Grammatical information: adj.Meaning: `good, brave, (in war) strong' (ep. Il.), only of men, never in fem. (s. Treu Von Homer zur Lyrik 37ff.); ntr. ἐΰ, εὖ `good' (A., E.), mostly as adverb `well' (Il.).Other forms: also ἠΰς, ἠΰ (s. below), gen. sg. ἐῆος, ἑ-, gen. pl. n. ἐά̄ων (at verse-end, e. g. δωτῆρες ἐάων θ 325)Dialectal forms: Myc. names with eu-, e.g. Eumene \/Eumenēs\/.Compounds: Very often as 1. member, both adject. and adverbial.Derivatives: ἐυτής (cod. ἐητής) ἀγαθότης H.; on the accent Wackernagel-Debrunner Philol. 95, 177. - Note further ἠέα αγαθά H.Etymology: The Greek forms present several problems. As for ἠΰς beside ἐΰς, old ablaut (Schulze Q. 33ff.) is very improbable, it must prob. be connected with metrics ( ἠΰς mostly in expressions at the end of the verse; Schwyzer IF 38, 159ff.); analogical introduction of the length from compounds, e. g. ἠΰ-κομος, where metrical lengthening was necessary, is certainly possible (cf. Leumann Hom. Wörter 317 n. 107). Metrical lengthening can also be assumed in ἐῆος for *ἐέος; often ἑῆος (so mostly the mss.) seems to stand for *ἑῆο = *ἑεῖο, *ἑέο `sui', from ε῝, ἑέ `se' (s. v.); cf. ἐμεῖο = ἐμέο from ἐμέ. The comparison of ἐυ- with Skt. su- points to * h₁su-. One should compare Hitt. aššuš `good, useful, pleasant', n. `good, possession, prosperity' (Friedrich IF 41, 370ff.; further Hier.-Hitt. wa-su(-u), with w- added?; Kronasser Μνημης χάριν 1, 201). On the one hand Skt. vásu-, Av. vohu- `good', with further Gaulish PN like Bello-vēsus and Ir. feb f. `eminence', and Illyr. gen. Ves-cleveses (cf. Εὑ-κλέης, Skt. vásu-śravas-). Further the expression δωτῆρες, δῶτορ ἐάων (ritual formula?, Shipp Studies 24) has a pendant in Skt. dātā́ vásūnām (beside dā́tā vásu [acc.]. Certain traces of digamma fail ( ἕτερος δε ἐάων Ω 528 is young). We must also reckon with merger of IE * esu- and *u̯esu-. - See Schwyzer 432 n. 8, 433 n. 1, 476: 7, 574 κ; also Chantraine Gramm. hom. 1, 201; 254; 274. - S. also ὑγιής, where the laryngeal will have been lost in the compound. - Hoffmann, (1975\/6) 593-604 suggests that ἑηος continues hysterodynamic *h₁u̯esu̯-os.Page in Frisk: 1,594-595Greek-English etymological dictionary (Ελληνικά-Αγγλικά ετυμολογική λεξικό) > ἐύς
