Ϝό-ς; cf. on πολιός), πελι-γόνες, - γᾶνες, perhaps also in πελλός (if from *πελι̯ός). But the last can also stand for *πελ-νός, for which esp. πιλνόν φαιόν H. (with restored - λν-) seems to speak(?). Still a different formation is shown by πέλεια, perh. also πελαργός (?; s. vv.). -- WP. 2, 53f., Pok. 804f., W.-Hofmann s. palleō w. rich lit. On the stemformation (partly hypothetical) Specht Ursprung 117, 187, 194. -- Cf. πολιός w. further connections. The forms in - δνος and those with - γ- rather suggest a Pre-Greek word (note also the deviant πιλνός).
