ἐ-Ϝέλ-ιω

Grammatical information: v.

Meaning: `press together, draw together, fence in' (Hom.)

Other forms: Ep. Delph. also εἴλομαι in εἰλόμενος, εἰλέσθω(ν), Dor. El. Ϝηλέω, Att. sometimes ἴλλω, εἴλλω (cf. below), aor. ἔλσαι, ἐέλσαι (Ep.), med.-pass. ἀλήμεναι, ἀλῆναι, ἀλείς, perf. med. ἔελμαι, - μένος (Ep.), perfect preterite ἐόλει? (Pi., s. below); from there the new εἰλῆσαι, εἰλήσω, εἴλημαι, εἰλήθην (Ion. Hell.)

Compounds: With prefix ἀπ(ο-), e. g. ἀπο-Ϝηλέω (El.), ἐξ-, e. g. ἐγ-Ϝηληθίωντι (Her.) = ἐξ-ειληθῶσι, κατ(α)-, e. g. κατα-Ϝελμένος (Cret.), προσ- ( προτι-), συν-ειλέω, -( ε)ίλλω etc. with diff. shades of meaning.

Derivatives: Of the derivatives most have become formally and semantically independent: ἁλής, ἀολλής, ἐξουλή, ἴλη ( εἴλη), οὑλαμός (s. vv.). Further: βήλημα κώλυμα, φράγμα ἐν ποταμῳ̃ H.; i. e. Ϝήλημα, Mess. ἤλημα, κατ-, συν-είλησις `pressing together, what is pressed' or `what is drawn together' (Epicur. or Ael.), εἰληθμός ( εἰδ- cod.) συστροφή, φυγή H., προσείλημα ( κεφαλῆς) `turban' (Kreon Hist.; to 2?). From (Ϝ)ίλλω prob. Ϝιλσιιος gen. `adversity' (Pamphyl. IV^a); unclear ἰλλάς `pressed together (?)' (S. Fr. 70, E. Fr. 837), cf. on 2. εἰλέω; lengthened ἰλλίζει, s. ib. S. also on εἶλαρ.

Origin: IE [Indo-European] [1138] *u̯el- `press together'

Etymology: As the basis of εἰλέω, Ϝηλέω, to which belongs also ἀπελλεῖν (?, cod. - ειν) ἀποκλείειν H. (Aeol.), one may posit a nasal present *Ϝελ-νέω, which may be a variant of εἴλω \< *Ϝέλ-νω (Schwyzer 720; cf. also 693 w. n. 11, Chantr. Gramm. hom. 1, 130). Beside it there is a reduplicated ἴλλω \< *Ϝί-Ϝλ-ω (mostly to 2., like ἰλλόμενος A. R. 2, 27, s. on 2.). (For εἴλλω vowelprothesis was assumed \< *ἐ-Ϝέλ-νω ( ἐ-Ϝέλ-ιω?; so Solmsen, s. below) which is now no longer possible, if not simply through (graphical) influence of εἰλέω. - The non-present forms were oirginally, as is to be expected, primary: aor. (Ϝ)έλ-σαι, perf. *(Ϝ)έ-(Ϝ)ολα in ἐόλει `(op)pressed' (Pi. P. 4, 233; coni. Boeckh)?, med. with secondary full grade (Ϝ)έ-(Ϝ)ελ-μαι, intr. aor. with zero grade (Ϝ)αλῆ-ναι; these forms were replaced by the innovations εἰλῆσαι etc. From the many IE words with an element u̯el-, only some Balto-Slavic formations can be considered as cognates of 1. εἰλέω. Thus Russ. válom `in mass', the instrumental of a noun * valъ (IE *u̯ōlos) with many derivatives, e. g. zavál `stoppage, blocking' (cf. Ϝήλημα); on the maning cf. esp. (Ϝ)άλις. An other instrumental in OCS Russ. velьmí `μεγάλως, very', from * velь (IE *u̯eli-). From Baltic: Lith. su-valýti `collect (grain), reap (together)'; further perh. Lith. veliù, vélti (with Russ. valjátь) `to full'; but see also on 2. εἰλέω. It is not always possible to distinguish εἰλέω `press (together)' and εἰλέω `wind'. - On the group see Solmsen Unt. 224ff., 285ff.; s. also Burdach NJbb. 49, 254ff.

Derivatives: ἁλίη, Dor. ἀλία `assembly of people'. From it Dor. ἀλιαία `id.', Att. ἡλιαία. The ἡ- in Att. ἡλιαία must be false Ionicism of a Dorian loanword (influence of ἥλιος?); s. Ed. Meyer Philol. 48, 187.

Meaning: prob. `protection', εἶλαρ νεῶν τε καὶ αὑτῶν (Η 338 = 437; Ξ 56 = 68, of πύργοι, and τεῖχος), κύματος εἶλαρ (ε 257, ῥῖπες οἰσύϊναι); H. also ἔλαρ βοήθεια.

Other forms: only nom. and acc.

Origin: IE [Indo-European]X [probably] [1161] *u̯eru- `defend'

Etymology: One thought of *Ϝέλ-Ϝαρ (with dissimilation *ἔλ-Ϝαρ?) as action noun. Perhaps from 1. εἰλέω, (Ϝ)έλσαι `press together', but this does not fit very well. Note βήλημα κώλυμα, φράγμα ἐν ποταμῳ̃ H. Nor to 2. εἰλέω `roll, wind'. - Schulze Q. 121, Bechtel Lex. s. v., Chantr. Gramm. hom. 1, 131, Porzig Satzinhalte 348. Blanc, RPh 70 (1996) 115f. proposes to derive the word from ϜελϜ-αρ, to ἔρυ-μα etc.; but the dissim. to λseems difficult Cf, Blanc BAGB 1 (1996) 4-5.

Grammatical information: m.

Meaning: 1. as medic. expression `intestinal obstruction, Bauchgrimmen' (Hp.; Lat. īleus); rarely 2. name of a vine (Hippys Rheg. [V<sup>a</sup>?]); 3. `den, hole of animals, esp. of snakes' (Theoc. 15, 9, Ark., Poll.).

Other forms: ἰλεός

Derivatives: from 1.: εἰλεώδης `relating to intestinal obstruction' (Hp.).

Origin: IE [Indo-European]X [probably] [1141] *u̯elu̯- `turn, wind, cover, protect'

Etymology: Formation like φωλεός, κολεός etc. (Chantr. Form. 51). Original meaning `winding' (cf. H.: εἰλεός ἡ τοῦ θηρίου κατάδυσις καὶ στρόφος), from εἰλέω `roll, wind' with diphthong (not *ἐ-Ϝελ-ε(Ϝ)ος), explains the meanings 1. and 2. Also the `den' can be combined with `winding'; but εἰλυός (A. R.) like synonymous εἰλυθμός is based on εἰλύω `wind around, cover'. - Cf. Solmsen Unt. 242ff.; - εός not phonet. from - υός. - Is - εος Pre-Greek? (cf. φωλεός).

Grammatical information: v.

Meaning: `roll, turn, wind, revolve' (most hell.).

Other forms: ἴλλω, εἴλλω (Att.; s. below). The non-present forms, which are most compounds, are based on the presents: εἰλῆσαι, εἰλήσω, εἴληκα etc.; from ἴλλω only ἰλλάμην (IG 5 (2): 472, 11; Megalopolis II-III^p).

Compounds: Often with prefix, esp. ἐν-, περι-ειλέω (X., hell.), -( ε)ίλλω (Th. 2, 76; codd. Ar. Ra. 1066), also ἀπ-, δι-, ἐξ-, ἐπ-, κατ-, παρ-ειλέω (hell.), ἐξ-, κατ-ίλλω (X., Hp.).

Derivatives: From εἰλέω: εἰλεός (s. v.; sec. adapted?); ( ἐν-, ἐξ-, ἐπ-, κατ-, περι-)εἴλησις `winding etc.' (Pl.), ( ἐν-, περι-) εἴλημα `id.' (J., Poll.); εἰλετίας kind of reed (Thphr.), εἰλητάριον `winding, roll' (Aët.), εἰληδόν adv. `in windings' (AP). From ἴλλω: ἰλλός `looking aslant' (s. v.) with many derivations; ἰλλάς f. `snare, knot' (Ν 572; Chantr. Form. 351) with ἰλλίζει δεσμεύει, συστρέφει, ἀγελάζει H. (also to 1. ἴλλω); unclear ἰλλάδας γονάς ++ ἀγελειὰς καὶ συστροφάς H. (S. Fr. 70 and E. Fr. 837); prob. to 1. - Here also several nouns that have formally been separated from the verb: s. ἕλιξ, εἶλιγξ, ἕλμις, ἑλένη, εὑλή, εὔληρα, λῶμα, ὅλμος, οὖλος a. o.; further ἀλινδέω, also αἰόλος; lastly the u-enlarged εἰλύω with many derivatives (s. v.).

Origin: IE [Indo-European] [1140] *u̯el- `turn, wind, revolve'

Etymology: Like 1. εἰλέω, ( ἐ)ίλλω `press' also εἰλέω, ἴλλω `turn' continue a n-present *Ϝελ-νέω, resp. a reduplicated *Ϝί-Ϝλ-ω. The formal falling together led often also to semantic coincidence; so for A. R. ἰλλόμενος in 2, 27 λέων... ἰλλόμενός περ ὁμίλῳ, also when originally not `surrounded', but `pressed', identical with the formally identical ptc. in 1, 129 δεσμοῖς ἰλλόμενος. - Also in the other languages there are many words that go back on the flexible notion `turn, wind, revolve' etc.; cf. e.g. OIr. fillim `turn, bend', if with Pedersen Vergl. Gramm. d. kelt. Spr. 2, 522 an n-present (but hardly Lith. veliù, vélti `confuse hair(s)' (= εἴλλω?; s. on 1.). A special group are the u-enlargements, s. on εἰλύω. Further cf. Arm. glem `roll, throw down', which may continue *u̯ēl- or *u̯ōl-ei̯ō (Meillet MSL 8, 163; 9, 144; uncertain Skt. valati, -te (class.) `turn', s. Tedesco JournAmOrSoc. 67, 100ff. - See Solmsen Unt. 229ff.

R. 3, 206); εἰλύομαι `wind itself and curl, sneak forward' (S. Ph. 291 and 702, `swarm' (Com.), aor. pass. ἐλύσθη `rolled', ἐλυσθείς, Theoc. 25, 246 therefor εἰλυθείς; A. R. 3, 296 εἰλυμένος).

Compounds: Some prefixed compounds: κατ-ειλύω (Hdt.), δι-ειλυσθεῖσα `sneaking through' (A. R. 4, 35), ἐξ-ειλυσθέντες (Theoc. 24, 17), συν-ειλύω (EM 333, 42).

Derivatives: From ἐλῠ-: ἔλῠ-τρον `envelop, shell, container' (Ion.-Att.) with ἐλυτρόομαι (Hp.); ἔλῡμα `plough-beam' (Hes., length sec., s. below), in H. also = νύσσα (`turning point in a career') καὶ τὸ ἱμάτιον, cf. εἴλυμα; ἔλῠμος a Phrygian pipe (S., Com.), in H. also `envelop'; ἔλυστα ἄμπελος μέλαινα H. (- σ- as in ἐλύσθη, s. below); deverbative ἐλύσσει εἰλεῖται H. - From εἰλῡ-: εἴλῡμα `envelop' (ζ 179 etc., cf. ἔλυμα); εἰλυθμός `hiding-place, hole' (Nic.), ap. H. = ἕλκος, τρόμος (to εἰλύομαι); εἰλυός = εἰλεός s. v.; εἴλυσις `sneaking forward' (sch. on εἰλύομαι); εἰλύτας, ἐλλύτας name of a cake' (inscr., H., ἐλύτης gramm.; s. Fraenkel Nom. ag. 1, 171f.); deverbat. εἰλύσσεται εἰλεῖται H. (cf. ἐλύσσει) with εἰλυστήριον (gloss.). - From ἀλῠ- (zero grade): ἅλυσις, ἀλύτας, s. vv. - S. also πέλλυτρον and γολύριον.

Origin: IE [Indo-European] [1140] *u̯el-u- `envelop, cover'

Etymology: The gloss γέλουτρον ἔλυτρον, ἤγουν λέπυρον H. gives PGr. Ϝέλυ-τρον, identical with Skt. varu-tra- n. `Obergewand' (gramm.). εἰλύω can be from PGr. *Ϝελ-ν-ύ-ω and agree with Skt. vr̥ṇóti `envelop, cover' (IE *u̯l̥-ne-u-ti); but the Greek word is late and rare which makes the identification less probable, s. below. Disyllabic Ϝελυ- in (Ϝ)ελύ-σ-θη etc. (with analogical - σ-; Schwyzer 761) also in Arm. gelu-m `turn' (formation not certain) and in Lat. volvō; an iterative formation of it is Goth. walwjan, OE wealwian `revolve (onself)'. Note (Ϝ)έλῡ-μα with the same sec. long vowel as Lat. volūmen; further Arm. gelumn `turning'. - In the Greek system the perfect εἴλῡμαι \< *Ϝέ-Ϝλῡ-μαι (with long vowel; Ϝ- uncertain s. Chantr. Gramm. hom. 1, 131 and Schwyzer 649e) was important; both in (late) εἰλῦσαι and εἰλυσθείς and in the many nouns in εἰλῡ- it was decisive. - Ample discussion (partly diff.) in Solmsen Unt. 232ff.

Origin: XX [etym. unknown]

Etymology: Boeot. Ϝελικών forbids the comparison with Lat. salix. One compares an old Westgermanic word for `willow', OE welig, OS wilgia, MHG wilge. But this again is impossible because of Mycenaean. DELG notes * swel-\/* sel- which solves nothing.

Form. 382f.), so prob. from a noun, which was perh. derived from εἰλέω (*Ϝελ-νέ-ω) `turn, wind' (s. v.). - The ep. epithet ἕλιξ is prob. with Bechtel Lex. s. v. and Risch 149 a shortened compound (*ἑλικό-πους, - κραιρα?). Note that the suffix - ικ- mostly makes Pre-Greek words (like - υκ-, cf. on κῆρυξ).

Grammatical information: f.

Meaning: `worm. maggot' (Il.).

Other forms: mostly pl. - αί. Cf. εὐλάζει σαπριᾳ̃, σκωληκιᾳ̃ H. One also mentions ὑάλη σκώληξ Η. supposed to stand for ὑαλή; it is quite doubtful that this form is cognate.

Origin: XX [etym. unknown]

Etymology: For *ἐ-Ϝλ-ή (Schwyzer 224), but what would be this ἐ-? (a prothetic vowel is no longer possible, unless one assumes *h₁u̯el-; but * h₁ul- would give ὑλ-). If not with metathesis from *Ϝελ-ή (cf. to εὐρύς), which is improbable. Old verbal noun to 2. εἰλέω, ἴλλω `turn, wind', so pop. `winding, what winds itself'. - Cf. ἕλμις. - The word may well be Pre-Greek.

Grammatical information: f.

Meaning: `millet, Kolbenhirse (=?)' (IA.).

Origin: PG [a word of Pre-Greek origin]X [probably]

Etymology: As old culture-word cognate with the formally deviating Lat. milium n. `millet, Rispenhirse= ?'. Uncerrain however Lith. málnos f. pl. `smoke, Kolbenhirse (= ?)'; after Nieminen KZ 74, 167 f. rather to bibl.-Gr.-Lat. manna `bread from heaven'. Often as "meal-fruit" drawn to Lat. molō `meal' etc.; acc. to Niedermann Symb. Rozwadowski 1, 113 however to μέλας (cf. Fr. millet noir, G. Mohrenhirse); thus Porzig Gliederung 178 (opposed to ἄλφι to ἀλφός `white'). Is the word Pre-Greek? Fur. 246 compares ἔλυμος `millet' and ἐλίμαρ κέγχρῳ ὅμοιον η μελίνῃ Ώὑπο Λακώνων H. which may have been Ϝελ-. -- On meaning and spread in gen. Schrader-Nehring Reallex. 1, 504 f.
