Etymology: On the formation s. Schwyzer 622; ἠρέμᾰς as ἀτρέμᾰς (ib. 620), on ἠρεμί̄ (- εί) ib. 623. - From ἠρέμα a widespread group for `rest, quiet' cannot be separated, e. g. Skt. rámate `rest etc.', Lith. rìmti `be quiet' (with laryngeal), Goth. rimis n. `rest', OIr. fo-rimim `set, lay'. - One supposed a prefix ἠ- (s. ἠβαιός); a lengthened prothesis is also not attrective (s. Čop KZ 74, 228; cf. on ἠΐθεος, but this is an archaic epic word).
