Grammatical information: v.

Meaning: `to be of use, to help, gratify'

Other forms: aor. ὀνῆσαι, fut. ὀνήσω (Il.), Dor. ὀνασεῖ (Theoc.), midd. ὀνίναμαι (Att.), aor. ὀνήσασ-θαι (late), aor. 2 ὠνήμην, opt. ὀναίμην, ep. ἀπ-ονήμην, - όνητω (Il.), ὠνάμην, inf. ὄνασθαι (E., Pl.), fut. ὀνήσομαι (Il.).

Dialectal forms: Myc. onato = ὀνατόν, onate = ὀνατήρ (Carratelli Par. del Pass. 12, 82).

Compounds: Often w. ἀπο-, `to benifit, to gain, to enjoy, to relish'.

Derivatives: 1. ὄνηαρ (written ὄνειαρ, s. v.); 2. ὄνησις, Dor. etc. ὄνασις f. (φ 402; Holt Les noms d'action en - σις 73 w. n. 2, Benveniste Noms d'agent 77) `benefit, advantage, gain, enjoyment' with ὀνήσιμος `useful, beneficial' (h. Merc.; Zumbach Neuerungen 14, Arbenz 35); 3. Όνήτωρ, - ορος m. PN (Π 604 u.a.), Dor. ὀνάτωρ (conj. Pi. O. 10,9) `helper', ὀνήτωρ name of a plaster (medic.); 4. Όνήτης m. PN (Eretria IV<sup>a</sup>); for the PN in Όνησι- etc. Bechtel Hist. Personennamen 348ff.; 5. ὀνήμων = ὀνήσιμος ( Cat. Cod. Astr.). 6. Primary comparative forms. sup. ὀνήϊσ-τος `most useful' (Ion. a.o.), comp. n. ὀνήϊον (Nic.), Dor. ὀνάϊον (Dodona III^a) as positive reinterpreted; details in Leumann Mus. Helv. 2, 7 ff. (= KL Schr. 221 ff.). Egli Heteroklisie 77, also Seiler Steigerungsform 87f., who hardly believably assumes a noun *ὀνή `usefulness' as basis.

Origin: IE [Indo-European] [754] * h₃neh₂- `help, be useful'

Etymology: To be noted are the old medial aoristforms with long vowel ἀπ-ονήμην, - όνητο, - ονήμενος etc., opposed to which are not only the clearly secondary ὠνάμην, ὄνασθαι but prob. also ὀναίμην and ὀνίναμαι ( ἵσταμαι: ἵστημι a.o.) are unoriginal (diff. Chantraine Gramm. hom. 1, 382); the quite late present ὀνίσκω (Ath. 2, 35c) was shaped to ὀνήσω after εὑρήσω: εὑρίσκω a.o. Further details in Schwyzer 688 f. -- No convincing etymology. By Wackernagel Dehnungsgesetz 50 (= Kl. Schr. 2, 946) a.o. (s. Bq and WP. 2, 315) compared with Skt. nāthá- n. `refuge, help', which looks like a primary noun (Wackernagel-Debrunner II: 2, 718) but is further isolarted (cf. Mayrhofer s. nā́dhamānaḥ). Other attempts in Bq (rejected). Cf. ὄνειαρ.
