Grammatical information: f.

Meaning: `wetness, moisture, secretion' (Ρ 392, Hdt.).

Compounds: As 2. member (transformed to an ο-stems) ἄν-, ἔν-, δύσ-ικμος (Hp., Arist.), as 1. member in ἰκμό-βωλον n. `moist clump of earth' (Dsc.; on the ntr. cf. zu διόσπυρον).

Derivatives: ἰκμαδώδης (H. s. ἴκμενος), ἰκματώδης (Ach. Tat.; after αἱματώδης) `moist'; also ἰκμαῖος (A. R.), ἴκμιος (Call.), ἰκμώδης (sch.), ἰκμαλέος (Hp., Opp.; Debrunner IF 23, 8); ἰκμαίνω `moisten' (A. R.). ἴκμαρ νοτίς H. Here also the backformation ἴκμη `duckweed, Lemna minor' (Thphr.; diff. on the formation Strömberg Pflanzennamen 113); also Ίκμάλιος τ 57?; speculations by Lacroix Coll. Latomus 28, 309ff.

Origin: IE [Indo-European] [893] * seik- `pour out' (not from * seikʷ-)

Etymology: Formation in - άδ- like νιφάς a. o. (Schwyzer 507f., Chantr. Form. 349ff.), from an μ-stem; that this would have left traces in most derivv. ( ἰκμαῖος etc.), is improbable. A primary aorist perh. retained in ἷξαι διηθῆσαι H.; outside Greek there are several relatives, e. g. Skt. siñcáti `pour out' (nasal-present), Germ., e. g. OHG sīhan ` seihen', OCS sьčati `urinate' (iterative). But the reconstruction * seikʷ- does no work in Greek: one does not expect ἰκμ-, nor ἶξαι; Germanic has forms with * seik-. More forms Pok. 893, W.-Hofmann s. siat.

ἐλελίζω (2)

Grammatical information: v.

Meaning: 1. `shake', med.-pass. `tremble, be shaken', 2. `turn round, t. oneself' (Il.).

Other forms: aor. ἐλελίξαι, pass. ἐλελιχθῆναι, 3. sg. pret. ἐλέλικτο, perf. med. ἐλέλιγμαι (hell.)

Compounds: As 1. member (cf. Schwyzer 444: 3) in ἐλελί-χθων `shaking the earth' (Pi. P. 2, 4), `earth-shaker', surname of Poseidon (Pi. P. 6, 50), of Dionysos (S. Ant. 153); also in ἐλελί-σφακος, - ον s. v.

Origin: IE [Indo-European]X [probably] [667] * leig- `jump, whirl, make whirl?'

Etymology: In the aorist forms ἐλέλιξα, ἐλελίχθην two verbs seem to have merged: 1. a reduplic. present ἐλελίζω `shake'; 2. an augmented *ἐ-Ϝέλιξα with the present (Ϝ)ελίσσω `turn' (s. v. ἔλιξ). The preterite ἐλέλικτο refers to a snake in Λ 39 and belongs therefore as *ϜεϜέλικτο `twisted itself' to 2; the expression ἔγχος... σειόμενον ἐλέλικτο Ν 558 can as well represent the turning or whirling as the shaking movement. It is no longer possible to distinguish the two. Cf. Chantr. Gramm. hom. 1, 132, also Bechtel Lex. s. ἐλελίζω. - In the meaning `shake' ἐλελίξαι, ἐλελίζω is connected with Skt. réjate `tremble', réjati `put in (whirling) movement', Goth. laikan `jump', Lith. láigyti `wild umherlaufen' etc.; it supposes that - ίξαι, - ίζω is part of the root; see Risch 257ff. One starts from a root aorist ἐ-λέ-λιξ-α, to which the passive aorist ἐ-λελίχ-θην and the present ἐ-λελίζω were formed either with prothesis (impossible) or with draging of the augment (cf. Schwyzer 648); both rather improbable. The reduplication may be a young Greek element.

Grammatical information: v.

Meaning: `stir, provoke' (Il.)

Other forms: with aor. ἐρεθίσαι (A.), pass. ἐρεθ-ισθῆναι, - ισθεῖς (Hdt.), - ίξαι (AP), perf. pass. ἠρέθ-ισμαι, - ισμένος (Ion.-Att.), act. ἠρέθικα (Aeschin.), fut. - ίσω, - ιῶ (hell.);

Compounds: with prefix ἀν-, δι-, ἐξ-, προσ-ερεθίζω etc., also ἐξ-, κατ-ερέθω,

Derivatives: From ἐρεθίζω: ἐρεθισμός (Hp.), ἐρέθισμα (Ar.; cf. Porzig Satzinhalte 186) `provocation, irritation', ἐρεθιστής `agitator' (LXX), - ιστικός `irritating' (Hp.) - From ἐρέθω: perhaps *ὄροθος in ὀροθύνω, s. v.

Origin: XX [etym. unknown]

Etymology: The present ἐρέθω can like θαλέθω, φλεγέθω a. o. (Schwyzer 703, Chantraine Gramm. hom. 1, 327ff.) have a formans θ; it is then derived from a primary verb which is unknown. Note the following forms in H.: ἔρετο ὡρμήθη, ἔρσεο διεγείρου, ἔρσῃ ὁρμήσῃ, that migth have formed the basis of ἐρέθω. Further s. ὄρνυμι.

Origin: XX [etym. unknown]

Etymology: The present ἐρέθω can like θαλέθω, φλεγέθω a. o. (Schwyzer 703, Chantraine Gramm. hom. 1, 327ff.) have a formans θ; it is then derived from a primary verb which is unknown. Note the following forms in H.: ἔρετο ὡρμήθη, ἔρσεο διεγείρου, ἔρσῃ ὁρμήσῃ, that migth have formed the basis of ἐρέθω. Further s. ὄρνυμι.

Meaning: `divine, superhuman, enormous, wunderfull' (Il.).

Compounds: as 1. member, e. g. θεσπι-δαές ( πῦρ, Il.; s. on δαίω) and as PN;

Derivatives: from there θεσπίζω, aor. θεσπίσαι, - ίξαι (Theoc.) `prophesy, give an oracle' (Hdt., trag.,) with θεσπίσματα pl. (rarely sg.) `oracle (pronunciation)' (trag.), θεσπιστής `fortune-teller, prophet' (Man.). Also θέσπις, ιος, - ιν, - ιδα `id.' (Od.). Here also Θεσπιαί pl. town in Boeotia and other GN.

Origin: IE [Indo-European] [259] * dhh₁s- `god' and [897] * sekʷ- `speak'

Etymology: Like e. g. ἀμβρόσιος from ἄμβροτος is θεσπέσιος derived from *θέσ-σπ-ετος, a compound of *θεσ- `god' (s. θεός) and the verb ( ἐνι-)σπεῖν `proclaim' (s. ἐν(ν)έπω) with το-suffix (cf. ἄ-σπ-ετος); so prop. `proclaimed by a god'. So θέσπις for *θέσ-σπ-ις, evtl. as shortened form. - Details in Bechtel Lex. s. vv.; also Schwyzer 450 and 458.

Compounds: also with ἐκ- (Call., AP),

Derivatives: κεραϊστής `destroyer' (h. Merc. 336; Zumbach Neuerungen 7), κεραϊσμός `destruction' (D. H.).

Origin: IE [Indo-European] [578] *ḱerh₂- `damage, intr. fall apart'

Etymology: The secondary present κεραΐζω, the basis of the group, may have replaced an older primary verb, which is retained in the nasalpresents Skt. śr̥ṇā́ti `breaks', OIr. ar-a-chrin `fall into decay'. The disyll. stem κερα- has an exact counterpart in Skt. aorist a-śarī-t (length of the ī secondary) and in the OIr. preterite do-cer `he fell' (IE. ḱerh₂-). In Greek he is still seen in ἀ-κέρα-ιος `unhurt', perhaps also in ἀ-κήρα-τος `id.' (η metr. lengthening?, cf. s. v.). An intermediate noun *κερα-Ϝός (Bechtel Lex. s. v.; cf. also Schwyzer 735) is improbable and unecessary. - Independent formations are κεραυνός; not here κήρ; s. vv.

Origin: IE [Indo-European] [945] * kers- ` shave'

Etymology: As primary verbal noun κουρά stands for *κορσά (on he phonetics Schwyzer 285f., Lejeune Traité de phon. 108 n. 3, 119 n. 2); the verb is seen in Hitt. karš-mi ` cut off' (IE rather *kérs-mi than *kórs-mi); with t-enlargement Toch.

Origin: IE [Indo-European] [570] * krik- `cry'

Etymology: The system κέκρῑγα: κρῐγεῐν: κρίζω: κρῖξαι agrees with κέκρᾱγα: κρᾰγεῖν: κράζω: κρᾶξαι (s. v.). Like this a sound-verb. κρίζω has a direct cognate in the root present OWNo. hrīka `creak' (IE. * krig-). With κρίκε with - κ- agree several forms: Balt., e.g. Lith. krykiù, krykti ( krykšti) `cry, creak', Slav., e.g. Russ. kričátь `cry', krik `crying'.

Origin: XX [etym. unknown]

Etymology: From μείλιχος: 1. μειλιχίη f. `softness, mildness' (O741, Hes., A. R.); 2. μειλιχώδης `soft' (Cerc.); μειλίχη f. `boxing-glove' (Paus. 8, 40, 3; cf. πυρρίχη); 4. μειλίσσω, aor. - ίξαι `calm' (Il.), also with ἐκ-; μείλιγμα ( μέλιχμα Miletos VI^a ; Schulze Kl.

(Chantraine Form. 403f., Schwyzer 498, Locker Glotta 22, 58f.), firt to μείλια (s. v.), but without certain further connection. The diff. dialectforms μειλ-: μελλ-: μηλ- can be explained from μελ-ν-, whereby one thought partly of Lat. mel `honey', gen. mellis (if really from *mel-n-és), partly of Lith. malóne `mercy'; see the lit. in W.-Hofmann s. mel, melior and mītis; old lit. also in WP. 2, 244 and in Bq. -- Folketymologically μείλιχος was no doubt connected with μέλι (Chantraine Mél. Boisacq 1, 169ff.), but μειλισσέμεν H410 not with Schmid BphW 36, 1414ff. for *μελισσέμεν from μέλι, cf. Kretschmer Glotta 10, 242.

Grammatical information: adj.

Meaning: Conventional epithet of unclear meaning (after H. μέρμερα = χαλεπά, δεινά, φροντίδος ἄξια); apparently intensive formation with reduplication, which suggests connection with μέρ-ιμνα(?). So prop. meaning `causing meditation, cares', from where `distressful, dreadful' v. t.(?), of persons `(much) meditating, caring'; also as PN (Apollod., Paus.).

Other forms: (Hom., only Il.) always n. pl. μέρμερα as epithet of ἔργα, also as object of ῥέζειν, μητίσασθαι, posthom. of κακόν, βλάβη etc. (E., Lyc., Nic.), also of persons and animals (Pl. Hp. Ma., Plu., Opp.); enlarged. μερ-μέριος (Them.).

Derivatives: Besides μέρμηραι f. pl. `cares, anxieties' (Hes. Th. 55, Thgn. 1325, also IG 14, 1942 [late verse]), μερμηρίζω, - ίξαι, - ίξω `care, meditate, invent, consider, linger' (Hom.; cf. Ruijgh L'élém. ach. 87); also μερμαίρω (Suid., H., Phot. [codd. also - μέρω]); on ἀπο-μερμηρίσαι `forget the cares' (Ar. V. 5, D. C.) s. Ruijgh ibd.

Origin: PG [a word of Pre-Greek origin]

Etymology: The length of the vowel in μέρ-μηρ-αι againt μέρ-μερ-ος has been explained from μερμηρίζω, where it is ascribed to the metre, but this is no sufficient explanation; rather it points to Pre-Greek origin; on ε\/η s. Fur. 257 n. 42. -- Under μέριμνα we pointed to the primary thematic root-verb Skt. smárati, Av. maraiti `remember' (reduplicated hi-šmar-); further there is, with broken reduplication, Arm. mormok' `regret, displeausre, sorrow, grief' and the also reduplicated Lat. me-mor `mindful', to which prob. also mora `delay'.

Other forms: aor. - ίξαι, - ιχθῆναι.

Origin: PG [a word of Pre-Greek origin]X [probably]

Etymology: Denominative formation in - ίζω (after ἐλελίζω, στυφελίζω, δνοπαλίζω a.o. with comparable meaning; Chantraine Gramm. hom. 1, 340) from an unknown noun, approx. *πέλεμα v.t., which may have cognates in Germ., a.o. in the compp. Goth. us-film-a `frightened, appalled' (with usfilm-ei `fright, horror'), OWNo. felms-fullr `full of frightening', which presuppose a noun PGm. * felma- `fright'. If one distinguishes an m-suffix one could connect the group of πάλλω (since Fick KZ 19, 262; further s. WP. 2, 52f.). Also Arm. al̃m-uk `confusion, unrest' (: παλμ-ός, πελεμ-ίζω) can be connected (Adjarian MSL 20, 160). -- Here may also belong πόλεμος; s.v. Furnée 151 (with n. 42) calls πελεμ- entschieden ungriechisch; the suffix - εμ- would be Pre-Greek.

Origin: IE [Indo-European]X [probably] [47] * h₂en-os? `face'

Etymology: Not to be seprated from ἀπ-, προσ-ηνής; so it may contain a subst. *ἦνος, *ἆνος n. `face' (cf. Lat. prae-ceps); s. ἀπηνής w. lit. Diff. Bechtel Lex. with Pott: to Lat. prōnus (against this W.-Hofmann s.v.).

Origin: XX [etym. unknown]

Etymology: As the basic meaning of στέφω, from which all other formations ar serived, clearly is `closely, fest surrounded, enclosed', there is no reason not to connect, Skt. stabhnā́ti, perf. tastámbha `make fest, hold fest, support, stiffen, stem', as already appears from πύκα `close, fest', πυκάζω `make fest, enclose narrowly', ἄμ-πυξ (and Av. pusā) `band of the forehead, diadem' [but see s.v.]. Of the many further representatives of this great and difficult to limit wordgroup may only still be mentioned Skt. stambha- m. `making fest, stem, support, post, pillar', Lith. stam̃bas `stump, stalk of a plant', Latv. stabs `pillar', Germ. e.g. OHG stabēn `be fixed, stiff' (Eastfris. staf `stiff, lame'), OWNo. stefja `stem', OHG stab, OWNo. stafr `staff'; IE * stebh-, stembh- (WP. 2, 623ff., Pok. 1011 ff.). -- As Skt. stambha- can also mean `bumptiousness, pretentious being', the question has arisen, whether also στόμφος `bombastic, highflown speech' belongs here; cf. on στέμβω. With stabhnā́ti etc. are often connected στέμβω [wrongly, s.v.], ἀστεμφής etc. assuming a meaning complex `press, stamp, stem, support, post etc.' (s. WP. and Pok. l. c.), a combination, which goes beyond what can be proven. -- Diff. on στέφω, στέφανος Lidén Streitberg-Festgabe 224ff.: to NPers. tāǰ `corona, diadema regium', Arm. t`ag `id.', ev. also to Osset. multiplicative suffix - daɣ (W. Oss. dudaɣ) with a basic meaning `wind, wrap, fold'; would be IE *( s)tegʷʰ-. == Frisk's discussion is completely dated. It is hampered by Pok. 1011, where (* stebh-. * stembh- and * step- are conbined; this is impossible in IE, so the grouping can best be completely dismissed (presence beside absence of a nasal is impossible, as is bh\/b\/p.) Skt. stabhná̄ti has a root * stembhH-\/*stm̥bhH-, which cannot give Gr. στεφ-, not στεμβ-. It might be found in ἀστεμφής. = σταφυλή and στέμφυλον are a Pre-Greek group and have nothing to do with IE. = The argumentation around ἄμπυξ (s.v.) can better be abandoned. = For στέφω one expects *stebh- (without nasal), but no such root has been found; the Geranic words for `staff (Stab)' have a quite diff. meaning. = So στέφω has no etym.
