Wackernagel in Bechtel Dial. 1. 454 and Mayrhofer s. v. -- To be noted further the very rare and late attested σιαίνομαι, aor. σιάνθην `to meet antipathy, disgust' (pap. Vl--VII^p, H., Suid., Gloss.), σιαίνω `to cause antipathy' (sch.), which seems to be a transformation of the synonymous σικχαίνω, - ομαι (s. v.) after σίαι and similar unliterary forms. -- It cold derive from a Pre-Greek *s^yal-.
