Origin: IE [Indo-European]X [probably] [79] * h₃enh₃- `blame, revile'

Etymology: All forms except ὤνατο (rather aor. then ipf.), ὄναται ἀτιμάζεται H. and the debated οὔνεσθε (Ω 241) are based on ὀνο- (further Schwyzer 681 w. n. 4, ChantraineGramm. hom. 1, 295f. a. 382); ὀνα- is not an old ablautvariant (Schw. 362, Persson Beitr. 2, 669) but a sec. deviation. -- Without certain non-Greek agreement. Quite hypothetic is the comparison with some Celt. words, e.g. MIr. on `shame', anim (a- reduced grade?) `blemish, fault'. The comparison with the not quite reliable GAv. ptc. nadant- `slandering, reviling' (ἅπ. λεγ.) and with Skt. níndati `blame, revile' (as ní-nd- ati; but rather ní-n-d- ati, s. ὄνειδος and Mayrhofer s. níndati and nádati) is based on the wrong assumption, that ὀνόσσ-ασθαι, - ομαι and ὀνοστός go back on ὀνοδ-, instead of being analogical. Uncertain is connection with Hitt. hanna- `contend, contest' Puhvel, Hitt.Et.Dict. 3, 83. -- Details w. older lit. in Bq, WP. 1, 180, Pok. 779, also W.-Hofmann s. nota. Far remains ὄνομα, s. Bq and W.-Hofmann a. O., also WP. 1, 132. To be rejected also Specht Ursprung 126.
