Grammatical information: m.

Meaning: des. of a leading official, in Athens member of the governing committee of the council, `foreman, chief of affairs, prytan' (Dor. IA.); also name of a Lycian (Ε 678).

Other forms: Aeol. πρό-.

Compounds: Some compp., e.g. ναυ-πρύτανις = ναύαρχος (Pi.).

Derivatives: 1. Adj. πρυταν-ικός (IA. inscr.), - ειος (Aristid.) `belonging to p.'; 2. subst. - εῖον, Ion. -ήϊον n. `residence of p., city hall' (IA.), in Athens also name of a (judicial) court; τὰ πρυτανεῖα `legal costs' (Att.); here Πρυταν-ῖτις (Herm. Hist.), - εία (Syros) f. surn. of Έστία as protectress of the Prytaneion (cf. Redard 212); 3. Verb πρυταν-εύω `to be P., to lead something' (h.

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

Etymology: Cognate with the Etruscan title of an official purʮne, eprʮni, πρύτανις belongs undoubtedly to the Anatolian-Aegaean element of the Greek constitutional terminology (cf. βασιλεύς, ἄναξ, τύραννος and Schwyzer 62 a. 462). The Aeol. byform πρότανις (Att. inscr. incid. προταν-εύω, - εία) can, like Phoc. a. Cret. βρυτανεύω, - εῖον, represent the uncertain pronunciation of a foreign word (but it may also go back on popular association wih πρό `in front'). Earlier (s. Curtius 283 w. older lit., WP. 2, 36; also Schwyzer-Debrunner 505) considered as IE, with πρυ- as old byform of προ; here further διαπρύσιος, πρυμνός, πρυλέες. -- For Pre-Gr.-IE origin Heubeck Praegraeca 67f.; cf also Linderski Glotta 40, 157 ff., who tries to connect also Hatt. puri `lord'.
