Compounds: With prefix ἀπ-, ἐξ-, ἐν-, ὑπερ- a. o.

Derivatives: Verbal nouns: ἔμετος `vomiting' (Ion., Arist.) with the bahuvrihis ἀν-, δυσ-, εὑ-έμετος, - ήμετος (Hp. a. o.; also, directly from ἐμέω, δυσ-, εὑ-εμής, - ημής), κοπριήμετος (Hp.); to ὑπερεμέω: ὑπερέμετος (Hp.). From ἔμετος: ἐμεσία `be inclined to vomit' (Hp.), ἐμετ-ικός, - ώδης, - ήριος, - ιάω (Hp., Arist. u. a.). ἔμεσις and ἔμεσμα `id.' (Hp.). ἐμίας "spitter" (Com.; s. Chantr. Form. 93). - S. also ἐμύς and περιημεκτέω.

Origin: IE [Indo-European] [1146] *u̯emh₁- `vomit'

Etymology: In Skt. athematic vámi-ti; also in Lat. vomit, vomimus (ceside vomi-tus), which were reinterpreted as thematic, cf. reg-i-mus. Disyllabic root also in Lith. vémti (with new jot present vemiù ). The root also in North-Germanic, but only in metaph. meaning, e. g. OSw. vami m. `disgust'. - Schwyzer 222 n. 5 sees in ἐμέω an element of the living language, which would explain that the verb does not sow a Ϝ- in Homer (cf. ἱδρώς, also δίφρος).
