Grammatical information: v.

Meaning: `care about something, for something' (Il.; mostly with negation);

Other forms: only pres.

Compounds: Act. κατ-εμπάζω `take hold of' ( ὁπόταν χρειώ σε κατεμπάζῃ Nic. Th. 695).

Origin: IE [Indo-European]X [probably] [787] * peh₂- `protect, feed'

Etymology: No good etymology. Connection with ἔμπης `in any case' (s. v.) is semantically difficult. Because of the Swed. expression for `care for something' fästa sig vid något prop. "to attach yourself to" one might think of an original *ἐμ-πάγ-ι̯ομαι, to ἐμ-πᾰγῆναι (Ion. πᾰκ-τός, πᾰκτοῦν). - Not with Lagercrantz KZ 34, 392ff. from *ἔμπω after μαπέειν `take' (formally impossible). Unclear ἐμπαστῆρας μύθων πιστωτάς, μάρτυρας H., which Latte corrects in *ἐμπιστῆρας. - A.Β. (RPh. 70, 1996) connects * peh₂- `protect' (Beekes, Development 173); but cf. Pok. 787 *peh₂k\/g- `fit together'.
