Adject.: λαγῳ̃ος `belonging to a hare', τὰ λαγῳ̃α `hare-flesh, titbit' (Hp., com.), λαγώειος `id.' (Opp.), λαγώνεια λαγοῦ κρέα H.

Origin: GR [a formation built with Greek elements]

Etymology: From *λαγ(ο)-ω[υσ]-ός `with slack ears', adject. bahuvrihi of *λαγος (*λάξ; s. on λαγαίω) and οὖς (Schwyzer KZ 37, 146f.); cf. Osset. tärqūs `hare', prop. "Long-ear", NPers. xargōš `id.', prop. "ass-ear" (Schulze KZ 48, 101 = Kl. Schr. 372), Berber. bu tmezgīn "the animal with the long ears" (Benveniste Sprache 1, 119); taboo-word of the language of hunters (e.g. Schwyzer 38, Havers Sprachtabu 51 f.). Through contraction and analogy arose λαγώς, λαγός (Schwyzer 557 w. n. 1). On the stem-formation also Sommer Nominalkomp. 18 f.; the there proposed substantival interpretation ("Schlappohr") like NHG Langohr `ass, hare' is neither morphologically nor phonetically defendable.

Origin: XX [etym. unknown]

Etymology: Except for the stemformation σπάθη has been connected with the Germ. word for `spade', OS spado m., OE spade, spadu f., NHG. Spaten m., PGm. * spað-an, - ōn-, but the Greek word cannot be connected as the Germ. word had an ē (which implies a h₁, which would have given Gr. ε; see Pok. 980). Untenable on σπάθη Specht Ursprung 256 (θ from IE th). Hitt. išpatar `spear?, sprong ?' should better remain far; s. Kronasser 1, 283 w. lit. Further connection with a verb `draw in length' (s. σπάω; Persson Beitr. 1, 405ff.) seems possible (reserved WP. 2, 652f.). Lat. LW [loanword] spada, spatha, spatula s. W.-Hofmann s. vv. w. more details.
