Med., Plin.); - δακτύλιος m. (- ον n.) `(finger)ring' (Sapph., Hdt.) with dimin. δακτυλίδιον (Delos IIIa, pap.), also δακτυλίδριον, - ίδρυον (pap., from - ύδριον [Chantr. Form. 72f.] dissimilated), δακτύληθρον (Them.; cf. Chantr. 373), δακτυλήθρα `glove with fingers' (X., Chantr. l.c.); - δακτυλῖτις plant name (Dsc.; after the root like a finger, Strömberg Pflanzennamen 37, Redard Les noms grecs en - της 70), δακτυλεύς name of a sea-fish (Ath.; Boßhardt Die Nomina auf - ευς 84f.). - Adj.: δακτυλ-ιαῖος `broad as a finger' (Hp.), δακτυλικός `belonging to the finger' (Ath.), δακτυλωτός `with fingers' (Ion.). - Denomin. δακτυλίζω `count with the fingers etc.' (H.) with δακτυλιστής (pap.) unknown profession.Origin: PG [a word of Pre-Greek origin]Etymology: No etymology.

Lat. digitus is also unclear. *δατκ-υλ- looks perfectly Pre-Greek: - κτ-, vowels α and υ.Page in Frisk: 1,344-345Greek-English etymological dictionary (Ελληνικά-Αγγλικά ετυμολογική λεξικό) > δάκτυλος 1

Grammatical information: n.Meaning: `hip-joint, haunches' (Il.).Compounds: As 2. member e. g. in ἐξ-ίσχιος `standing out from the h.' (Hp.), εὑ-ίσχιος `with beautiful h.' (hell. poetry).Derivatives: Dimin. ἰσχάριον (Hero); ἰσχιακός `belonging to the h.' (Thphr.); ἰσχιάς, - άδος f. (sc. νόσος) `pain in the h.' (Hp.) with ἰσχιαδικός (medic.), as plant-name = λευκάκανθα (Dsc., as remedy against ἰσχιάς, Strömberg Theophrastea 194); ἰσχίᾱσις = ἰσχιάς (medic.; as if from *ἰσχιάω, Schwyzer 505 and 732); denomin. verb ἰσχιάζω ( ἰσχιάδδειν H.; Lac.) `bend the h.' (Prokop., Suid., Phot., H.; uncertain Gal. 18 [1] 786).Origin: PG [a word of Pre-Greek origin]Etymology: No etym. - If ἴσχι ὀσφύς H. is correct, the formation agrees with ἄλφι, μέλι and Skt. names for parts of he body like sákthi `thigh-bone', ásthi `bone' [but these prob. have -i \< -H].

103 καπνός
Grammatical information: m.Meaning: `smoke, steam' (Il.).Dialectal forms: Myc. ka-pi-ni-ja.Compounds: Compp., e. g. καπνο-δόκη ` flue (of a chimney' (IA.), δύσ-καπνος ` with an unpleasant smoke' (A., Thphr.).Derivatives: Subst. 1. κάπνη (Com.), short form of καπνοδόκη; also = καπνιαῖος λίθος ( PHolm.; s. below); 2. καπνία for κάπνη (Moer. 292, Gloss.; cf. Scheller Oxytonierung 56); 3. καπνίας m. name a) of a wine, that got a special taste from smoke (Com.), b) a kind of jasper, = καπνίτης, from the colour (Dsc., Plin.), c) of the poet Ekphantides (Ar. V. 151; ` διὰ τὸ μηδεν λαμπρὸν γράφειν' H.). 4. καπνίτης m. name of a stone, from the colour (Alex. Trall.; Redard Les noms grecs en - της 55), καπνῖτις f. plant name, `fumitory, Fumaria officinalis', from the smoke-coloured leaves (Ps.-Dsc.), also called κάπνιος and καπνός (Strömberg Pflanzennamen 27, Redard 72). - Adject. 5. κάπνε(ι)ος (sc. ἄμπελος) f. `vine with smoke-coloured grapes' (Arist., Thphr., pap.); 6. καπνώδης `smokey, smoke-coloured' (Arist., Thphr., Plb.); 7. καπνηλός ` smoke-like' (Nic.

(Priene); 2. καπνόομαι `vanish into smoke' (Pi., E.); 3. καπνιάω `smoke a bee-hive' (A. R. 2, 131), after θυμιάω; 4. καπνείω `let vanish into smoke, burn' (Nic. Th. 36). - Beside καπνός there is an aorist ἀπὸ ( δε ψυχην) ἐκάπυσσεν `breathe forth' (Χ 467; κάπυσσεν Q. S. 6, 523), with the present καπύσσων ἐκπνέων H.; the supposed basis seems preserved in κάπυς πνεῦμα H. (also κάπος ψυχή, πνεῦμα). Uncertain is the gloss, given in the wrong place, καπυκτά πνέοντα H.; connected with καπύσσων?, cf ἀλύω (s.v.) with ἀλύσσω s. The stem with υ- also in καπυρός `dry etc.', s. v.; uncertain is κέκηφε τέθνηκε H., κεκαφηότα (Hom.), s. v.Origin: PG [a word of Pre-Greek origin]Etymology: An original *κϜαπ-νός (see Schwyzer 302; and s. below), but note that Myc. does not have a w, agrees with Lith. kvãpas `breath, smell'; beside it with ē-vowel kvėpiù,kvẽpti `gasp, breathe', Latv. kvêpstu, kvêpt `smoke, smell'; καπνός a. cogn. then seem to go back on IE. ku̯ep-. An old question is whether Lat. vapor `vapour, smoke' with v- for expected qu- is cognate. On the other hand Russ. kópotь `fine soot, dust' etc. presents a u̯-less form, which cannot be explained from Slavic. Finally Germ., e. g. Goth. af- ƕapjan `suffocate, extinguish', af- ƕapnan `extinguish' show a root-final p for f (b). "Man hat somit in den verschiedenen Sprachen mit zahlreichen, nicht unerwarteten Entgleisungen zu rechnen. (Frisk)" - More forms in Pok. 596f.; cf. W.-Hofmann s. vapor, Fraenkel Lit. et. Wb. s. kvẽpti, Vasmer Russ. et. Wb. s. kópotь. S. also Bq. - Schrijver (Laryng. in Latin, 260f.) assumed a laryngeal for Latvian, and posited * kuh₂ep-, a rare type that is perhaps impossible; also it is uncertain that this gave *κϜαπ-. IE origin, then, is improbable. * kap- is unprobelematic for Pre-Greek; an u-stem ( κάπυς) is frequent in Pre-Greek (s. Heubeck, Praegraeca 31-39), as is a suffix n- after consonant (Beekes, Pre-Greek, Suffixes). The Baltic (and Slavic) forms, and Lat. vapor are unclear, and may come form a substr. language. (I do not assume * kʷap-, as this would give *κ(ϝ)οπ-, cf. ἄλοξ, καλαῦροψ.)Page in Frisk: 1,781-782Greek-English etymological dictionary (Ελληνικά-Αγγλικά ετυμολογική λεξικό) > καπνός

104 κρόσσαι
Grammatical information: f. pl.Meaning: `stepped copings of parapets' (M 258, 444), `courses, steps of the pyramids' (Hdt. 2, 125); πρό-κροσσοι `ranged in rows, ranks' (Ξ 35, Hdt.).Compounds: κροσσοί m. pl. `tassels, fringe' (Gal., Poll., H.); δί-κροσσος `double bordered' (Poll., EM) mit δικρόσσια n. pl. (Peripl. M. Rubr.).Derivatives: Diminut. κροσσίον (Hdn.); also as plant-name (Ps.-Dsc.); also κροσσωτός `with fringes' (LXX, Lyc., Plu.), `with steps' (Lyc. 291?; v. l. κορσ-).Origin: XX [etym. unknown]Etymology: Technical expression of unknown origin. Since Bezzenberger BB 12, 239 and Trautmann Balt.-slav. Wb. 139 κρόσσαι from *κροκ-ι̯αι is connected with some Balto-Slavic words for `bar, rod, rafters', e.g. Lith. krãkė `rod, staff' (formally = κρόσσα), krẽklas `rafters', Russ. krókva `bar, club, rafters' (old u-stem); MHG ragen `rise up, stand out' (Zupitza Die germ. Gutt. 122) can be explained in diff. ways. More forms in Pok. 619, Fraenkel Wb. and Vasmer Wb. s. vv. - Compared with the rare and late κροσσοί κροσσωτός, which seems derived from it, is attested much earlier and better. It is therefore suggested that κροσσωτός (and δίκροσσοι with δικρόσσια?) were formed to κρόσσαι (after θυσανωτός; cf. also κνισωτός: κνίση etc.) with transfer from architecture to tailor-work; from there again as backformation the formally difficult κροσσοί. Or comes the expression originally from weaving, to κρόξ, κρόκ-η `woof-thread' (s. κρέκω)? - Fur. 257 connects κόρση (?).Page in Frisk: 2,25Greek-English etymological dictionary (Ελληνικά-Αγγλικά ετυμολογική λεξικό) > κρόσσαι

105 ὄρτυξ
Grammatical information: m. (f. Lyc. 401)Meaning: `quail, Coturnix vulgaris' (Epich., IA.); also as a plant-name = στελέφουρος, `Plantago Lagopus' (Thphr.), cf. Strömberg Theophrastea 50.Compounds: As 1. member a.o. in ὀρτυγο-μήτρα f. "quail-mother", `corncrake, Rallux crex' (Cratin., Arist., LXX), after H. = ὄρτυξ ὑπερμεγέθης; s. Thompson Birds s.v., also Strömberg Wortstud. 23; as 2. member in φιλ-όρτυξ `quail-loving' (Pl. Ly. 212d).Derivatives: Dimin. ὀρτύγιον n. (com.); Όρτυγία, - ίη f. old name of the island Delos and other islands (Od., Str.; Tréheux BCH 70, 560ff.), after that surname of Artemis (S.); patron. Όρτυγίων (Euboea).Origin: IE [Indo-European] [1180] *u̯ort- `quail'; PGX [probably a word of Pre-Greek origin]Etymology: Formed like the rare birdnames ἴβυξ, βαῖβυξ; cf. also κόκκῡξ, πτέρυξ a.o. (Chantraine Form. 397, Schwyzer 498). With Ϝόρτυξ agrees except the ending Skt. (Ved.) vártikā f., later attested as vartaka- m. `quail' with the very productive ikā- and aka-suffixes. Note also MPers. vartak `id.'. The orig. form of the word cannot be reconstructed. WP. 1, 316 w. further lit., Specht Ursprung 139, 204 a. 214, Dehò Ist.

106 στόχος
Grammatical information: m.Meaning: `erected pillar, post, mark, fixed target', also `suspicion' (after στοχάζομαι)? (very rare, partly in the transmission blurred attestations in A., E., X., Poll., Att. inscr.).Compounds: Compp. ἄ-στοχος `missing the target', εὔ-στοχος `aiming well, hitting well' (Att., hell. a. late) with ἀ-, εὑ-στοχ-ία, - έω.Derivatives: στοχ-άς, - άδος f. `raising for the poles of fixing-nets' (Poll.); also adj. of unclear meaning (E. Hel. 1480 [lyr.], prob. false v. l. for στολάδες); - ανδόν adv. `by conjecture' (Theognost.). Normal denom. στοχάζομαι, also w. κατα- a.o., `to target at sthing, to shoot, to seek to achieve, to guess, to conjecture, to explore' (Hp., Att., hell. a. late) with ( κατα-) στοχασμός, - ασις, - αστής, - αστικός; also στόχασμα n. `instrument for aiming' = `javelin' (E. Ba. 1205; cf. Chantraine Form. 145).Etymology: Without certain non-Greek agreement. As the original meaning seems to have been `erected pillar, post', we can compare some Balt.-Slav. and Germ. words. Thus Russ. stóg m. `heap, heap of hay', Bulg. stéžer `post to bind horses to, bar (Germ. Schoberstange)', Russ. dial. stož-á, -ará, -erá `supporting pillar of a haystack', čech. stožár `mast(tree)', Lith. stãgaras `thin long stalk of a plant', Latv. stę̄ga `long bar' etc. Because of Germ., e.g. OE staca, NEngl. stake, OWNo. staki m. `bar, javelin' (PGm. * stak-an-) for stóg etc. IE * steg- is also possible [no, the short vowel requires an aspirate: Winter-Kortlandt's law]. Beside the words mentioned Germ. presents also another group, which cannot be well be distinguished from it, which goes back on IE * stegh- (\> Slav. steg-), mostly in the nasalized form ste-n-gh-: Swed. stagg `stiff and standing grass, sholder, stickleback' (-gg express. gemin.), ODan. stag `point, germ'; OHG stanga, OWNo. stǫng f. ' Stange, stick, pole' (with OWNo. stinga, OE stingan `sting') etc. (Not from here with zero grade (IE *stn̥gh-) στάχυς?)Page in Frisk: 2,804Greek-English etymological dictionary (Ελληνικά-Αγγλικά ετυμολογική λεξικό) > στόχος

107 Άσκληπιός
Grammatical information: PN m.Meaning: hero, later god of medicine (Il.)Dialectal forms: Dor. -ᾱπιός; Αἰσκλαπιός (Epid. a. Troiz.), Άσχλαπιός (Boeot.), Αἰσχλαπιός Άσκαλαπιός (Thess.), Άσκαλπιός (Gort.), Αἰσχλαβιός (bronze figure from Bologna with Corinthian letters; s. Kretschmer Glotta 30, 116), ᾽Αγλαπιός Lac., Αἰγλαπιός.Derivatives: ἀσκληπιάς f. name of a plant (Dsc; s. Strömberg Pflanzennamen 99).Origin: PG [a word of Pre-Greek origin]Etymology: Unexplained. H. Grégoire (with R. Goossens and M. Mathieu) in Asklèpios, Apollon Smintheus et Rudra 1949 (Mém. Acad. Roy. de Belgique. Cl. d. lettres. 2. sér. 45), explains the name as `the mole-hero', connecting σκάλοψ, ἀσπάλαξ `mole' and refers to the resemblance of the Tholos in Epidauros and the building of a mole. (Thus Puhvel, Comp. Mythol.1987, 135.) But the variants of Asklepios and those of the word for `mole' do not agree. - The name is typical for Pre-Greek words; apart from minor variations (β for π, αλ(α) for λα) we find α\/αι (a well known variation; Fur. 335 - 339) followed by - γλαπ- or - σκλαπ-\/- σχλαπ\/β-, i.e. a voiced velar (without - σ-) or a voiceless velar (or an aspirated one: we know that there was no distinction between the three in the substr. language) with a - σ-. I think that the - σ- renders an original affricate, which (prob. as δ) was lost before the - γ- (in Greek the group - σγ- is rare, and certainly before another consonant); this affricate will have been palatal (i.e. cy), of which the palatal character was (sometimes) expressed with a (preceding, or following) ι, for which see on ἐξαίφνης, ἐξαπίνης and πινυτός \/ πνυτός. S. Beekes Pre-Greek. - Szemerényi's etymology ( JHS 94, 1974, 155) from Hitt. assula(a)- `well-being' and piya- `give' cannot be correct, as it does not explain the velar.Page in Frisk: 1,164-165Greek-English etymological dictionary (Ελληνικά-Αγγλικά ετυμολογική λεξικό) > Άσκληπιός

108 Leeuwenhoek, Antoni van
[br]b. 24 October 1632 Delft, Netherlandsd. 1723 Delft, Netherlands[br]Dutch pioneer of microscopy.[br]He was the son of a basketmaker, Philip Tonisz Leeuwenhoek, and Grietje Jacobsdr van den Berch, a brewer's daughter. After the death of his father in 1637, his mother married the painter Jacob Jansz Molijn. He went to school at Warmond and, later to an uncle who was Sheriff of Benthuizen. In 1648 he went to Amsterdam, where he was placed in a linen-draper's shop owned by William Davidson, a Scottish merchant. In 1652 or 1653 he moved back to Delft, where in 1654 he married the daughter of a cloth-merchant, Barbara de Mey. They had five children, only one of whom survived (born 22 September 1656). At about this time he bought a house and shop in the Hippolytus buurt and set up in business as a draper and haberdasher. His wife died in 1666 and in 1671 he married Cornelia Swalmius, a Reformed Church minister's daughter. Lacking self-confidence and not knowing Latin, the scientific language of the day, he was reluctant to publish the results of his investigations into a multitude of natural objects. His observations were made with single-lens microscopes made by himself. (He made at least 387 microscopes with magnifications of between 30x and 266x.) Among the subjects he studied were the optic nerve of a cow, textile fibres, plant seeds, a spark from a tinderbox, the anatomy of mites and insects' blood corpuscles, semen and spermatozoa. It was the physician Reinier de Graaf who put him in touch with the Royal Society in London, with whom he corresponded for fifty years from 1673. One of his last letters, in 1723, to the Royal Society was about the histology of the rare disease of the diaphragm that he had studied in sheep and oxen and from which he died. In public service he was a chamberlain to the sheriffs of Delft, a surveyor and a wine-gauger, offices which together gave him an income of about 800 florins a year. Leeuwenhoek never wrote a book, but collections were published in Latin and in Dutch from his scientific letters, which numbered more than 250.[br]Principal Honours and DistinctionsFRS 1680.Further ReadingL.C.Palm and H.A.M.Snelders, Antoni van Leeuwenhoek 1632–1723: Studies in the Life and Work of the Delft Scientist, Commemorating the 350th Anniversary of his Birthday.B.Bracegirdle (ed.), Beads of Glass: Leeuwenhoek and the Early Microscope.
