Grammatical information: m.

Meaning: `kind of oak' (Thphr.), also `haver-grass' (Thphr.); also `ulcer in the eye, lacrymal fistula' for which see ἀγχίλωψ. For the meaning s. Strömberg Pflanzennamen 87.

Origin: XX [etym. unknown]

Etymology: As name of an oak derived from * aig- Pok. 13 (seen in αἰγανέη and αἴγειρος?). Kretschmer Glotta 3, 335 connected - λωψ with λώπη `cork' (cf. λώψ χλαμύς H.) adducing Pliny ( Hist. nat. 16, 6, 13): aegilops fert pannos arentes... non in cortice modo, verum et e ramis dependentes. The whole rather doubtful. - Strömberg Pflanzennamen 137 derives αἰγίλωψ in the second meaning from αἴγιλος `haver-grass' (Theoc.), which is certainly correct.

Grammatical information: f.

Meaning: kind of oak, `Quercus Cerris' (Thphr.)

Origin: XX [etym. unknown]

Etymology: Unexplained. Not to OHG. aspa `asp' (Hoops Waldbäume 122), as this had originally - ps-; and the -r- would remain unexplained. Hubschmid, Sard. Stud. 98, compares Basque tšapaŕ `oak', but this does not fit well.

aegĭlops, ōpis, and aegĭlōpa, ae, f., = aigilôps.

A disease of the eyes, a lachrymal fistula, a tumor in the inner corner of the eye (so called from aix, aigos, goat, and ôps, eye, since goats are most subject to this disease), Cels. 7, 7, 7; Plin. 35, 6, 14, § 34;

the form aegilopa,

id. 21, 19, 77, § 132. —

A kind of oak with edible acorns:

Quercus aegilops, Linn.,

Plin. 16, 6, 8, § 22; 16, 8, 13, § 33.—

Avena sterilis, Linn., or Aegilops ovata, Linn.,

Plin. 25, 13, 93, § 146; 18, 17, 44, § 155.—

A kind of bulbous plant, Plin. 19, 5, 30, § 95 (Sillig, aegilipa).

Grammatical information: f. (late also m.).

Meaning: `herling, unripe sour bunch of grapes' (η 125), also of olives (Poll.); metaph. of a younge girl, an undeveloped nipple etc. (poet.).

Derivatives: 1. ὀμφάκιον n. `juice of unripe grapes or olives' (Hp., pap.); 2. ὀμφακίς, - ίδος f. `cup of a certain kind of oak' (Paul. Aeg.; because of the contracting astringent taste); 3. ὀμφακ-ίας ( οἶνος) m. `herling wine' (Gal.), metaph. = `sour, unripe' (Ar., Luc.; cf. Chantraine Form. 94 f.); - ίτης ( οἶνος) m. `id.', also name of a stone (Gal.; codd. - τίτης), - ῖτις f. of ἐλαίη (Hp.), `kind of oakapple' (Dsc., Gal.; Redard 58, 98, 75, 114); 4. ὀμφακώδης 'ὄ.-like' (Hp., Arist.), - ινος `made of ὄ.' (Hp., pap.), - ηρὰ ( ἀγγεῖα) n. pl. `vessels for ὄ.' (medic., pap.); 5. ὀμφακίζω 'to be ὄ., i.e. sour, unripe', also of other fruits (LXX, Dsc.), - ίζομαι `to pick sour wine grapes' (Epich.).

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

Etymology: Unexplained, perh. a foreign word (cf. Chantraine Form. 377). On itself ὄμφ-αξ could come from an unattested *ὀμφων ( = Lat. umbō etc.; s. ὀμφαλός); the semantic explanation "navellike knob" (WP. 1, 130, Pok. 315, similar Grošelj Živa Ant. 2, 21 3 f. with wrong further conclusions) can hardly be considered as convincing. Another, certainly wrong explanation in Curtius 294. -- Wrong also Lagercrantz KZ 35, 285ff. (s. Bq). - Furnée 341 connects ἀμφίας `a bad Sicilian wine' and ἀμφής οἴνου ἄνθος. οἱ δε μέλανα οἶνον H. The variation would point to Pre-Greek. (The suffix - αξ is typically Pre-Greek.)
