1 παροιμία
Grammatical information: f.Meaning: `proverb, saying' (Att. etc.), also `incidental remark' (Herod.2,61; cf. Headlam ad loc.), `comparison' (Ev. Jo.; cf. Wackernagel IF 31, 265 [= Kl.Schr.2, 1242 n.1).Derivatives: παροιμ-ιώδης `proverbial' (Plu.), - ιακός `id.', also name of a versemeasure (Plu., Heph.), - ιάζομαι, -ω `to speak in proverbs etc.' (Pl., Arist.).Origin: GR [a formation built with Greek elements]Etymology: Abstract formation from πάρ-οιμος or παρ' οἰμον, οἴμην; semantically unclear. By the ancients derived from οἶμος `course, way', e.g. H.: βιωφελης λόγος, παρὰ την ὁδὸν λεγόμενος (cf. πάροιμος γείτων, παροιμώσαντες ἐκτραπέντες τῆς ὁδοῦ); similar Bieler RhM 85, 240ff. After Osthoff BB 24. 161 ff. however from οἴμη `song, reason' referring to NHG Bei-spiel, OHG. MHG bī-spel (the Germ. word rather loan-translation?).Page in Frisk: 2,476Greek-English etymological dictionary (Ελληνικά-Αγγλικά ετυμολογική λεξικό) > παροιμία

2 οἶμος
Grammatical information: m. (also f. after ὁδός a.o.; Schwyzer- Debrunner 34 n. 3).Meaning: `streak' (Λ 24 οἶμοι κυάνοιο, on a θώρηξ), `path, road, track', also `strip, tract of land' (Hes. Op. 290, Pi., trag., Pl., Call., Men.), also connected with song and play (s. οἴμη).Other forms: (also οἷμος, s. below).Compounds: Few compp.: δύσ-οιμος ( τύχα A. Ch. 945 [lyr.]; after H. = ἐπὶ κακῳ̃ ἥκουσα, δύσοδος). ἄοιμος ἄπορος and πάροιμος ὁ γείτων H. -- On παροιμία s.v.; cf. also ἑτοῖμος.Origin: XX [etym. unknown]Etymology: As an aspirated form οἷμος is ascertained (e.g. Hdn. Gr. 1, 546; cf. also φροίμιον [s. οἴμη] and ἄοιμος), an IE basis * oi-mo-: Skt. é-man- n. `path, walk' (to εἶμι; Curtius 401, also Schwyzer 381) cannot be considered as probable. Against the modification therefor proposed by Sommer Lautst. 29 * oi-s-mo- (to Lith. eimė̃ f. `going, stride, movement') Osthoff Arch. f. Religionswiss. 11, 63, who earlier (BB 24, 168 ff.) proposed for it *Ϝοῖ-μο-ς, to ἵεμαι `move forward' (s. v.). Diff. Schulze Kl. Schr. 665: to οἱρών ' εὑθυωρία' (s.v.); on this cf. Specht KZ 66, 27 n. 3. -- Here perh. also οἴμη, s. v. DELG frankly calls the origin `obscure'.Page in Frisk: 2,363Greek-English etymological dictionary (Ελληνικά-Αγγλικά ετυμολογική λεξικό) > οἶμος
