Grammatical information: adj.

Meaning: `violently storming on, furious' (Il.; always plur. at verse beginnng)

Other forms: (also written - χρει-) - ές (Nic. Th. 290; verse beginning), -ᾱής (Epic. in Arch. Pap. 7, 6 Fr. 3 V. 1).

Origin: IE [Indo-European]X [probably] [460] *ghreh₂u̯- `oppress?'

Etymology: Strengthening ζα- (= δια-) with a second member belonging to the aor. ἔχρᾰ(Ϝ)ον `surprise, oppress'. If one replaces - ηεῖς, - ηῶν by ζαχρᾰέες, - αέων (cf. noch ζαχράσεις ἐξαπιναίους H. for - αέας?), one gets immediate connection with the zero grade aorist. Otherwise one assumes a related full grade noun *χρῆϜος (*χρᾶϜος) or a full grade verb-form. - Bechtel Lex. s. v., Brugmann IF 11, 287ff., Chantraine Gramm. hom. 1, 41. Cf. Bq and WP. 1, 647.
