1 ῥίνη
Grammatical information: f.Meaning: `file, rasp' (X., Arist., Delos IIIa; after Hdn. Gr. in this meaning ῥινή), `shark' (with whose raw hide one polished wood and marble; Hp., Epich., com., Arist.).Other forms: hell. ῥῖνα Moer.Compounds: As 1. member in ῥινό-βατος, - βάτης m. des. of a kind of ray, which stands between ῥίνη and βάτος (Arist.; Strömberg Fischn. 123 w. lit., Thompson Fishes s.v.).Derivatives: 1. dimin. ῥιν-ίον (Gal.), - άριον (Aët.) `little file'; 2. denominat.: a) ῥινάω, also w. κατα-, δια- a.o., `to file' (Ar., Arist., Ph. Bel.) with ( ἀπο-)ῥίνημα n. `filing, swarf' (Hp., Herod.), ( δια-)ῥίνησις f. `filing' (Gal.); b) ῥινίζω `id.' (pap. IIIp) with ῥίνισμα n. `swarf' (Ctes., medic.). -- The widespread meaning `shark' arose from `file' because of its raw hide. Against the deviating interpretation of Strömberg Fischn. 86 (cf. also Prellwitz s.v.), ῥίνη would be prop. "skinfish" (from ῥινός `skin'), from where secondarily `file', speaks a.o. that ῥινός means esp. the fine (smooth) cowhide.Origin: XX [etym. unknown]Etymology: Primary formation with ν-suffix from a further unknown verb, which lives on in a deriv. in Germ., in OS wrītan `tear apart, scratch, write', OE wrītan `dig in, scratch, write'; s. WP. 1, 287 (with Brugmann and Persson). -- On the function of a nom. instr. cf. e.g. the ν-formations τόρ-νος `turner's wheel', ζώ-νη `girdle'. Cf. ῥινός. -- The Greek form must have *u̯ri-H-, but there is no evicence for a laryngeal in *u̯rei-, zo the etymology must be rejected.Page in Frisk: 2,657Greek-English etymological dictionary (Ελληνικά-Αγγλικά ετυμολογική λεξικό) > ῥίνη
