Origin: IE [Indo-European] [833] * pleth₂- `broad'

Etymology: With πλατύς are deiretcly dientical Skt. pr̥thú-, Av. pǝrǝʮu- `wide, broad' (on the dental bel.). To this πλάτος like e.g. βάρος to βαρύς (s. v.) with zero grade instead of the older full grade in Skt. práthas- = Av. fraʮah- n. `breadth', Celt., e.g. Welsh. lled `id.' Also πλαταμών has -- the secondary zero grade excepted -- an exact Skt. agreement, i.e. prathi-mán- m. `extension, breadth'; cf. bel. With the reserve necessary with PN Πλάταια can be identified with Skt. pr̥thivī́ f. `earth', prop. "the broad (stretches of earth); here also a Celtic agreement e.g. in Welsh.-Lat. Letavia, Welsh Llydau `Brittany'. The identification, which is in itself possible, of πλάτανος with Celt., e.g. OIr. lethan, Welsh llydan `broad' is however rather improbable; cf. s. v. The same suffix also in Hitt. paltana-'arm, shoulder', which resembles semantically πλάτη (Laroche Rev. de phil. 75, 38, Benveniste BSL 50, 42). On πλάτη beside πλάτος cf. βλάβη: βλάβος, πάθη: πάθος a.o.; after κώπη? -- A corresponding primary verb is only in Skt. práthati, -te `extend' retained, to which as verbal noun prathi-mán-: πλατα-μών prop. "which extends" (cf. τελα-μών prop. "who bears"). The from this and from pr̥thi-vī : Πλάτα-ια resulting disyll. root * pleth₂-: *pl̥th₂ gave the Skt. aspirate (in prevocalic position): pr̥thú- from *pl̥th₂-ú-, práthas- from *pléth₂os-. -- Far remains Arm. layn `broad' (to Lat. lātus `broad'), s. W.-Hofmann s. v. w. lit. Further details with rich lit. in Mayrhofer s. pr̥thúḥ, pr̥thvī́, práthati, práthaḫ, prathimā́, W.-Hofmann s. 1. planta, Fraenkel s. platùs; older lit. in WP. 2, 99f. (Pok. 833f.).

Grammatical information: n.

Meaning: `face, countenance, mask, role, person' (Il.).

Other forms: ep. pl. also - πατα (cf. below).

Compounds: Rarely as 1. member, e.g. προσωπο-λήπτης m. `who respects persons, who is partial' with - ληπτέω, - ληψία (NT). Very often as 2. member, mostly late., e.g. μικρο-πρόσωπος `small-faced' (Arist.).

Derivatives: Dimin. προσωπ-ίδιον (Ar.), - εῖον (- ιον) n. `mask' (Thphr., LXX), the plantname - ιον, - ίς, - ιάς, - ῖτις (Dsc. a.o.; prob. after the form of the flower; Strömberg Pfl.namen 47), - οῦττα f. `face-shaped vessel', "face-urn" (Polem. Hist., Poll.).

Origin: IE [Indo-European] [775] * h₃ekʷ- `see'

Etymology: Like μέτωπον `forehead' (s.v.) πρόσωπον is also prop. a hypostasis, i.e. from *προτι-ωπ-ον, prop. "what is opposite the eyes, the sight (of the partner)"; cf. Schwyzer-Debrunner 517 n. 1. Thus also e.g. Goth. and-augi n., also OE and-wlit-a m., OHG ant-lizz-i n. `face, Antlitz' (Goth. wlits `aspect, shape'). Slightly diff. Sommer Nominalkomp. 115 n.1 (with deviating interpretation of the prefix): `the part of the head, that lies over against the eyes, on the side of the eyes'. Through connection with ep. προτι-όσσομαι, προσ-όψομαι `look at', ὄπωπα etc. πρόσωπον could also be (re)interpreted as verbal noun (cf. Angesicht). -- With πρόσωπον agrees almost exactly Skt. prátīkam n. `face, appearance' from práti = πρότι and a zero grade form of the IE word for `see, look' (s. 2. ὄψ and ὄπωπα), * proti-h₃kʷ- (cf. on ὀπιπεύω); so πρόσωπον from an older formation elucidated after ( ἐν)ὦπα etc. (Schwyzer 426 n. 4)? Quite uncertain Toch. A pratsak, B pratsāko `breast' (A ak, B ek `eye'). On the IE expressions for `face' s. Malten Die Sprache des menschlichen Antlitzes im frühen Griechentum (Berlin 1961) 1ff. -- The ep. plural προσώπ-ατα, - ασι can easily be explained as an enlargement favoured by the metre (Schwyzer 515 n. 3); the assumption of an old n(t)-stem (Chantraine Gramm. hom. 1, 213 as alternative) is improbable. -- Further details w. lit. in WP. 1, 170, also Mayrhofer s. prátīkam.

A, a, indecl. n. (sometimes joined with littera), the first letter of the Latin alphabet, corresponding to the a, a of the other Indo-. European languages:

A primum est: hinc incipiam, et quae nomina ab hoc sunt, Lucil. ap. Terent. Scaur. p. 2255 P.: sus rostro si humi A litteram impresserit,

Cic. Div. 1, 13, 23:

ne in A quidem atque S litteras exire temere masculina Graeca nomina recto casu patiebantur,

Quint. 1, 5, 61.

The sound of the A is short or long in every part of the word; as, ăb, păter, ită; ā, māter, frustrā. During a short period (between about 620 and 670 A. U. C. = from 134 to 84 B.C.) long a was written aa, probably first by the poet L. Attius, in the manner of the Oscan language; so we find in Latin inscriptions: AA. CETEREIS (i.e.a ceteris), CALAASI, FAATO, HAACE, MAARCIVM, PAAPVS, PAASTORES, VAARVS; and in Greek writing, MAAPKOPs PsIOS MAAPKEAAOS, KOINTON MAAPKION (like Osc. aasas = Lat. āra, Osc. Paapi = Lat. Pāpius, Osc. Paakul = Lat. Pāculus, Pācullus, Pācuvius, etc.), v. Ritschl, Monum. Epigr. p. 28 sq., and cf. Mommsen, Unterital. Dialekte, p. 210 sq. (The Umbrian language has gone a step farther, and written long a by aha, as Aharna, Naharcom, trahaf, etc.; cf. Aufrecht and Kirchhoff, Umbrische Sprachdenkm. p. 76 sq.) Vid. also the letters E and U.

In etymological and grammatical formation of words, short a very often (sometimes also long a) is changed into other vowels.

Short a is changed,

, into long a —

In consequence of the suppression of the following consonants at the end or in the middle of the word: ŭb, ā; vădis, vūs; ăg-, ăg-men, exāmen; tăg-, contūmino; căd-, cāsus. Hence also in the abl. sing. of the first decl., and in the particles derived from it. in consequence of the suppression of the original ablat. end. - d: PRAEDAD (Col. Rostr.), praedā; SENTENTIAD (S. C. de Bacch.), sententiā; EXTBAD (ib.), extrā; SVPRAD (ib.), suprā. —Hence,

In perfect forms: scăb-o, scābi; căveo, cūvi; făv-eo, fāvi; păv-eo, pāvi (for scăbui, căvui, făvui, păvui).

In other forms: ăgo, ambūges; păc-, păc-iscor, pâcis (pâx); săg-ax, sūgus, sāga; măc-er, mâcero; făg- (phagein), fūgus. (Contrary to analogy, ă remains short in dănunt, from dă-in-unt, V. Ritschl, l.l.p. 17.)

Short a is changed into é or ē—

Into é.

Most frequently in the second part of compounds, particularly before two consonants: facio, confectus; jacio, conjectus; rapio, dereptus; dăm-, damno, condemno; fāl-, fallo, fefelli; măn-, mando, commendo; scando, ascendo; ăp-, aptus, ineptus; ăr-, ars, iners, sollers; ăn-, annus, perennis; căpio, auceps; căput, triceps; ăgo, remex; jăcio, objex. And thus in Plautus, according to the best MSS., dispenno, dispessus from pando, compectus from compăciscor, anteceptus from capio (on the other hand, in Vergil, according to the best MS., aspurgo, attractare, deiractare, kept their a unchanged).

Sometimes ă is changed into ĕ also before one consonant (but in this case it is usually changed into ĭ; v. infra, 3. a. a.): grădior, ingrĕdior; pătior, perpĕtior; părio, repĕrio; păro, vitupĕro; ăp-, coepi (i. e. co-ŭpi); căno, tubicĕn, tibicĕn; in the reduplicated carcĕr (from carcar) farfŏrus (written also farfārus); and so, according to the better MSS., aequipĕro from păro, and defĕtigo from fătigo.

In words taken from the Greek: talanton, talŏntum; phalara, phalŏrae; sisaron, sisŏr (but, according to the best MSS., cumŭra from kamara, not camŏra).

Short a is changed to ē in some perfect forms: ăgo, ēgi; fūcio, féci; jăci, jĕci; frag-, frango, frēgi; căpio, cēpi, and păg-, pango, pēgi (together with pepĭgi and panxi, v. pango).

Short a is changed to ĭ, a (most frequently in the second part of compounds)

before one consonant: ăgo, abĭgo; făcio, confĭcio; cădo, concĭdo; sălio, assĭlio; răpio, abrĭpio; păter, Juppĭter (in Umbrian lang. unchanged, Jupater), Marspĭter; Diespĭter, Opĭter; rătus, irrĭtus; ămicus, inìmicus (but ŭ remains unchanged in adŭmo, impătiens, and in some compounds of a later period of Roman literature, as praejacio, calefacio, etc.). —

Sometimes also before two consonants (where it is usually changed into ĕ; v. supra, 2. a. b.): tăg-, tango, contingo; păg-, pango, compingo (unchanged in some compounds, as peragro, desacro, depango, obcanto, etc.).

ă is changed into ĭ in the reduplicated perfect forms: cădo, cecĭdi; căno, cecĭni; tăg-, tango, tetĭgi; păg-, pango, pepĭgi.

Likewise in some roots which have ă: păg-, pignus; străg- (strangulo, strangô), stringo.

In words taken from the Greek: mêchanê, machĭna; patanê, patĭna; bukanê, bucĭna; trutanê, trutĭna; balaneion, balĭneum; Katana, Catĭna (written also Catana); Akragas, Agrĭgentum.

Short a is changed into short or long o.

Into ŏ: scăbo, scobs; păr, pars, portio; dăm-, dŏmo; Fabii, Fŏvii (v. Paul. ex Fest. p. 87); marmaron, marmŏr; Mars, redupl. Marmar, Marmor (Carm. Fratr. Arv.).

Into ō: dă-, dōnum, dōs; ăc-, ăcuo, ōcior (v. this art.).

Short a is changed into ŭ —

In the second part of compounds, particularly before l, p, and b: calco, inculco; salsus, insulsus; salto, exsulto; capio, occŭpo; răpio, surrupio and surruptus (also written surripio and surreptus); tăberna, contŭbernium; —before other consonants: quătio, conoŭtio; as, decussis; Mars, Mamŭrius, Mamŭralia; and once also condumnari (Tab. Bant. lin. 8, immediately followed by condemnatus, v. Klenze, Philol. Abhandl. tab. I., and Mommsen, Unterital. Dial. p. 149).

In words of Greek origin: Hekabê, Hecŭba; skutalê, scutŭla; kraipalê, crapŭla; passalos, pessŭlus; aphlaston, aplustre; thriambos, triumphus.

ă is perhaps changed into ŭ in ulciscor, compared with alc-, ulexô (arc-, arceo).

Long a is sometimes changed into ē or ō.

Into é: hālo, anhélo; fās-, féstus, profēstus; nām, némpe.

Into ō: gnā-, gnārus, ignārus, ignōro. (But in general long a remains unchanged in composition: lābor, delūbor; gnàvus, ignūnus; fàma, infūmis.)

Contrary to the mode of changing Greek a into Latin e, i, o, u (v. supra), Latin a has sometimes taken the place of other Greek vowels in words borrowed from the Greek, as: lonchê, lancea; kulix, călix; Ganumêoês, Caiāmitus.

The repugnance of the Latin Language to the Greek combined vowels ao has caused the translocation of them in Alumento for Daomeoôn (Paul. ex Fest. p. 18 Müll.).— Greek a is suppressed in Hercules from Hêraklês (probably in consequence of the inserted u; in late Latin we find Heracla and Heracula, cf. Ritschl, in Rhein. Mus. Neue Folge, vol. 12, p. 108).

Latin ă was early combined with the vowels i and u, forming the diphthongs ai and au; by changing the i into e, the diphthong ai soon became ae. So we find in the oldest inscriptions: AIDE, AIDLLIS, AIQVOM, GNAIVOD, HAICE, DVELONAI, TABELAI, DATAI, etc., which soon gave place to aedem, aedilis, aequom, Gnaeo, haec, Bellonae, tabellae, datae, etc. (the Col. Rostr. has PRAESENTE, PRAEDAD, and the S. C. de Bacch. AEDEM. The triphthong aei, found in CONQVAEISIVEI (?), is very rare; Miliar. Popil. lin. 11, v. Ritschl, l. l. p. 21). In some poets the old gen. sing. of the first decl. (- ai) is preserved, but is dissyllabic, āī. So in Ennius: Albūī Longūī, terrūī frugiferāī, frondosāī, lunāī, viāī; in Vergil: aulāī, aurāī, aquāī, pictāī; in Ausonius: herāī.

ue as well as au are changed into other vowels.

The sound of ae, e, and oe being very similar, these vowels are often interchanged in the best MSS., So we find caerimonia and cerimonia, caepa and cēpa, saeoulum and séculum; scaena and scēna; caelum and coelum, haedus and hoedus, macstus and moestus; cena, coena, and caena, etc.

In composition and reduplications ae becomes í: aequus, iníquus; quaero, inquíro; laedo, illído; taedet, pertisum (noticed by Cic.); aestumo, exístumo; cuedo, cecídi, concído, homicida.

ae is also changed into í in a Latinized word of Greek origin: Achaios (AchaiWos), Achíous.

The diphthong au is often changed to ó and ú (the latter particularly in compounds): caudex, códex; Claudius, Clodius; lautus, lotus; plaustrum, plōstrum; plaudo, plōdo, explōdo; paululum, pōlulum; faux, suffōco; si audes (acc. to Cic. or acc. to others, si audies), sódes, etc.; claudo, inclūdo; causa, accūso. Hence in some words a regular gradation of au, o, u is found: claudo, clōdicare, clúdo; raudus, ródus, rúdus; caupo, cópa, cūpa; naugae, nōgae (both forms in the MSS. of Plautus), nūgae; fraustra, frode, frude (in MSS. of Vergil); cf. Ritschl, in Wintercatalog 1854-55, and O. Ribbeck, in Jahn's Neue Jahrb. vol. 77, p. 181 sq.—The change of au into oē and ō appears only in audio, (oboedio) obēdio.

Au sometimes takes the place of av-: faveo, fautum, favitor, fautor; navis, navita, nauta; avis, auceps, auspex. So Latin aut corresponds to Sanscr. avo. (whence - vā, Lat. - ve), Osc. avti, Umbr. ute, ote; and so the Lat. preposition ab, through av, becomes au in the words aufero and aufugio (prop. av-fero, av-fugio, for ab-fero, ab-fugio). Vid. the art. ab init.

In primitive roots, which have their kindred forms in the sister-languages of the Latin, the original a, still found in the Sanscrit, is in Latin either preserved or more frequently changed into other vowels.

Original a preserved: Sanscr. mātri, Lat. màter; S. bhrātri, L. fràter; S. nāsā, L. nàsus and nàris; S. ap, L. aqua; S. apa, L. ab; S. nāma, L. năm; S. ćatur, [p. 2] L. quattuor (in Greek changed: thettares); S. capūla, L. căput (in Greek changed: kephalê, etc.).

Original a is changed into other Latin vowels—

Into e: S. ad, L. ed (ĕdo); S. as, L. es (esse); S. pat, L. pet (peto); S. pād, L. pĕd (pès); S. dant, L. dent (dens); S. ǵan, L. gen (gigno); S. mā, L. mè-tior; S. saptan, L. septem; S. daśan, L. decem; S. śata, L. centum; S. aham, L. ŏgo; S. pāra, L. per; S. paśu, L. pŏcus; S. asva, L. ŏquus, etc.

Into i: S. an-, a- (neg. part.), L. in-: S. ana (prep.), L. in; S. antar, L. inter; S. sama, L. similis; S. agni, L. ignis; S. abhra, L. imber; S. panéa, L. quinque, etc.

Into o: S. avi, L. ŏvi (ovis); S. vać, L. vōc (voco); S. pra, L. pro; S. pā, L. po (pŏtum); S. nāma, L. nōmen; S. api, L. ŏb; S. navan, L. nŏvem; S. nava, L. nŏvus, etc.

Into u: S. marmara, L. murmur.

Into ai, ae: S. prati, L. (prai) prae; S. śaśpa, L. caespes.

Into different vowels in the different derivatives: S. mā, L. mê-tior, mŏdus; S. praó, L. prŏcor, prŏcus; S. vah, L. vĕho, via.

Sometimes the Latin has preserved the original a, while even the Sanscrit has changed it: Lat. pa-, pater, Sanscr. pd, pitri.

As an abbreviation A. usually denotes the praenomen Aulus; A. A. = Auli duo, Inscr. Orell. 1530 (but A. A. = Aquae Aponi, the modern Abano, ib. 1643 sq.; 2620; 3011). The three directors of the mint were designated by III. VIRI A. A. A. F. F. (i. e. auro, argento, aeri flando, feriundo), ib. 569; 2242; 2379; 3134 al.;

so also A. A. A.,

ib. 3441 (cf. Cic. Fam. 7, 13 fin., and v. the art. Triumviri); A. D. A. agris dandis adsignandis, and A. I. A. agris judicandis adsignandis; A. O. amico optimo; A. P. a populo or aediliciae potestatis; A. P. R. aerario populi Romani. —Upon the voting tablets in judicial trials A. denoted absoluo; hence A. is called littera salutaris, Cic. Mil. 6, 15; v. littera. In the Roman Comitia A. (= antiquo) denoted the rejection of the point in question; v. antiquo. In Cicero's Tusculan Disputations the A. designated one of the disputants = adulescens or auditor, opp. to M. for magister or Marcus (Cicero); but it is to be remarked that the letters A and M do not occur in the best MSS. of this treatise; cf. edd. ad Cic. Tusc. 1, 5, 9.—In dates A. D. = ante diem; v. ante; A. U. C. = anno urbis conditae; A. P. R. C. anno post Romam conditam.

a, prep.=ab, v. ab.

ā, interj.=ah, v. ah.

A, a, indecl. n. (sometimes joined with littera), the first letter of the Latin alphabet, corresponding to the a, a of the other Indo-. European languages:

In the second part of compounds, particularly before l, p, and b: calco, inculco; salsus, insulsus; salto, exsulto; capio, occŭpo; răpio, surrupio and surruptus (also written surripio and surreptus); tăberna, contŭbernium; —before other consonants: quătio, conoŭtio; as, decussis; Mars, Mamŭrius, Mamŭralia; and once also condumnari (Tab. Bant. lin. 8, immediately followed by condemnatus, v. Klenze, Philol. Abhandl. tab. I., and Mommsen, Unterital. Dial. p. 149).

In words of Greek origin: Hekabê, Hecŭba; skutalê, scutŭla; kraipalê, crapŭla; passalos, pessŭlus; aphlaston, aplustre; thriambos, triumphus.

ă is perhaps changed into ŭ in ulciscor, compared with alc-, ulexô (arc-, arceo).

Long a is sometimes changed into ē or ō.

Into é: hālo, anhélo; fās-, féstus, profēstus; nām, némpe.

Into ō: gnā-, gnārus, ignārus, ignōro. (But in general long a remains unchanged in composition: lābor, delūbor; gnàvus, ignūnus; fàma, infūmis.)

Contrary to the mode of changing Greek a into Latin e, i, o, u (v. supra), Latin a has sometimes taken the place of other Greek vowels in words borrowed from the Greek, as: lonchê, lancea; kulix, călix; Ganumêoês, Caiāmitus.

The repugnance of the Latin Language to the Greek combined vowels ao has caused the translocation of them in Alumento for Daomeoôn (Paul. ex Fest. p. 18 Müll.).— Greek a is suppressed in Hercules from Hêraklês (probably in consequence of the inserted u; in late Latin we find Heracla and Heracula, cf. Ritschl, in Rhein. Mus. Neue Folge, vol. 12, p. 108).

Latin ă was early combined with the vowels i and u, forming the diphthongs ai and au; by changing the i into e, the diphthong ai soon became ae. So we find in the oldest inscriptions: AIDE, AIDLLIS, AIQVOM, GNAIVOD, HAICE, DVELONAI, TABELAI, DATAI, etc., which soon gave place to aedem, aedilis, aequom, Gnaeo, haec, Bellonae, tabellae, datae, etc. (the Col. Rostr. has PRAESENTE, PRAEDAD, and the S. C. de Bacch. AEDEM. The triphthong aei, found in CONQVAEISIVEI (?), is very rare; Miliar. Popil. lin. 11, v. Ritschl, l. l. p. 21). In some poets the old gen. sing. of the first decl. (- ai) is preserved, but is dissyllabic, āī. So in Ennius: Albūī Longūī, terrūī frugiferāī, frondosāī, lunāī, viāī; in Vergil: aulāī, aurāī, aquāī, pictāī; in Ausonius: herāī.

ue as well as au are changed into other vowels.

The sound of ae, e, and oe being very similar, these vowels are often interchanged in the best MSS., So we find caerimonia and cerimonia, caepa and cēpa, saeoulum and séculum; scaena and scēna; caelum and coelum, haedus and hoedus, macstus and moestus; cena, coena, and caena, etc.

In composition and reduplications ae becomes í: aequus, iníquus; quaero, inquíro; laedo, illído; taedet, pertisum (noticed by Cic.); aestumo, exístumo; cuedo, cecídi, concído, homicida.

ae is also changed into í in a Latinized word of Greek origin: Achaios (AchaiWos), Achíous.

The diphthong au is often changed to ó and ú (the latter particularly in compounds): caudex, códex; Claudius, Clodius; lautus, lotus; plaustrum, plōstrum; plaudo, plōdo, explōdo; paululum, pōlulum; faux, suffōco; si audes (acc. to Cic. or acc. to others, si audies), sódes, etc.; claudo, inclūdo; causa, accūso. Hence in some words a regular gradation of au, o, u is found: claudo, clōdicare, clúdo; raudus, ródus, rúdus; caupo, cópa, cūpa; naugae, nōgae (both forms in the MSS. of Plautus), nūgae; fraustra, frode, frude (in MSS. of Vergil); cf. Ritschl, in Wintercatalog 1854-55, and O. Ribbeck, in Jahn's Neue Jahrb. vol. 77, p. 181 sq.—The change of au into oē and ō appears only in audio, (oboedio) obēdio.

Au sometimes takes the place of av-: faveo, fautum, favitor, fautor; navis, navita, nauta; avis, auceps, auspex. So Latin aut corresponds to Sanscr. avo. (whence - vā, Lat. - ve), Osc. avti, Umbr. ute, ote; and so the Lat. preposition ab, through av, becomes au in the words aufero and aufugio (prop. av-fero, av-fugio, for ab-fero, ab-fugio). Vid. the art. ab init.

In primitive roots, which have their kindred forms in the sister-languages of the Latin, the original a, still found in the Sanscrit, is in Latin either preserved or more frequently changed into other vowels.

Original a preserved: Sanscr. mātri, Lat. màter; S. bhrātri, L. fràter; S. nāsā, L. nàsus and nàris; S. ap, L. aqua; S. apa, L. ab; S. nāma, L. năm; S. ćatur, [p. 2] L. quattuor (in Greek changed: thettares); S. capūla, L. căput (in Greek changed: kephalê, etc.).

Original a is changed into other Latin vowels—

Into e: S. ad, L. ed (ĕdo); S. as, L. es (esse); S. pat, L. pet (peto); S. pād, L. pĕd (pès); S. dant, L. dent (dens); S. ǵan, L. gen (gigno); S. mā, L. mè-tior; S. saptan, L. septem; S. daśan, L. decem; S. śata, L. centum; S. aham, L. ŏgo; S. pāra, L. per; S. paśu, L. pŏcus; S. asva, L. ŏquus, etc.

Into i: S. an-, a- (neg. part.), L. in-: S. ana (prep.), L. in; S. antar, L. inter; S. sama, L. similis; S. agni, L. ignis; S. abhra, L. imber; S. panéa, L. quinque, etc.

Into o: S. avi, L. ŏvi (ovis); S. vać, L. vōc (voco); S. pra, L. pro; S. pā, L. po (pŏtum); S. nāma, L. nōmen; S. api, L. ŏb; S. navan, L. nŏvem; S. nava, L. nŏvus, etc.

Into u: S. marmara, L. murmur.

Into ai, ae: S. prati, L. (prai) prae; S. śaśpa, L. caespes.

Into different vowels in the different derivatives: S. mā, L. mê-tior, mŏdus; S. praó, L. prŏcor, prŏcus; S. vah, L. vĕho, via.

Sometimes the Latin has preserved the original a, while even the Sanscrit has changed it: Lat. pa-, pater, Sanscr. pd, pitri.

As an abbreviation A. usually denotes the praenomen Aulus; A. A. = Auli duo, Inscr. Orell. 1530 (but A. A. = Aquae Aponi, the modern Abano, ib. 1643 sq.; 2620; 3011). The three directors of the mint were designated by III. VIRI A. A. A. F. F. (i. e. auro, argento, aeri flando, feriundo), ib. 569; 2242; 2379; 3134 al.;

so also A. A. A.,

ib. 3441 (cf. Cic. Fam. 7, 13 fin., and v. the art. Triumviri); A. D. A. agris dandis adsignandis, and A. I. A. agris judicandis adsignandis; A. O. amico optimo; A. P. a populo or aediliciae potestatis; A. P. R. aerario populi Romani. —Upon the voting tablets in judicial trials A. denoted absoluo; hence A. is called littera salutaris, Cic. Mil. 6, 15; v. littera. In the Roman Comitia A. (= antiquo) denoted the rejection of the point in question; v. antiquo. In Cicero's Tusculan Disputations the A. designated one of the disputants = adulescens or auditor, opp. to M. for magister or Marcus (Cicero); but it is to be remarked that the letters A and M do not occur in the best MSS. of this treatise; cf. edd. ad Cic. Tusc. 1, 5, 9.—In dates A. D. = ante diem; v. ante; A. U. C. = anno urbis conditae; A. P. R. C. anno post Romam conditam.

Origin: IE [Indo-European] [799] * pleh₁- `fill'

Etymology: The sigmatic aorist 3. sg. ἔ-πλησ-ε is (except for the -ε) identical with Skt. á-prās: IE *é-pleh₁s-t; with 1. pl. pres. πίμ-πλα-μεν agrees also, setting aside the secondary nasalisation of the present, Skt. pi-pr̥-más: IE *pi-pl̥-mé(s). Also 3. sg. πίμ-πλη-σι has a non-Gr. agreement, in Av. ham-pā-frāi-ti `fills up' over against Skt. pí-par-ti from IE * pi-pel-ti. Both in Greek and in Iran. came in sing. the langvocalic full grade plē- after other forms (e.g. the aor. *é-plēs-) for the prob. older Skt. pí-par-ti. After the pattern of τίθημι: τίθεμεν one made sometimes forms like ptc. pl. f. πιμπλεῖσαι (Hes.: τιθεῖσαι). With πέ-πλη-θ-α cf. still Skt. pa-prā́[u] (on θ below). -- The r-suffix in πλή-ρης (for older *πλη-ρο-ς? Schwyzer 513) is both in Arm. li-r `fullness' (from * plē-r-i-) and in Lat. plē-rus `for the greater part', plērī-que `most' (s. W.-Hofmann s. v.) attested. Also πλέως from *πλῆος (= Hom. πλεῖος), *πλη-(ι)ος can be equated with Arm. li `full' (better then li from * plē-tos = Lat. - plētus a.o.). The m-suffix in πλή-μη, - μα seems also in Lat. plēminābantur replēbantur (Gloss.; from * plēmen = πλῆμα) to be represented. -- Like πλῆ-θος: πλή-θω, πέ-πλη-θα also βρῖ-θος: βρί-θω: βέ-βρι-θα (s. v. and Schwyzer 511 a. 703); with πλῆθος, -θύ̄ς (on which Schwyzer 463f. and Frisk Eranos 43, 221) one compares Lat. plēbēs from IE *plēdhu̯ēs (cf. W.-Hofmann s. v.); well-argued doubts in Ernout-Meillet s. v. -- Further details w. rich lit. in WP. 2, 63f., Pok. 799f., W.-Hofmann s. pleō, Mayrhofer s. píparti¹; older lit. also in Bq. On the Greek form still Schwyzer 689. -- Cf. πολύς, πλείων, πλήμνη.

Compounds: Often w. prefix, e.g. ὑπο-, κατα-, ἐπι-.

Derivatives: l. στρῶμα ( κατά-, ὑπό- a.o.) n. `which is spread out, carpet, bedding, layer' (IA.) with - άτιον n. (hell. a. late - ατεύς m. 'bed-sack' (Thphr. a.o.), `variegated patchwork' (Gell.), name of a fish (Philo ap. Ath.; after the golden stripes; Bosshardt 62, Strömberg Fischn. 28), - ατίτης ἔρανος `picknick with one's own bedding' (Cratin.; Redard 115), - ατίζω `to provide with a carpet, to plaster' (hell. inscr., Poll., H.). 2. στρωμνή, Dor. -ά, Aeol. -ᾶ f. `carpet, mattress, bed' (Sapph., Pi., Att. etc.) with - άομαι in ἐστρωμνημένος (Phot.); cf. λίμνη, ποίμνη a.o. 3. στρῶσις ( ὑπό- a.o.) f. `the spreading, plastering' (hell. a. late). 4. στρωτήρ m. `cross-beam, roof-lath' (Ar.

With ο-vowel also στόρνη f. = ζώνη (Call., Lyc.), prob. to στόρνυμι; here Myc. api tonijo (Taillardat REGr. 73, 5ff.)?? Thus στορνυτέα καταστρωτέα, περιοικοδομητέα H.

Origin: IE [Indo-European] [1029] * sterh₃- `spread out'

Etymology: The original triad στόρ-νυμι: στορέ-σαι: στρω-τός, ἔ-στρω-μαι is partly leveled through innovations: στρώννυμι (after ζών-νυ-μι for ζωσ-), στρῶσαι after στρωτός, ἔστρωμαι; στορέννυμι after στορέσαι. As in κορέσαι, κορέννυμι, ὀλέσαι, ὄλλυμι a.o. the ο-vowel makes difficulties and has aroused a lively discussion (s. lit. s. vv.). With στόρνυμι (for *στάρνυμι?) agrees further formally Skt. str̥ṇóti `stretch down, throw down'; because of Germ., e.g. Goth. straujan, NHG streuen we can posit an IE * streu- with n-infix. Other nasal presents are Skt. str̥ṇā́ti `id.', Lat. sternō = OIr. sernim `spread out', Alb. shtrinj `id.' (IE *str̥ni̯ō). On semantic differentiation Narten Münch. Stud. 22, 57 ff., Sprache 14, 131 f. To the zero grade στρωτός answers Lat. strātus, Lith. stìrta f. `heap of hay, piled up heap, dry scaffolding' and Skt.stīrṇá- `spread out'. Disyllabic the full grade στορέ-σαι like Skt. a-starī-ṣ (2. sg.; midd. 3. sg. a-stari-ṣṭa, inf. stari-tavai; one expects * sterh₃- which would give στερο-, which has been metathesized to στορε-, but we don't know how or why; cf Schwyzer 752). Also στρῶμα has an exact counterpart, i.e. in Lat. strāmen, strāmentum `straw' (beside Skt. stárĩ-man- n. `expansion'; cf. Schwyzer 520 w. n. 5). Also agree στόρνη = ζώνη and Slav., e.g. Russ. storoná `region, side', both prob. as innovations. The isolated στορεύς (from *στόρος, -ά or innovation to στορ-έσαι, - νυμι?) represents also the same vowel grade as Russ. pro-tór m. `room, greatness' and Skt. pra-stará- m. `straw, cushion, flatness'. Further forms w. lit. in Bq, WP. 2, 638ff., Pok. 1029ff., W.-Hofmann s. sternō, Fraenkel s. stìrta, Vasmer s. prosterétь and storoná. On the stemformation esp. Strunk Nasalpräs. u. Aor. (1967) 113 f. Cf. still στέρνον and στρατός.

Grammatical information: Adv. a. prep. w. gen. (abl.), dat. (loc.), acc.

Meaning: `furthermore, thereto; from, by, at, to, towards, in face of'(ep. IA., Aeol.).

Other forms: ep. also πρότι, προτί, with metathesis πορτί (Cret.), with ε-vowel περτ' (Pamph.), πρές (Aeol. acc. to gramm.; s. also πρέσ-βυς).

Origin: IE [Indo-European] [815] * proti `against'

Etymology: Identical with πρότι (and *πρέτι) is Skt. práti `to, against'; also a.o. Lat. preti-um `price, worth', prop. `opposite equivalent', OCS protivъ `against': IE *próti, préti. From there can, first in antevocalic position ( πρότι̯), through assibilation the usual πρός (and πρές) have arisen; final -( ο)ς is found also in πάρος and πός. An old pres Pisani Sprache 7, 103 finds in Messap. prespolis (meaning unknown; after P. `lord of the house, (house)priest'). Beside προτί, πρός stand ποτί, πός; s. vv. Further connection with πρό is possible; cf. on πρόσω. -- Schwyzer 400 f., Schw.-Debrunner 508 ff. with extensive treatment and rich lit.; W.-Hofmann s. pretium, WP. 2, 38, Pok. 815f.

Origin: XX [etym. unknown]

Etymology: Unexplained. Of old (Curtius 283 with Bopp and Pott; s. Bq) connected with a verb `like, love' in Goth. frijōn, which is neither formally nor as regards the meaning unobjectionable. The o-stem πρᾶος developed perh. from the older υ-stem πραΰς, prob. through the adv. πράως, which may orig. have been contracted from πραέως and which can belong to πραΰς; this may have lead to the adj. πρᾶος, - ον; s. Egli Heteroklisie 100 ff. w. extensive treatment. The not rare ι subscriptum in πρᾳ̃ος is secondary (from ῥᾳων?; s. Debrunner IF 40 Anz. 13f.; alternative explanation in Egli 105 f.).

Origin: IE [Indo-European] [508] *i̯eug- `yoke, connect

Etymology: Bedie the athematic νυ-present ζεύγνυμι (with full grade; cf. δείκνυμι) the other languages have forms with inner nasal, Skt. yunák-ti `yokes, connects' (athem.), Lat. iung-ō (them.), Lith. jung-iù (jot pres.) `id.', or nasalless forms, Av. yaog-ǝt_ (3. sg. pret., athem.), yuǰ-yeite (3. sg., jot pras.). The other Greek forms too show full grade except the aorist ἐζύγην and the noun - ζυγη, e.g. the future and the σ-aorist (s. Schwyzer 751) but also the late nom. ag. ζευκτήρ (= Sktd. yoktár-), and the σι-(τι-)deriv. ζεῦξις and the late verbal adj. ζευκτός (against Sktd. (prá-)yukti-, yuktá-). - The λ-deriv. ζεύγ-λη is not connected with Lat. iŭgulum `clavicle' and Skt. yúgalam `pair'. S. also ζυγόν.

Compounds: also with prefix, esp. συν-; rarely act. ἥδω, ἧσαι, ἥσω `have pleasure' (Antipho Soph., hell.; after τέρπω a. o.; Schwyzer-Debrunner 228). As 2. member - ηδής, generally connected with ἡδύς or ἥδομαι: ἀ-ηδής `unpleasant' (IA.), μελι-ηδής `as sweet as honey', θυμ-ηδής `heart-pleasing' a. o.

Derivatives: 1. ἦδος n. `pleasure' (Il.; on the absence of aspir. and the doubtful traces of the digamma Chantraine Gramm. hom. 1, 184 and 151); in the meaning `vinegar' backformation from ἡδύς, s. v.; 2. ἡδονή, Dor. ἁδονά `pleasure' (IA., Dor.; Schwyzer 490, Chantraine Formation 20) with ἡδονίς = ἀφύδιον (Cyran. 18), ἡδονικός (Arist.). 3. ἁδοσύνα ἡδονή H. 4. ἥσθημα `id.' (Eup.). 5. ἡστικός `pleasant' (S. E.).

Origin: IE [Indo-European] [1039] * sueh₂d- `sweet'

Etymology: An exact formal counterpart is Skt. ἅπ. λεγ. svādate `become tasty(?)' (RV. 9, 68, 2; of soma); much more usual however is svadate, -ti `enjoy, taste well' resp. `make tasty, sweeten'. On -a- see Lubotsky, MSS 40 (1981) 133-8.

Ox. a.o.) Palmer Class Quart. 33,31ff.

Origin: IE [Indo-European] [463] * gʷeh₂- `go'

Etymology: In the same sense as πρόβατα we find once in collective meaning the verbal abstract πρόβασις (β 75 κειμήλιά τε πρό-βασίν τε), which designates here the moving cattle as opposed to the life-less ("lying") property. The origin from προβαίνειν (thus already EM) is confirmed by it. Thus OIcel. ganganda fé "going cattle" = `living stock' beside liggjanda fé ' κειμήλια', Hitt. ii̯ant- `sheep' prop. "the going", ptc. of ii̯a- `go', Toch. A śemäl `small cattle', prop. vbaladj. of käm-, śäm- `come' (= βαίνειν). Typical for Greek is however the prefix προ-; so πρόβατα prop. "those going forward", a notion, which seems to require an other way of moving as opposite, but has a correspondence in Av. fra-čar- and Skt. pra-car- `move forward' (opposed to `remain motionless'); s. Benveniste BSL 45, 91 ff. with extensive treatment and criticism of diverging views (Lommel KZ 46, 46ff.; s. also Kretschmer Glotta 8, 269 f.). -- The plural πρόβατα is usu., esp. because of the dat. pl. πρόβασι (Hdn.) for the usual προβατοις (Hes.), considered as orig. consonant-stem πρόβατ-α, to which secondarily πρόβατον (Bq s.v., Schwyzer 499 with Risch 178, Benveniste l.c., Egli Heteroklisie 41 ff.); against this with good arguments Georgacas Glotta 36, 178 ff., who rightly points to other infinite active το-participles, e.g. στατός `standing' (s. ἵστημι). -- In the secondary sense of `sheep' πρόβατον has replaced the older ὄις.

Compounds: As 1. member a.o. in πρῳηρότης m. `early plougher' (Hes.; like ὀψ-αρότης; s. ὀψέ); often in Thphr., e.g. πρωΐ-καρπος `with early fruit', comp. πρωϊκαρπό-τερος (s. Strömberg Theophrastea 162 f.).

Derivatives: Besides πρωί̄ (Il.), Att. πρῴ (πρῳ̃, πρῶϊ) `early, in the morning'. -- Comp. forms: πρωΐ- ( πρῴ-)τερος, - τατος, usu. (after παλαί-τερος a.o.), - αίτερος, - αίτατος (IA.). Other derivv.: πρώϊος, πρῳ̃ος `at an early time' (Ο 470), πρωΐα f. `early time, morning' (Aristeas, NT; after ὀψία); for it youngatt. πρώ-ϊμος (X., Arist., pap. a. inscr.; Arbenz 76: ὄψιμος; also πρό-ϊμος after πρό); hell. -ϊνός (Chantraine Form. 200f.); πρωϊζά Adv. `the day before yesterday' (Β 303, to πρώην after χθιζά), `very early' (Theoc. 18, 9; to πρωΐ); πρωΐθεν `from early in the morning' (LXX).

Origin: IE [Indo-European] [814] *prō `early, in the morning'

Etymology: Both πρώην and πρωΐ presuppose an adv. *πρώ, which agrees with OHG fruo `early in the morning' and is confirmed by Skt. prā-tár `early, in the morning'. Formally identical also Lat. prō `for, before', Av. frā `forward, in front' beside fra = πρό (s.v.). -- As example of πρώην, -ᾱν may have served frozen acc. like δήν, δά̄ν, πλήν, πλά̄ν, ἀκμήν, unless one sees in these an old adj. in fem. acc.; πρῴην after πρῴ. Thus πρω-ΐ after locatives like ἦρι, πέρυσι, ἀντί; basic forms as *πρωϜαν, *πρωϜιαν, *πρωϜι (thus still Mezger Word 2, 231) are unnecessary and cannot be subtsantiated. To πρωΐ the adjective πρώϊ-ος (= OHG fruoi ' früh'; so fruo = πρωΐ?), which, taken as πρώ-ϊος, induced πρώ-ϊμος, - ινός (s. ab.). -- Further details in Schwyzer 621 f. and 461; older lit. in Bq and WP. 2, 36 (Pok. 814).
