Grammatical information: v.

Meaning: `to open'.

Other forms: and οἴγω, Aeol. inf. ὀείγην (SGDI 214, 43), later also ἀν-οιγνύω (Demetr. Eloc.), ipf. ὠΐγνυντο (Β 809, Θ 58), ἀνα-οίγεσκον (Ω 455), -ῳ̃γον, - έῳγον, aor. οἶξαι ( ᾦξε, ὤϊξε Hom., ἀν-έῳξε Hom., Att.), pass. οἰχθῆναι (Pi., Att.), fut. οἴξω, perf. ἀν-έῳγα (intr. Hp. and late), with - έῳχα, *έῳγμαι (Att.), ὤϊκται (Herod.), ἀν-ῳ̃κται (Theoc.),

Compounds: Mostly w. prefix esp. ἀν-, from which a.o. ὑπ-, παρ-ανοίγνυμι, ὑπ-, συν-ανοίγω with ἤνοιγον, ἤνοιξα, ἠνοίχθην, ἠνοίγην, ἠνέῳξα etc. (X., LXX).

Derivatives: Few derivv. ἄνοιξις f. `opening' (Th., Thphr.), ἄνοιγ-μα n. `opening' (LXX), - εύς m. `opener' (Dam. Pr.), ἐπανοίκ-τωρ (Man.), - της (Arg. Man.) m. `springer'. As 2. member in πιθ-οίγ-ια n. pl. `opening of a barrel', opening feast of the Anthesterien in Athens (Plu.). The judgment of these forms is partly uncertain and disputable. Starting from the inscriptional attested ὀείγην, i.e. ὀ-(Ϝ)είγην, with zero grade ὠ-(Ϝ)ίγ-νυντο (cf. ἴγνυντο ἠνοίγοντο H.; very uncertain), Fick and Bechtel (s. Lex. s. v.) want to replace the suspected ep. ἀναοίγεσκον as well as ep. ἀνέῳγε, ἀνέῳξε by *ἀν-ο-(Ϝ)είγεσκον, *ἀν-ό-(Ϝ)ειγε, *ἀν-ό-(Ϝ)ειξε, where ὀ- would be either prothetic or prefixal (cf. ὀ-κέλλω and 2. ὀ-).

Origin: IE [Indo-European] [1130] *h₃u̯eig- `make give way'

Etymology: The judgment of these forms is partly uncertain and disputable. Starting from the inscriptional attested ὀείγην, i.e. ὀ-(Ϝ)είγην, with zero grade ὠ-(Ϝ)ίγ-νυντο (cf. ἴγνυντο ἠνοίγοντο H.; very uncertain), Fick and Bechtel (s. Lex. s. v.) want to replace the suspected ep. ἀναοίγεσκον as well as ep. ἀνέῳγε, ἀνέῳξε by *ἀν-ο-(Ϝ)είγεσκον, *ἀν-ό-(Ϝ)ειγε, *ἀν-ό-(Ϝ)ειξε, where ὀ- would be either prothetic or prefixal (cf. ὀ-κέλλω and 2. ὀ-). Not certainly explained. With Ϝιγ-, Ϝειγ- agree formally Skt. (midd.) vij-áte, vej-ate `give ground, flee', to which a.o. Skt. véga- = Av. vaēγa- m. (IE *u̯óigo-s) `violent movement, pressure, clash, blow' (further s. εἴκω); so ὀ-(Ϝ)εί-γω, ὀ-(Ϝε)ίγ-νυμι prop. `make give way, push, open (a door)'? (Bechtel Lex. s.v. after Wackernagel). -- Diff., hardly to be preferred, Brugmann IF 29, 238 ff.: from *Ϝο-(ε)ιγ- to ἐπ-είγω with the same prefix as in Ϝο-φληκόσι, s. ὀφείλω. -- On the individual forms cf. Schwyzer 653 n. 10 w. lit. (also 412, 434 w. n. 3, 772), Chantraine Gramm. hom. 1. 152, 303 a. 480. S. also ἐπῳχατο. The analysis leads to *h₃u̯(e)ig-.

Grammatical information: v.

Meaning: `give way, yield'.

Other forms: Aor. εἶξαι ( ἔ(Ϝ)ειξε Alkm., γῖξαι [i. e. Ϝεῖξαι] χωρῆσαι H.), fut. εἴξω, - ομαι (Il.; cf. Trümpy Fachausdrücke 229f.), perf. ptc. ἐεικώς ( Chron. Lind.)

Compounds: With prefix: ὑπ(ο)-, παρ-, συν-είκω a. o. Lengthened form. ( ὑπ-, παρ)εἰκάθειν or - θεῖν (S., Pl.; Schwyzer 703 n. 6).

Derivatives: ὕπειξις `yielding' (Pl.; vgl. Holt Les noms d'action en σις 164; εἶξις Plu.) with ὑπεικτικός (Arist.; εἰκτικός Phld.).

Origin: IE [Indo-European] [1130] *ueik\/g- `give way, yield'

Etymology: Among the many verbs based on IE. u̯eik- (WP. 1, 232ff.; s. also W.-Hofmann s. vicis und vincō) there is no semantically convincing connection. Semantically agrees to (Ϝ)είκω Skt. vijáte (younger vejate) `fly, give way' and Germ. pres, e. g. OS. wīcan, OHG wīhhan ` weichen etc.', both from IE *u̯eig-, not u̯eik- as in (Ϝ)είκω. The variation may be due to assimilation to consonantic endings; cf. the Skt. aorist forms vik-thās, vik-ta. S. also ἐπίεικτος.
