Grammatical information: v.

Meaning: `say'.

Other forms: only 1. sg. pres. (Od.) and 3. sg. εἶρεν as aorist (B. 16, 20; 74), but εἴρετο (Α 513), - οντο (λ 342) rather `asked' (cf. Chantr. Gramn. hom. 1, 341 n. 3), εἴρεται (Arat.) for εἴρηται as sometimes hell. εἴρεκα for εἴρηκα (to ἐρρέθην), fut. ep. Ion. ἐρέω, Att. ἐρῶ, perf. med. εἴρηται (Il.; Arg. ϜεϜρημένος, Cret. Ϝερημένος), with fut. pass. ει᾽ρήσομαι (ep. Ion. Il.), perf. act. εἴρηκα (A., Ar.), aor. pass. ptc. ῥηθείς (Od.), εἰρέθην (Hdt.; rather with Lejeune Traité de phon. 136 after εἴρηται than with Schwyzer 654 from *ἐϜρέθην), Att. ἐρρήθην, hell. innovation ἐρρέθην, fut. ῥηθήσομαι (Att.) - As aorist εἶπον is used, as present φημί, λέγω, hell. also ἐρῶ (Schwyzer 784 n. 4) with ipf. ἤρεον ( εἴ-) `said' (Hp.).

Compounds: Often with prefix: προ-, προσ-, κατ-, also ἀν-, ἀπ-, δι-, ἐπ-, συν-, ὑπ-ερῶ etc.

Derivatives: Action nouns: ῥῆσις (Ion.-Att. φ 291), Arc. Ϝρῆσις `pronunciation, speech' (on the meaning Chantr. Form. 283, further Holt Les noms d'action en - σις 87f. w. n. 1), often to the prefixed verbs: ἀνά-, ἀπό-, διά-, ἐπί-, κατά-, παρά-, πρό-, πρόσ-ρησις (cf. Holt, s. index); ῥῆμα `statement, word, story', as grammatical terminus `verb' (Ion. Archil.), also ἀπό-, ἐπί-, πρό-, πρόσ-ρημα; ῥήτρα, -η (ξ 393, X., Dor.), El. Ϝράτρα *Schwyzer 679), Cypr. with dissim. Ϝρήτα (from where εὑϜρητάσατυ) `agreement, treaty, law, pronunciation' (Chantr. Form. 333), with ῥητρεύω `pronounce' (Lyc.); on τρᾱ-suffix cf. ῥητήρ, ῥήτωρ. - Agent nouns: ῥητήρ `speaker' (Ι 443), ῥήτωρ `speaker', esp. `orator' in state affairs (trag., Att.). - Verbal adj. ῥητός `agreed, settled' (Φ 445 \< *u̯rh₁-tos; cf. Ammann Μνήμης χάριν 1, 20), `pronounceable, what can be said, rational' (A., S.), often opposed to ἄρρητος (e. g. Hes. Op. 4), ἀπό-, ἐπί-, πρό-ρρητος; παρα-ρρητός `convincing' (Il.; to παρά-φημι, - ειπεῖν). - Adv. δια-ρρήδην `expressly' (h. Merc. etc.; Schwyzer-Debrunner 450), ἐπι-ρρήδην `open' (hell.), ῥήδην only A. D., EM (from δια-ρρ.). - Note the juridical and official meaning of many of the nouns (cf. the non-Greek cognates below); see Porzig Satzinhalte 265f., Fournier Les verbes "dire" 5ff., 94ff., 224ff.

Origin: IE [Indo-European] [1162] *u̯erh₁-, u̯r̥h₁- `speak (officially)'

Etymology: With exception of isolated (Ϝ)είρω (on the digamma Chantr. Gramm. hom. 1, 136), which is an innovation to (Ϝ)ερέ-[σ]ω after κτεν-έ[σ]ω: κτείνω (cf. also Hitt. u̯erii̯a- below; aoristic εἶρεν [B.] after κτεῖνεν?), all forms are from disyllabic (Ϝ)ερε- and (Ϝ)ρη-; the first in the future, the latter in the perfect ( Ϝέ-Ϝρη-μαι etc.; Schwyzer 649), the passive aorist and the verbal nouns. - Cf. Hitt. Jotpresent u̯erii̯a- `call, name, order' (= (Ϝ)είρω, s. above), with the particle for the direct speech - wa(r)- prop. `said (he)'; also the Russ. deverbat. vrú, vrátь `lie, talk rot' (\< *vьrǫ, * vьrati) has been connected. Of the nouns compare Av. urvāta- n. `pronouncement, order', (IE *u̯reh₁-to-?). With (unexplained) short vowel Av. urvata- n. = Skt. vratá- n. `id.', IE *u̯re\/ o-to- (?), Russ. etc. rotá `oath', IE. *u̯ro-tā (?); monosyllabic with old dh-enlargement Lat. verbum, Lith. var̃das `name', Goth. waúrd `word'. Very doubtful is (on a wrong place, after ἔραχος, given ἔρθει φθέγγεται H. (not to verbum, which would give *ἐρεθ-) - S. also εἴρων.
