18 κνίψ
κνίψ, κνῑπόςGrammatical information: m.Meaning: name of unknown insects (acc. to Arist. Sens. 444b 12 small ants), that infest several trees and plants (Ar., Arist., Thphr., LXX).Compounds: As 1. member in κνιπο-λόγος m. name of a woodpecker, σκνιπο-φάγος `eating σκνῖπες' (Arist.).Derivatives: κνίπειος `belonging to a κνίψ' (Zos. Alch.). In remote or doubtful connection to κνίψ, σκνίψ there are several expressive, but in the literature only rarely found words, that indicate esp. niggardliness or different eye-diseases: κνιπός (AP), σκνιπός (Anon. in EN, H.), σκνιφός (Phryn.) `niggard'; with κνιπεύω `be niggardly' and κνιπεία (Doroth. Astrol.); further in the meaning `feeble-midedness etc.': κνιπός (Semon.), σκνιφός H., ὑπό-σκνιπος, - σκνιφος, - σχνιφος `slightly short-sighted' (pap.), κνιπά πτίλη H.; with κνιπότης `eye-inflammation' (Hp. Loc. Hom. 13, Erot.), κνιπόομαι `be inflamed, of the eyes' (H. in κεκνιπωμένοι), also `be infested with mildew, fire, of fruits' (H. ib.). Beside the names for eye-diseases etc. there are expressions for `dark': σκνιφαῖος (v. l. - παῖος) adjunt of ὁδίτης `who walks in the darkness ' (Theoc. 16, 93; after κνεφαῖος?), σκνῖφος τὸ σκότος H. - Further there are two denomin.: κνιπεῖν σείειν, ξύειν μέλαθρα καὶ δοκούς H. (prop. of the κνῖπες?), σκνίπτειν νύσσειν H.Origin: PG [a word of Pre-Greek origin]X [probably]Etymology: With κνίψ, σκνίψ rhyme θρίψ and ἴψ (s. vv.). Both ( σ)κνίψ and the words for `niggard' could go back to the idea of pinching and stinging (cf. σκνίπτω). Perh. the terms for weak-sight etc. might come from closing the eyes; or perh. from plant-diseases (caused by κνῖπες; s. κνιπόομαι). - One compares words for `pinching etc.' in Baltic and Germanic, e. g. Latv. kniêbt, knīpêt, MLDu. nipen; Pok. 562, Fraenkel Lit. et. Wb. s. kneĩbti. Wether they are real cognates, remains uncertain with these popular words. Cf. on - κναίω, κνίζω, κνύω. - Though the σ- could be an IE s-movable, the hole rather suggests a Pre-Greek word: very small animals, the long ῑ, the variation π\/φ; cf. the words cited.Page in Frisk: 1,885-886Greek-English etymological dictionary (Ελληνικά-Αγγλικά ετυμολογική λεξικό) > κνίψ

20 Κνίφων
Grammatical information: PN (Va, Meisterhans3 74).Other forms: younger Γνίφων m. prop. `Niggard'Origin: PG [a word of Pre-Greek origin]Etymology: Popular, expressive formation, cf. (attested late) κνιπός, σκνιπός, σκνιφός `niggard, mean' to κνίψ etc. (s. v.); Γνίφων has like γνάπτω a secondary anlaut-weakening (diff. Schwyzer 414). For Γνίφων it is easy to find agreeing words, e. g. Lith. gnýbu, MLG knīpen `kneifen', ONo. knīfr `knife' (Pok. 370f.). Hdn. Gr. 2, 949 cites without explanation κνίφω, - ιάω. - The variants cited rather point to a Pre-Greek word.Page in Frisk: 1,885Greek-English etymological dictionary (Ελληνικά-Αγγλικά ετυμολογική λεξικό) > Κνίφων
