ἀμφι-κεάζω

Grammatical information: v.

Meaning: `split, pound, rub to pieces' (Il.).

Other forms: Aor. κεάσ(σ)αι, pass. κεασθῆναι, perf. ptc. pass. κεκεασμένος

Compounds: also with ἀμφι-, δια-,

Derivatives: εὑκέα-τος `easy to split' (ε 60, Theoc. 25, 248), κέαρνα σίδηρα τεκτονικά [`carpenter's axe'] (after σκέπαρνον); uncertain Κεάδαο gen. (Β 847).

Origin: IE [Indo-European]X [probably] [586] * kes(h₂?)- `cut'

Etymology: The disyll. aorist κεά-σ(σ)αι (with facultative analogical - σσ-) as in ἐλά-σ(σ)αι, πετά-σ(σ)αι etc.; the other forms are new, κεάζω. Another presentformation perhaps in κείων (ξ 425, verse end), if with Schulze Q. 434 for κεῶν from *κεάων (after Persson Studien 134 a. o. however from *κεϜι̯ω to NHG hauen etc.; not preferable). After Palmer Interpretation 186-8 also Myc. ke-ke-me-na ( ko-to-na) here as `divided' (?; cf. also on κεῖμαι); but see Ruijgh Études $ 327f. - With κεα-, if \< *κεσα-, agrees Skt. fut. śasi-ṣyati `he will cut'; this form however is doubtful, as Skt. śas-(a)ti `cut' has normally monosyll. śas-. From Gr. κεσ- with certain and Skt. śas- with possible IE. e (*ḱes-) differs Lat. castrō, - āre `cut' through the unexplained a (reduced vowel?). On other, quite hypothetical nominal formations (best Russ. etc. kosá f. `sickle'; with k- for s- through dissimilation?) s. Pok. 586, W.-Hofmann s. castrō, Vasmer Russ. et. Wb. s. kosá.

Fr. 238); ξοάνων προθύρων ἐξεσμένων H.; formation like ὄχανον (: ἔχω), πλόκανον (: πλέκω) a.o. (Chantraine 198; not with Bq, WP. 1, 450 a.o. from ξύω; nor with Latte Glotta 32, 35 f. subst. adj.); dimin. ξοάνιον (Anaphe II<sup>a</sup>). 5. ξοΐς, - ίδος f. `chisel' (hell. inscr.) with ξοΐδιον (pap.

(acc. to WP. 1, 450 a.o. rather to ξύω).

Origin: ??

Etymology: With ξύω (and ξαίνω?) cognate (s. vv.); without close agreement outside Greek. The stem ξεσ-, reconstructed from ξεσ-τός, ξέσ-(σ)αι a.o., which is at the basis of all forms cited above, is after traditional interpretation to be analysed as ξ-εσ-(= ks-es-) and to be interpreted as zero grade with εσ-enlargement (cf. on τρέω) of the IE root * kes- in OCS čes-ati `comb' a.o. (s. κέσ-κεον) `scratch, comb' (e.g. Brugmann Grundr.² II: 3, 343 with Persson Stud. 88); connection with κεάζω a. cogn. (s. v.) can as well be considered. -- Diff. suggestion in Schwyzer 269 and 329: ξέω metathesized from * kes-ō (= OCS čes-)? Mann Lang. 28,40 compares Alb. shesh `raze, level', supposedly from *ksesi̯ō. Zie by keskeon!!! Waarom dan niet kses-keon??
