10 μείρομαι
Grammatical information: v.Meaning: `get as share' (I 616), `divide' (Arat. 1054).Other forms: perf. act. 3. sg. ἔμμορε `got as share' (Il.), 3. pl. ἐμμόραντι τετεύχασι H., later also ἔμμορες, - ον (A. R., Nic.; s. below), μεμόρηκα (Nic.); perf. a. ppf. 3. sg. εἵμαρται, - το `is (was) decided by fate' (Il.), ptc., esp. in fem. εἱμαρμένη `fate' (IA.); Aeol. ἐμμόρμενον (Alc.), Dor. ἔμβραται εἵμαρται, ἐμβραμένα εἱμαρμένη H.; also (through innovation) βεβραμένων εἱμαρμένων H., μεμόρ-ηται, - ημένος (Man., AP).Compounds: Also with ἀπο- (Hes. Op. 578), ἐπι- (Vett.Val. 346, 6). As 2. member e.g. in κάμ-μορος ( κά-σμορος), ἤ-μορος; s. v.Derivatives: Several derivv., which however mostly have an independent position as opposed to the disappearing verb 1. μέρος n. `share etc.', s. v. -- 2. μόρος m. `fate, (fate of) death, violent death' (Il.; cf. Leumann Hom. Wörter 305 m. n. 75), `share, share of ground', also as land-measure (Mytilene, Western Locris). Diminut. of this μόριον n. `share, part, member of the body' (IA.), math. `fraction, denominator' with μοριασμός, - στικός (: *μοριάζω; Ptol., sch.), further the adj. μόριμος `by fate destined' (Y 302, Pi., A.), μόριος `belonging to de deathfate' (AP), prob. also μορίαι ( ἐλαῖαι), s. v., μορόεις `deathly' (Nic.). --3. μόρα f. name of a Lacon. section of troops (X.; on the accent Chantraine Form. 20). -- 4. μοῖρα f. `part, piece, piece of ground, share, degree, fate, (evil or good) fate, death-fate', also personified `goddess of fate' (Il.); compp., e.g. μοιρη-γενής `fate-, child of happiness' (Γ182; s. Bechtel Lex. s. v., v. Wilamowitz Glaube 1, 362; - η- anal.-metr. lengthening), εὔ-μοιρος `favoured' (B., Pl.). From this μοιρ-άδιος `destined by fate' (S. OC 228 cod. Laur.), - ίδιος `id.' (Pi., S.), - αῖος `belonging to fate' (Man.), - ιαῖος `measuring a degree' (Ptol., Procl.). - ικός, - ικῶς `acc. to degree' (Ptol., Vett.Val.); μοιρίς f. `half' (Nic.); μοιρ-άομαι, - αω `divide, be awarded one's share, share' (A., A. R.), - άζω = - άω (Anon. in Rh.). On μοῖρα and μόρος in gen. Nilsson Gr. Rel. 1, 361ff. -- 5. μορτή, Dor. - τά `share of the farmer' (Poll., Eust., H.). -- 6. μόρσιμος `destined by fate'; s. v.Etymology: The perfectforms Aeol. ἔμμορε (later taken as aor. 2, whence ἔμμορες, - ον) and Ion. εἵμαρται can be explained from *sé-smor-e resp. *sé-smr̥-tai (Schwyzer 769, Chantraine Gramm. hom. 1, 174 f., 184); here the full grade yot-present μείρομαι \< *smér-i̯o-mai (Schw. 715); cf. e.g. φθείρω: ἔφθορα: ἔφθαρμαι. Init. sm- is seen also elsewhere, e.g. ἄ-μμορος, κατὰ μμοῖραν. -- Corresponding forms are nowhere found. Cognate may be the diff. built Lat. mereō, - ēre, - eor, - ērī `earn, acquire' (prop. *'get your share, acquire'?), which may also have sm- and may be identical with the yot-present in μείρομαι. Uncertain is the meaning of Hitt. marriya- ('break in pieces, make small'?), cf. Benveniste BSL 33, 140, Kronasser Studies Whatmough 122; we would have to assume an s-less variant. Hypothetic is the connection with the group of μέριμνα (Solmsen Wortforsch. 40 f. WP. 2, 690, Pok. 970, W.-Hofmann s. mereō. -- Of the nominal derivv. only μοῖρα requires a special explanation: one may start as well from an ο-stem μόρος as from an older consonant-stem *μορ- (Schwyzer 474). The o-vowel could be an Aeolic zero grade.Page in Frisk: 2,196-197Greek-English etymological dictionary (Ελληνικά-Αγγλικά ετυμολογική λεξικό) > μείρομαι
