2 ἀλώπηξ
ἀλώπηξ, - εκοςGrammatical information: f. (on the gender DELG).Meaning: `fox' (Archil.).Other forms: A shortened form is ἀλωπά (Alc.), ἀλωπός (Hdn.); on its origin Sommer Nominalkomp. 5 A. 5. Denom. ἀλωπεύει ἀνιχνεύει H., cf. NGr. (Crete) λαγονεύω `trace' from λαγώς, Kukules Άρχ. Έφ. 27, 70f.Derivatives: ἀλωπεκέη, -ῆ `fox-skin' (Hdt.); ἀλωπεκία a disease of the skin (Arist.); ἀλωπεκίς f. = κυναλώπηξ (X.), also `head-gear from fox-skin' (X.) and `kind of vine' (Plin.), s. Strömberg Pflanzennamen 139Etymology: ἀλώπηξ can agree with Arm. aɫuēs, gen. - esu `fox'. Cf. further Lith. lãpė and Latv. lapsa. Schrijver, JIES 26, 1998, 421-434 connects the Celtic words W. llywarn etc., which he derives from * lop-erno-, and reconstructs * h₂lop-. The Greek long ō is explained from an old nom. * h₂lōp-s. (Skt. lopāśá- `jackal' and MP rōpās `fox' have an orig. diphthong in the root and cannot be connected. Lat. volpes `fox', Lith. vilpišỹs `wild cat' should also be kept apart; Schrijver starts from a root * ulp-). - The inflection ἀλώπηξ, - εκος is unique in Greek. There is no support for Rix's - ōk-s, - ek-os (1976,, 143). In the Armenian form, the ē presents difficulties and is prob. secondary, the word rather showing old short e; Clackson 1994, 95. De Vaan, IIJ 43, 2000, 279-293, disconnects the suffix from the Indo-Ir. one (as above the words were disconnected) and doubts that Skt. -āśa- etc. is of IE origin. He follows Chantr. Form. 376, in assuming that the Greek (and Armenian) suffix - ek- was taken from a non-IE language; Greek would have lengthened the vowel in the nominative. But this does not explain the Greek ablaut: one would expect that the long vowel was introduced everywhere. Rather the suffixes are IE, and the long vowel of Saskrit and the short of Armenian confirm the Greek ablaut as archaic. - See also Blažek, Linguistica Baltica 7, 1998, 25-31. Cf.

3 ἐνηής
Grammatical information: adj.Meaning: `mild, soft, benevolent' (IG 14, 1648, 8; metrical tomb-inscription)Derivatives: ἐνηείη `mildness, benevolence' (Ρ 670, Opp.).Origin: IE [Indo-European] [77] *h₂eu̯- `benevolence, help'Etymology: Uncertain. Formations like ἐν-τελής (to τέλος) point to a second member *ἦος, which can be PGr. *ἆϜος, which differs only in ablaut from Skt. ávas-, Av. avah- n. `favour, benevolence, help' (to which belongs also Lat. aveō etc.); so ἐνηής is prop. `having benevolence' (cf. Schwyzer-Debrunner 456). For the ablaut cf. ἄγος beside Skt. ā́gas- (compositional lengthening?).

6 μῖμος

Rh. in lyr., D., Plu., pap.), kind of scenic sketch, founded by the Syracusan Sophron, `mimus' (Arist.).Compounds: Compp., e. g. μιμο-γράφος `mime-writer' (hell.), λογό- μιμος m. "spoken mime", `actor or writer of...' (Hegesand. Hist.), ἀρχί-μιμος m. `chief comedian' (plur.); as 2, member mostly verbal to μιμέομαι, e.g. γυναικό-μιμος `imitating women' (trag.).Derivatives: μιμάς, - άδος f. `mimic player (female)' (Ael.), μιμώ f. `ape' (Suid. s. πίθηκος), μιμ(ε)ία f. `farce' (Ph.), μιμικός `regarding the μῖμος, mimic' (hell.). -- Besides, prob. as denomin., μιμέομαι, μιμήσασθαι, also w. prefix, e.g. ἀπο-, ἐκ-, `imitate, mimic, (in art) copy' (h.

Schwyzer 423). The connection with Skt. māyā f. `magic(image), illusion, deception' assuming an ablaut māi: mī (Schulze KZ 27, 425 = Kl.

7 ὄργυια
Grammatical information: f.Meaning: `fathom' (Ψ 327).Compounds: As 2. member beside regelar and usual - όργυιος (λ 312) also δεκ-ώρυγος `ten fathoms long' a.o. (X. Kyn. 2,5) with comp. length. and remarkable metathesis (cf. - ώνυμος).Derivatives: ὀργυι-αῖος (AP), - όεις (Nic.), `a fathom long or wide', - όομαι in ( δι-, περι-)ωργυιωμένος `outstretched (a fathom wide)' (Ctes., Hipparch., Lyc.).Origin: PG [a word of Pre-Greek origin]Etymology: Subst. ptc. without reuplucation like ἄγυια, ἅρπυια (s. vv. w. lit.) a.o., from ὀρέγω (- ομαι? Fraenkel Glotta 32, 18) `stretch (the arms)' with vowel syncope conditioned by the oxytonesis (or ablaut): ὀρόγυια (assim. from *ὀρέγυια?): ὀργυιᾶς, - αί; s. Schwyzer 255f., 381 a. 474 w. lit., also (on the meaning) 541 n. 5. Older lit. in Bq and WP. 2, 363. - The explanation as a perfect ptc. is rather difficult, both formally and semantic; for the old interpretation see Beekes Devel. 27f. Also the supposed archaic ablaut ὄργυια - ὀρόγυια is problematic; rather one thinks the o was anaptyctic, as Chantraine says in DELG ("semble secondaire"); anaptyxis is frequent in Pre-Greek (Furnée 378-385, esp. 381f.). The enaptyxis could also take the form - ορυγ- [from Pre-Greek *αρυγ-?], which explains the compound form - ωρυγ-, and the transition to - υος (Chantraine). Now that ἄγυια has proved to be a Pre-Greek word, this must also be assumed for our word.

Windekens Orbis 12, 193 with Couvreur Arch. Or. 18, 128). Besides in Indo-Iran. with lengthened grade Skt. chāyā́ f. `shadow', also `image, reflex, semblance', NPers. sāya `shadow' (Av. a-saya- `who throws no shadow': ἄ-σκιος) and with unclear basis Latv. sejs `id.' (Endzelin Zeitschr. slav. Phil. 16, 113f.). The word was orig. inflected with ablaut, approx. * skeh₁ieh₂, gen. * skh₁ieh₂-s (cf. on γλῶσσα). The assumption of IE ā[i]: i was based only on the connection with σκηνή, Dor. σκᾱνά̄ `tent', which is however improbable. -- An n-suffix is seen in Slavic, e.g. OCS sěnь, Russ. sénь f. `shadow' with uncertain vowel (IE ē, oi, ai, ǝi), thus after Jokl a. o. in the very complicated Alban. forms, e.g. hē, (h)ona; to this with r-n-change σκιερός, σκιαρός (Benveniste Origines 14).

Lubotsky however, Incontri lingu. 24 (2001), 34f. is not certains about the evidence for h₁, and starts from the oblique cases * skH-ieh₂-, which became *skHii̯- with Sievers, and * skiH-eh₂- with metathesis; this may have been the basis of the Greek form.Page in Frisk: 2,730-731Greek-English etymological dictionary (Ελληνικά-Αγγλικά ετυμολογική λεξικό) > σκια

One compares Germanic forms, OHG. geruohhen, OS. rōkjan, ONo. rø̄kja etc. `care for', Dutch roekeloos `without care' (with old ō).

Other glosses ἀρμόγαλα τὰ ἀρτύματα. Ταραντῖνοι (in wrong place) and ἀρμώμαλα (read - ματα?) may contain mistakes.

16 αὔξω
Grammatical information: v.Other forms: ἀέξω (Il.), αὐξάνω (Ion.-Att.), aor. αὐξῆσαι. [Unhappily, αὔξω and αὐξάνω are not treated separately in LSJ.]Derivatives: αὔξησις (ion. att.). - αὐξίς, - ίδος f. `young of the tunny' (Phryn. Com.; Strömberg Fischnamen 127).Etymology: PIE root * h₂eug-, h₂ueg- with -s- (prob. in origin only pres.). Without -s- we have Lat. augeo, Goth. aukan, Lith. áugti `wachsen' (acute through the -g-, Winter's Law). s-stem in Lat. augus-tus, Skt. ójas- n. `strength'. Toch. B auks-, A oks- `grow', perhaps in Lat. auxilia n. pl. `reinforcements', Lith. áukštas `high'. * h₂weg- in Germ., e. g. Goth. wahsjan, Skt. vakṣáyati `make grow', Av. vaxš- `id'. Perhaps Lat. vegeo is the s-less form (with long vowel Skt. vā́ja- m. `strength', Goth. wokrs m. `gain, interest'), for which Iranian, e.g. OP vazraka- `big', shows palatal ǵ (depalat. after u ?). Zero grade * ug-s- in Skt. pres. ptc. úkṣant-, ukṣámāṇa- and Av. pres. uxšyeiti `grows'; without -s Skt. and Av. ugrá- `big, stong'. - On the ablaut cf. ἀλκ-ή: ἀλέξ-ω.Page in Frisk: 1,187-188Greek-English etymological dictionary (Ελληνικά-Αγγλικά ετυμολογική λεξικό) > αὔξω

17 ἄφενος
Grammatical information: n.Other forms: m. (after πλοῦτος, Fehrle Phil Woch. 46, 700f).Compounds: εὐηφενής (Il.; the better attested v. l. εὐηγενής is hardly correct; Bechtel, Lex.); also in the PN Δι-, Κλε-, Τιμ-αφένης.Derivatives: (with loss of vowel and remarkable final stress) ἀφνειός (Il.), later ἀφνεός `rich' (Il.). From here retrograde ἄφνος n. (Pi. Fr. 219).Etymology: Uncertain. The connection with Skt. ápnas- n. `possessions, riches' (Bréal MSL 13, 382f.; cf. ὄμπνη; also Pisani Ist. Lomb. 73, 515) is now generally rejected (also as * apsnos). - The word was one of the corner stones of the Pelasgian theory, which can now be abandoned (also Heubeck's variant, the Minoan-Minyan language: Praegraeca 70). The agreement with Hitt. happina(nt)- `rich', is remarkable. The postulated verb hap-(zi) is improbable (Puhvel HED 3, 124f). The Hittite word could be IE (Szemerényi Glotta 33, 1954, 275 - 282). Puhvel's h₁op- is impossible ( h₁- disappears in Hittite); but Lat. opulentus \< * op-en-ent- is improbable: - ulentus is a frequent suffix in Latin, and - ant is very productive in Hittite so that it cannot be projected back into PIE; with it disappears the explanation of - ulentus (I also doubt the dissmilation n - nt, with t after the second n; there are other difficulties in the theory, as the author indicated); the - en- has no clear function and is not found elsewhere after op-; thus the connection of opulentus with the Hittite word disappears. - Irene Balles (HS 110, 1997) starts from *n̥-gʷʰn-o-, parallel to - io- in Skt. ághnyā- `(the valuable animal which is) not to be killed'. (She explains the adj., and the accent, from *n̥gʷʰn-es-o- \> ἀφνεό-, with metrical lengthening in Homer). But she has to explain the full grade from analogy after σθένος, which is improbable; the whole construction is not convincing. - The Greek word is rather IE (cf. archaic εὐηφενής). For Greek a root * h₂bʰen- is the obvious reconstruction. The accent and the form ἀφνεός may be explained following Balles: *h₂bʰnes-ó-, with ablaut as in ἄλγος - ἀλεγεινός (metr. lengthening in Homer is probable as *ἀφνεοιο is impossible in the hexameter and *ἀφνεος, -ν etc. are difficult). Thus the word seem perfectly IE. It cannot be connected with the Hittite word (reading *ḫpina- is doubtful). A loan from Anatolian would have κ-, the φ would be unclear, the s-stem, and the adjective.Page in Frisk: 1,195Greek-English etymological dictionary (Ελληνικά-Αγγλικά ετυμολογική λεξικό) > ἄφενος

18 βλαστάνω
Grammatical information: v.Meaning: `but, sprout, grow' (A.),Other forms: Aor. βλαστεῖν, intr. fut. βλαστήσω (Thphr.), aor. trans. ἐβλάστησα (Emp.), perf. βεβλάστηκα (Hp.), ἐβλάστηκα (E.); recent βλαστέω, βλαστάω.Derivatives: βλάστημα `offdhoot' (A.), βλαστικός (Thphr.); deverb. βλαστός `id.' (Hdt.), βλάστη `origin' (S.). from where βλαστέω (Thphr.).Origin: XX [etym. unknown]Etymology: The aorist βλαστεῖν is the basis of all forms. Its analysis is uncertain; perhaps *βλαθ-τεῖν ( βλαδ-, βλατ-). Connection with βλωθρός `tall' (q. v.) is impossible if the words are IE (*ml̥dh-, *mlōdh-: ablaut ō is impossible in an adj.); same for μολεύω `cut off (and transplant) the shoots of trees' (q. v. and βλώσκω). From other languages one mentions OHG. blat etc.`leaf' (but this is rather non-IE).Page in Frisk: 1,241Greek-English etymological dictionary (Ελληνικά-Αγγλικά ετυμολογική λεξικό) > βλαστάνω

(cf. Sommer Nominalkomp. 139, to ἦρα?; against Hoffmann Glotta 28, 23f.). Βρίακχος `Bacchante' (S.) with ἰάχω, Ἴακχος.Derivatives: Adj. βριαρός `strong' (Il.) (cf. χαλαρός beside χαλί-φρων). Verb βριάω `be or make strong, mighty' (Hes.; cf. χαλάω) backformation from βριαρός? s. Schwyzer 682f., Bechtel a. a. O; also βριερός. For Βριάρεως, a giant with hundred arms (Il.), in Hes. Ο᾽βριάρεως, the interpretation `who causes much damage (ἀρή)' (Bechtel, Lex.) is most uncertain; much more probably it is a Pre-Gr. name, Fur. 168 n. 103. - With θ: βρί̄θω, (βέβρῑθα, βρῖσαι) `be laden with, full of' (Il); βρῑθύς `heavy(?)'

S. also βρίζω and ὕβρις.Origin: PG [a word of Pre-Greek origin]Etymology: The idea of an `ablaut' ī\/ia must be given up; such cases have appeared to continue -ih₂-\/-ih₂-e. So βριαρός could be * gʷrih₂-eros. (There can be no derivational system i\/ro in these words; nor is a form *βριαρ probable, as Benveniste supposed, Origines 15.) The connection with βαρύς has also become very doubtful: βαρύς continues * gʷrH-u-, and * gʷrH-iH- would have given *βαρῑ-; possible would be * gʷr-iH-, from a root without laryngeal, but the only evidence for such a root would be Skt. grī-ṣmá- m. `Hochsommer', if *`die Zeit des heftigen, starken Sommers' (Wackernagel KZ 61, 197f., with sámā `(half)year', Av. ham- `summer' - but these derive from * smH-, which would make difficulty), but this analysis is quite uncertain (a meaning `heavy; does not seem appropriate). - (That Lat. (Osc.-Umbr.) brūtus = Latv. grũts `heavy' is a parallel ū-enlargement is even more doubtful.) - The - θ- can be the enlargement indicating a state (Benveniste, Origines 190).- As Fur. (168 n. 104, 174 n. 122, 246f) remarks the words refer more to `big, strong, χαλεπός' than to 'heavy'. The connection to βριμός (s. βρίμη) therefore seems evident. As βρῑμ- is very probable related to ὄβριμος (cf. ὀβριάρεως), we have to do with a Pre-Greek word (Fur. index).
