1 κάπτω
Grammatical information: v.Meaning: `gulp down' (Hdt., Herod., Com., Arist.).Derivatives: ( ἀνά-)κάψις `swallowing' (Arist.); κάμματα pl. `what is supped up, sacrificial cake' with καμματίδες pl. `laurel leaves, for supping up' (Nicocl. 2); ἔγκαφος `what you have in your mouth' (Eup. 330). - Further κάπη f. `crib' (Θ 434, δ 40, S. Ichn. 8, Lyk. 95), κάπηθεν (Suid.).Origin: IE [Indo-European] [527] * keh₂p-?Etymology: The present κάπτω can be identical with Lat. capiō `take' and Germ., e. g. Goth. hafjan ` raise'; but it agrees in use and meaning much better to popular NLG (= NHG) happen `swallow', Dutch happen `snap' (with expressive gemination). They belong to a wide spread root `seize etc.' IE. * kap- (with several variants), orig. onomatop. (cf. Oehl Fangen - Finger - Fünf [Collectanea Friburgensia N. F. 22] 83ff.); Greek κάπτω has a clear popular-expressive character. κάπη `crib' is rather an old free formation than a direct derivation from κάπτω (cf. κώπη, and καπάνα?). - See Pok. 527f., W.-Hofmann and Ernout-Meillet s. capiō, Bq s. κάπτω.Page in Frisk: 1,783-784Greek-English etymological dictionary (Ελληνικά-Αγγλικά ετυμολογική λεξικό) > κάπτω
