ἔλλοψ, - οποςGrammatical information: m.Meaning: 1. poet. adj. of ἰχθῦς (Hes. Sc. 212), in this function also ἔλλοπος (Emp. 117) and ἐλλός (S. Aj. 1297, Ath. 277d); of κούρα (Theoc. Syrinx 18); 2. poet. for `fish' in general (Lyk.); 3. name of a great, rare and expensive fish, which is compared, and identified with, a sturgeon (Arist.); in this meaning usually written ἔλοψ (Epich., Archestr., Plu.), Lat. (h)elops; 4. name of a snake (Nic. Th. 490).Derivatives: Denom. verb ἐλλοπιεύω `fish' (Theoc. 1, 42); note ἐλλόπιδας acc. pl. (Crat. 408 acc. to H.; - οδες EM 331, 53), acc. to H. a. o. = τοὺς στρουθοὺς η νεοττοὺς ὄφεως; unclear ἀλλοπίης adj. of τράχουρος (Numen. ap. Ath. 7, 326a).Origin: PG [a word of Pre-Greek origin]Etymology: The ancients explained the word either as `dumb' or as `scaly', the first with an impossible etymology. The meaning `scaly' is interpreted as ἔλλοπος \< *ἔν-λοπος, prepositional bahuvrihi of λοπός `scale'; the shortened form ἔλλοψ would be after animal's names in - οψ (metri causa?); a second analogical shortening (cf. αἶθοψ: αἰθός) gave ἐλλός. Remains the single λ in ἔλοψ, Lat. (h)elops; as this notation seems to indicate a special fish, ἔλοψ could be of foreign origin. This would mean a cross of a foreign fish name with an inherited adjective - Cf. Thompson s. v. and Strömberg Fischnamen 30f. - The interchange λ\/λλ is frequent in Pre-Greek (Fur. 387); further we find ο\/α and π\/β: ἀλ(λ)άβης (Str. 17,2,4, Ath. 7, 312b; PTeb.), ἔλαψ (Gp.); interchange - αβ-\/- οπ- is well known. Fur. 107; here also ἀλλοπίης. So we prob. have a pre-Greek word fo a great fish.
