Schr. 115 w. n. 3); πυρράκης `with reddish hair-colour', "redskin" (LXX, hell. pap.), πυρρίχος `red', of a bull (Theoc.), also as PN; from this πυρρίχη f. n. of a weapondance (Att.) with - ίχιος, - ιχίζω a.o.? 2. πύρρ-α f. n. of a bird (Ael.), - αία f. `red robe?'

Origin: XX [etym. unknown]

Etymology: The relation of the Cor. horsename ΠυρϜος (Myc. Puwo, -wa, - wino? Gallavotti Par. del Pass. 12, 11) and ΠυρϜ-ίας, - αλίων (s. ab.) to IA. πυρρός, is not quite clear, as a PGr. *πυρϜος should have given in IA. *πῠρός\/πῡρος. Therefore one posits since Hoffmann Dial. 3, 589 (s. also Schwyzer 335 f.) usually PGr. *πυρσϜός. πυρρός for *πῡ̆ρός through expressive gemination? On the Ϝο-sufflx in colour-adj. Chantraine Form. 123, Schwyzer 472; on the phonetics also Lejeune Traité de phon. 119 n. 2, Forbes Glotta 36, 262f. Further s. πῦρ [?] and πυρσός (s.v. πῦρ and s.v.). Diff. Schulze Kl. Schr. 115f.: to Lith. pur̃vas `dirt, muck'; on this Fraenkel s.v. w. further lit. -- On derivv. from πυρρός in Lat. a. Rom. Kahane Glotta 39, 133 ff.
