Grammatical information: adj.Meaning: `with the upper part of the body bent backwards, with inward bent back', also sens. obsc., opposite κυφός (Hp., Arist.).Derivatives: Λόρδων, - ωνος m. name of a demon (Pl. Com. 174, 17, beside Κύβδασος from κύβδα); λορδόομαι, - όω `bend inward' (Hp., com.) with λόρδ-ωσις, - ωμα `curvature of the spine inward' (Hp., Gal.), oppos. κύφ-ωσις, - ωμα; also λορδαίνω = - όω (Hp.).Etymology: Isolated in Greek. One supposes cognates in Armenian, but also in Celtic and Germanic. Semantically agrees Arm. lorc̣-k` pl. (i-st.) = ὀπισθότονοι (Pl. Ti. 84e), i.e. `spasmodic curvature of the upper body inward' (cf. λόρδωσις, - ωμα above); but lorc̣-k` must be derived from IE * lor(d)- sk-(i)-. An agreeing formation may be found in Celt. (Gael.) loirc f. `deformed foot', which admits also an IE basis * lor(d)- sk-ā. Further we have, without sk- suffix and in ablaut deviant, MHG lerz, lurz `left\/link' (prop. `crooked', cf. lürzen `deceive' = MEngl. bi-lurten `id.'), IE * lerd-, *lr̥d-. - Bq s. v., WP. 2, 439, Pok. 679 (nach Fick 1, 538 u. 3, 364, Lidén Armen.
