1 πρόμος
Grammatical information: m.Meaning: `protagonist' (Hom.), `commander' (trag.).Etymology: Usually (since Corssen KZ 3, 246, Curtius a.o.) with Umbr. promom `primum', Goth. OWNo. fram `forward' identified as old superlative of IE * pro in πρό etc. Beside it with zero grade the hapax πράμος (s.v.) like Goth. fruma `first, earlier'(?). -- Because in Hom. the word means only `champion (Vorkämpfer)' the hypothesis must be considered, that πρόμος was simply shortened from πρόμαχος (Hentze in Fick Curt. Stud. 9, 196, Schulze KZ 32, 195 = Kl. Schr. 310, Bechtel Lex. s.v., Risch $ 85) ; the meaning `leader' would be due to misunderstanding of the ep. word. -- The metr. difficult ἅπ. λεγ. πρόμνοι A. Supp. 904 ( ἀγοὶ πρόμος; lyr.) may be a fault of the tradition; diff. Forssman KZ 79, 11 ff. (s. πρυμνός).Page in Frisk: 2,600Greek-English etymological dictionary (Ελληνικά-Αγγλικά ετυμολογική λεξικό) > πρόμος
