Grammatical information: v.

Meaning: `give way, yield'.

Other forms: Aor. εἶξαι ( ἔ(Ϝ)ειξε Alkm., γῖξαι [i. e. Ϝεῖξαι] χωρῆσαι H.), fut. εἴξω, - ομαι (Il.; cf. Trümpy Fachausdrücke 229f.), perf. ptc. ἐεικώς ( Chron. Lind.)

Compounds: With prefix: ὑπ(ο)-, παρ-, συν-είκω a. o. Lengthened form. ( ὑπ-, παρ)εἰκάθειν or - θεῖν (S., Pl.; Schwyzer 703 n. 6).

Derivatives: ὕπειξις `yielding' (Pl.; vgl. Holt Les noms d'action en σις 164; εἶξις Plu.) with ὑπεικτικός (Arist.; εἰκτικός Phld.).

Origin: IE [Indo-European] [1130] *ueik\/g- `give way, yield'

Etymology: Among the many verbs based on IE. u̯eik- (WP. 1, 232ff.; s. also W.-Hofmann s. vicis und vincō) there is no semantically convincing connection. Semantically agrees to (Ϝ)είκω Skt. vijáte (younger vejate) `fly, give way' and Germ. pres, e. g. OS. wīcan, OHG wīhhan ` weichen etc.', both from IE *u̯eig-, not u̯eik- as in (Ϝ)είκω. The variation may be due to assimilation to consonantic endings; cf. the Skt. aorist forms vik-thās, vik-ta. S. also ἐπίεικτος.
