ἐλελίζω (2)

Grammatical information: v.

Meaning: 1. `shake', med.-pass. `tremble, be shaken', 2. `turn round, t. oneself' (Il.).

Other forms: aor. ἐλελίξαι, pass. ἐλελιχθῆναι, 3. sg. pret. ἐλέλικτο, perf. med. ἐλέλιγμαι (hell.)

Compounds: As 1. member (cf. Schwyzer 444: 3) in ἐλελί-χθων `shaking the earth' (Pi. P. 2, 4), `earth-shaker', surname of Poseidon (Pi. P. 6, 50), of Dionysos (S. Ant. 153); also in ἐλελί-σφακος, - ον s. v.

Origin: IE [Indo-European]X [probably] [667] * leig- `jump, whirl, make whirl?'

Etymology: In the aorist forms ἐλέλιξα, ἐλελίχθην two verbs seem to have merged: 1. a reduplic. present ἐλελίζω `shake'; 2. an augmented *ἐ-Ϝέλιξα with the present (Ϝ)ελίσσω `turn' (s. v. ἔλιξ). The preterite ἐλέλικτο refers to a snake in Λ 39 and belongs therefore as *ϜεϜέλικτο `twisted itself' to 2; the expression ἔγχος... σειόμενον ἐλέλικτο Ν 558 can as well represent the turning or whirling as the shaking movement. It is no longer possible to distinguish the two. Cf. Chantr. Gramm. hom. 1, 132, also Bechtel Lex. s. ἐλελίζω. - In the meaning `shake' ἐλελίξαι, ἐλελίζω is connected with Skt. réjate `tremble', réjati `put in (whirling) movement', Goth. laikan `jump', Lith. láigyti `wild umherlaufen' etc.; it supposes that - ίξαι, - ίζω is part of the root; see Risch 257ff. One starts from a root aorist ἐ-λέ-λιξ-α, to which the passive aorist ἐ-λελίχ-θην and the present ἐ-λελίζω were formed either with prothesis (impossible) or with draging of the augment (cf. Schwyzer 648); both rather improbable. The reduplication may be a young Greek element.
