(after H. s. ῥαφανίς with Tryphon Dor.); prob. miswritten for ῥαφάνους or ῥαφ\<άν\>ας; cf. Phot. ῥάφανον την ῥαφανῖδα. Έπίχαρμος (Fr. 204) [improbable]. With ῥάφανος cf. πύανος, λάχανον, πήγανον a. other plantnames; of ῥάφυς, ῥάπυς remind σίκυς, κάχρυς, στάχυς a.o.Origin: PG [a word of Pre-Greek origin]Etymology: Old designation of the turnip, which is widespread in the Europ. languages but shows a varying vocalism, which points to old loans: Lat. rāpum n., -a f., OHG ruoba f., Lith. rópė f., which may all come fom IE * rāp-; besides OHG raba, Bayr. Kohlraben (influenced by Lat. rāpa?), Slav., e.g. R.-CSl. rěpa, Russ. répa f. (IE * rēp or secondary derailment?; cf. Machek Ling. Posn. 2, 158 ff.); here further, with ᾰ and almost general aspiration, Gr. ῥάπυς, ῥάφυς, ῥάφανος (on the formation above). Already because of the lacking prothet. vowel ῥάπυς etc. cannot be an IE heritage; to be rejected Carnoy REGr. 71, 98 and Ant. class. 24, 22. (Quite on themselves stand Celt. forms like Welsh erfin pl. `turnips'). -- The transer of the old word for `turnip' to black radish and cabbage will be due to the decline of the cultivation of the turnip in Greece; for `turbip' a new word, γογγυλίς, came into use. Details w. rich lit. in WP. 2, 341, Pok. 852, W.-Hofmann, Fraenkel and Vasmer s.vv.; on the facts also Schrader-Nehring Reallex. 1, 612 and 2, 251. -- The variation π\/φ, and the suffix - αν-, show that the word is Pre-Greek.Page in Frisk: 2,645Greek-English etymological dictionary (Ελληνικά-Αγγλικά ετυμολογική λεξικό) > ῥάφανος
