Grammatical information: adj.Compounds: Often as 1. member, e.g. ὀλιγ-αρχ-ία f. `rule of the few, oligarchy' (IA; after μοναρχία, s. μόνος) with ὀλιγαρχ-έω, - ικός (Att.), - ης m. (D. H.) On ὀλιγ-ηπελέων s. v., on ὀλιγο-δρανέων s. δράω, on ὀλίγ-ωρος s. ὤρα.Derivatives: Comp. forms: ὀλίγ-ιστος (Il.), ὀλίζων (Il.), ὀλείζων (Att. inscr.; after μείζων); Seiler Steigerungsformen 101 ff. ὀλιγότης,. - ητος f. `small number' (Pl., Arist.), ὀλιγόομαι, - όω `to become small, fainthearted, to diminish' (LXX); ὀλιγ-άκις `seldom (Ion.)', - αχόθεν `from few places' (Hdt., Arist.), - αχοῦ `in few places' (Pl., Arist.). Also ὀλίγιοι εἶδος ἀκρίδων. τινές ῥιζίον, ὅμοιον βολβῳ̃ H. (s. Gil Fernandez Nombres de insectos 95) ? But the correct form seems to be ὄλιγγοι (Latte) s.v.; connection with λιγύς does not help; the word is Pre-Greek?Etymology: The adj. can be identcal with Arm. aɫk`at `poor' (\< * oliko- \< * h₃ligo-). Alb. lig `angry, meagre', but this may rather belong to λοιγός `ruin' (s. v.). Less clear are OIr. līach `miserable, unhappy' and OPr. licuts `small' (which fits well semantically), which have *k. There is no reason to connect λοιγός `ruin'.Page in Frisk: 2,377Greek-English etymological dictionary (Ελληνικά-Αγγλικά ετυμολογική λεξικό) > ὀλίγος
