Derivatives: ἐρείπια pl. `ruins' (Hdt., Arist.; on the formation Schwyzer 470, Chantraine Formation 55), adjectivised ἐρείπιος ( οἰκία Ph.; ἐρείπιος γῆ ἡ χέρσος Suid.); ἔρειψις mean. unclear (Att. inscr.) with ἐρείψιμος `ruined' (E.

Origin: IE [Indo-European]X [probably] [858] * h₁reip- `throw down'?

Etymology: Beside full grade ἐρείπω we have ONo. rīfa `tear down' (trans.), also of buildings like ἐρείπω; with verbal noun Lat. rīpa `steep border, shore' (cf. ἐρίπναι and ἐρείπιος γῆ = χέρσος, i. e. `shore'); with lengthened labial ONo. rīp `upper side of a boat', EastFris. rip(e) `shore', NHG rīf `id.'; W.-Hofmann s. rīpa. - Through mechanical splitting of ἐρείπω and ἐρείκω in IE (h₁)rei-p-, (h₁)rei-k- one canreduce both verbs like many other words to an IE (h₁)rei- `scratch, tear' (Pok. 857ff.).
