L. 718; Schwyzer 443f.); on ὁμο-κλη ( ὀμ-), - κλέω, - άω s. v.Derivatives: With disyll. stem: 1. καλήτωρ adjunct of κῆρυξ `Caller' (Ω 577), also as PN (Ο 419) with Καλητορίδης (Ν 541); καλη- as in καλή-μεναι (Κ 125; Aeol. athemat. formation?), perhaps after κλη- (Schulze Q. 16f., Fraenkel Nom. ag. 1, 17), if not metrically lenghtned (Solmsen Unt. 17); diff. again Schwyzer 531 n. 7 (after καλέω etc. for κλη-); thus 2. Καλήσιος (Ζ 18); 3. κάλεσις = κλῆσις, `nominative' (gramm.). - With monosyll. stem: 4. κλῆσις `call, invitation, summons etc.' (Att. hell.), often from the prefixed verbs, e. g. ἐπίκλη-σις `surname' (Il.); 5. - κλημα, e. g. ἔγκλη-μα `reproach, accusation' (Att.) with ἐγκλήμων, - ματικός, - ματίζω etc. 6. κλητήρ, - ῆρος `herald, witness' (A., Att.); ὁμοκλη-τήρ `who calls' (Il.) from ὁμοκλη, - έω (s. v.); ἀνακλητήρια n. pl. `feast when a king is nominated' (Plb.); 7. κλήτωρ, - ορος `witness', also PN (hell.), after κλητήρ (Fraenkel Nom. ag. 1, 17f.; on καλήτωρ: κλητήρ Benveniste Noms d'agent 29, 40, 46). - 8. κλητός `called, invited, wellcome' (Hom.; Ammann Μνήμης χάριν 1, 14 a. 21) with κλητεύω `call to justice etc.' (Att.), ( ἀνα- etc.) - κλη-τικός; often from the prefixed verbs, e. g. ἔκκλη-τος ` called in' (IA.

Beside monosyllabic κλη- (beside καλέ-σαι) Latin has clā- ( clā- mare, clā- rus; beside calā-re). The present καλέ-ω is no doubt an innovation, prob. to καλέσαι (Fraenkel Mélanges Boisacq 1, 367; diff. on καλέω, καλέσαι Specht KZ 59, 85ff.). - (Not cognate are κέλαδος ` noise'.) The α-vowel in καλέ-σαι will go back to a sonantic l̥ ; the same vowel is found in Italic, Lat. calāre ` declare', Umbr. kařetu (\< * kalē- tōd); further the not fully explained OHG, OS halōn `call, fetch' (= calāre), Hitt. kalleš- `call', Skt. uṣā- kal-a- `call' (s. ἠϊκανός). As in the semant. close IE. * kan- (s. καναχή) the a is clearly very old (is it connected with the onomatop. charcater of the verb?). - Forms in Pok. 548ff.; further W.-Hofmann and Ernout-Meillet s. calō.Page in Frisk: 1,762-763Greek-English etymological dictionary (Ελληνικά-Αγγλικά ετυμολογική λεξικό) > καλέω

Schwyzer 706), to which came κεντῆ-σαι, κεντή-σω etc. - Other languages have only isolated nominal formations: OHG hantag `pointed', deriv. from PGm. * handa- (formally = κοντός), Latv. sīts `hunting spear' (= Lith. *šiñtas \< IE. *ḱentos- n.?), and some Celtic words, e. g.

Also the verbal adj. κριτός has a direct agreement in Lat. certus `decided, certain'; further the languages behave diff.: the lengthened grade in ( dē)crē-v-ī, ex-crē-mentum `separation' perh. in the isolated κρησέρα `feines Sieb' (s. v.; improbable). The Greek paradigm results from large-scale levelling; only Att. κρῖμα for older κρεῖμα (after κρί̄νω, κρῖναι) = Lat. dis-crī-men still has the full grade preserved (Wackernagel Unt. 76 n. 1, Rodriguez Adrados Emerita 16, 133 ff.). - The numerous nominal formations, esp. in Latin, Celtic and Germanic (e. g.

Except the rare and relatively late attested present κτάομαι all forms have κτη-(ἔγκτασις hyperdoric after ἔμπᾱσις; s. πάσασθαι).

Schwyzer 519 n. 6, Egli Heteroklisie 32.Etymology: The oldcomparison with Indo-Iran. present Skt. kṣáyati = Av. xšayeiti, -te `rule, order, have power' is semantically unproblemtic, but formally already less convincing, as κτάομαι makes the inpression of being an innovation and the well established non-present forms of Greek have no Indo-Iran. agreements. A further problem was Skt. kṣáy-ati; this form does not continue *ksǝi̯eti; the solution is * ksH-ei-, which was unknown until recently; this solution can also be used to explain Skt. kṣa-trám - Av. xša-θ rǝm `rule'. The equation of κτάομαι `acquire' and Skt. kṣáyati is therefore less evident. Cf.

Dimin. λώπιον (Arist., inscr.); denomin. ἀπο-, περι-λωπίζω `undress, put off' (S., Hyp.).Origin: PG [a word of Pre-Greek origin]Etymology: The primary thematic present λέπω, from which all verbal forms were derived ( λέλαμμαι, - λαπῆναι innovations after ἔστραμμαι, στραφῆναι etc.), has no direct agreements outside Greek. There are a few nominal formations, which resemble the Greek forms: Lith. lãpas `leaf', Alb. lapë `rag, leaf, peritoneum' (: λοπός), Lith. lõpas `rag, piece' (: λῶπος; also OE lōf m. `band of the forehead'??, Holthausen IF 32, 340), with Russ. lápotь `shoe of bark' (lapotók `rag, piece'); quite doubtful OE leber, læfer f. `rush, cane, metal plate' (: λέπρα?; Holthausen IF 48, 255). With λέπος one compared also Lat. s-stem lepōs `fine-ness, delicacy', and the Slav. extension in Russ. lépest `rag, piece, leaf of a flower'. Given the productivity of these formations and the varying meanings we may have parallel creations. - Further, partly very doubtful and debated forms in WP. 2, 429f., Pok. 678, W.-Hofmann s. lepidus, Fraenkel Lit. et. Wb. s. lãpas, lõpas, also lèpti `be coddled', Vasmer Russ. et. Wb. s. lépest, lápotь, lópotõk; with rich lit. - We can safely conclude that the verb is not IE: there is hardly a formal agreement, nor does the meaning agree well. So the verb will be Pre-Greek. Note the forms λεπάγιον, λεπακινός, λέπασμα, λέπυρον, λεπύχανον, λέπρα, λώψ, λῶπος etc. The verb may be compared with ὀλόπτω and ὀλούφω, which would also point to a non-IE word.Page in Frisk: 2,105-107Greek-English etymological dictionary (Ελληνικά-Αγγλικά ετυμολογική λεξικό) > λέπω

Ion.), μαχέσ(σ)ομαι (Ion. a. late), μαχέομαι (Β 366), μαχοῦμαι (Att.; μαχεῖται Υ 26), perf. μεμάχημαι (Att.),Compounds: Often with prefix, e.g. δια-, συν-, ἀπο- (on ἀμφι μάχομαι Bolling AmJPh 81, 77ff.). As s. member in synthetic paroxytona like μονο-μάχ-ος `battling alone' (A., E.), m. `gladiator' (Str.), with μονομαχ-έω, - ία etc., ναυ-μάχ-ος `battling on sea' (AP; but ναύ-μαχος from μάχη, s. below).Derivatives: μάχη `battle' (Il.; on the meaning etc. Porzig Satzinhalte 233, Trümpy Fachausdrücke 135 f.); as 2. member e.g. in ἄ-, πρό-, σύμ-, ναύ-, ἱππό-μαχος with derivv. like προμαχ-ίζω, συμμαχ-έω, ναυμαχ-έω, - ία. Derivv. 1. μαχη-τής m. `battler' (Hom., LXX), Dor. μαχατάς (P.; H. μαχάταρ ἀντίπαλος), Aeol. μαχαίτας (Alk. Z 27, 5; hyperaeol.?), also derived from μάχομαι; Trümpy 128. 2. μάχ-ιμος `warlike, soldier of an Egyptian tribe' (IA.; after ἄλκιμος, Arbenz 42) with μαχιμικός `after the μάχιμοι' (pap.). 3. Μαχάων m. PN (Aeol. ep.), Ion. - έων, with Dor. Μαχαν-ίδας (Fraenkel Nom. ag. 1, 207f., v.

Schwyzer 451.Origin: PG [a word of Pre-Greek origin](X)Etymology: Beside the thematic root-present μάχομαι there is the isolated by-form μαχέομαι, prob. rather after μαχήσομαι (cf. below) than as denominative of μάχη (cf. Schwyzer 721 and Chantraine Gramm. hom. 1, 351). With μαχήσομαι: ἐμαχό-μην compare cases like ἀπ-εχθήσομαι: ἀπ-εχθόμην, μαθήσομαι: ἔμαθον, γενήσομαι: ἐγενόμην (Schwyzer 782). One is therefore prepared to see in ἐμαχόμην (to which μάχομαι was made) an original aorist, with which would agree, that the aorist in Hom. "auffallend selten gebraucht ist" (Trümpy Fachausdrücke 260 n. 333). When μαχεσθαι was reinterpreted as present a new aorist (after κοτέσσασθαι a. o.) μαχέσ-(σ)ασθαι would have arisen. After the type τελέσ(σ)αι: fut. τελῶ arose to μαχέσ(σ)ασθαι the new fut. μαχοῦμαι. -- In the field of fighting and battle old inherited expressions are hardly to be expected.

Within Greek it is formally possible, to connect μάχομαι with μάχαιρα and further with μῆχαρ, μηχανή (Fick BB 26, 230), which Chantr. rightly calls improbable; cf. esp. χειρο-μάχα f. (scil. ἑταιρεία) name of the workers party in Miletos after Plu. 2, 298 c; new attempt, to find a semantic basis for the connection in Trümpy 127 f.

An exact counterpart outside Greek is not found. With iterative ἐπι-μηνάω agreed Arm. mnam `stay, expect' from * mēnā- like Lat. cēlāre (: oc-culere; [not to καλύπτω], sēdāre (: sīdere; s. ἕζομαι).

Other secondary formations are Lat. manēre (with reduced stemvowel; -ē- not to be identified with με-μέν-η-κα), Iran., e.g. Av. caus. mānayeiti `he makes stay'. Primary formations that certainly belong here gives only Sanskrit in the reduplicated athematic ma-man-dhi (ipv.), ma-man-yāt (opt.), á-ma-man (ipf.) `wait, stand still' (only RV. 10, 27; 31; 32). -- Quite doubtful is the compraison with Hitt. mimmai `he refuses, rejects' (\< * mi-mnā- to μίμνω??

Grammatical information: v.Meaning: `shave, carve, smooth, polish'.Other forms: Aor. ξέσ(σ)αι (Il.), pass. ξεσθῆναι, perf. midd. ἔξεσμαι (IA.), fut. ξέσω (Paul. Aeg.), perf. act. ἔξεκα (Choerob.), Vbaladj. ξεστός (Il.; Ammann Μνήμης χάριν 1, 16).Derivatives: 1. ξέσις ( ἀπό-) f. `smoothing, carving' (Thphr., Delph. IVa); 2. ξέσματα pl. `carving, chips, carved objects' (M. Ant., AP); 3. ξεσμοῖς dat. pl. H. as explanation of σπαράγμασι. 4. ξόανον n. `(carved) image og (a) god' (S., E., X.), name of a (carved?) musical instrument (S. Fr. 238); ξοάνων προθύρων ἐξεσμένων H.; formation like ὄχανον (: ἔχω), πλόκανον (: πλέκω) a.o. (Chantraine 198; not with Bq, WP. 1, 450 a.o. from ξύω; nor with Latte Glotta 32, 35 f. subst. adj.); dimin. ξοάνιον (Anaphe IIa). 5. ξοΐς, - ίδος f. `chisel' (hell. inscr.) with ξοΐδιον (pap. IIIp) and ξοΐτης m. name of a profession (Isauria; Redard 36); prob. directly from ξέω after κοπίς, δορίς a.o. (cf. Chantraine 338); ξοός ξυσμός, ὁλκός H. 6. Of the prefixed forms: διαξόος m. `sculptor' (Delph. 341a), ἀμφί-ξοος (- ους) `smoothing round about' (AP); ἐπι-, κατα-, παρα-ξοή, -ά `carving, smoothing etc.' (inscr.). -- On itself stand with lengthened grade ξώστρα ψηκτρίς, ψήκτρια H. (acc. to WP. 1, 450 a.o. rather to ξύω).Origin: ??Etymology: With ξύω (and ξαίνω?) cognate (s. vv.); without close agreement outside Greek. The stem ξεσ-, reconstructed from ξεσ-τός, ξέσ-(σ)αι a.o., which is at the basis of all forms cited above, is after traditional interpretation to be analysed as ξ-εσ-(= ks-es-) and to be interpreted as zero grade with εσ-enlargement (cf. on τρέω) of the IE root * kes- in OCS čes-ati `comb' a.o. (s. κέσ-κεον) `scratch, comb' (e.g. Brugmann Grundr.2 II: 3, 343 with Persson Stud. 88); connection with κεάζω a. cogn. (s. v.) can as well be considered. -- Diff. suggestion in Schwyzer 269 and 329: ξέω metathesized from * kes-ō (= OCS čes-)? Mann Lang. 28,40 compares Alb. shesh `raze, level', supposedly from *ksesi̯ō. Zie by keskeon!!!

35 ὄνομαι
Grammatical information: v.Meaning: `to scold, to blame, to insult' (Hom., also Hdt.).Other forms: Aor. ὀνόσ(σ)ασθαι ( ὤνατο P 25; cf. below), fut. ὀνόσ-σομαι, with κατα- in κατ-ώνοντο, -ονοσθῃ̃ς (Hdt. 2, 172 a. 136).Derivatives: Verbal adj. ὀνο-τός (Pi., Call., A. R.), ὀνο-σ-τός (Ι 164, Lyc.; - σ- analogical, s. Schwyzer 503; cf. also below and Ammann Μνήμης χάριν 1, 15); dental formation in ὀνοτ-άζω = ὄνομαι (h. Merc., Hes., A.); ὀνητά μεμπτά H., prob. after the oppositum ἀγητά (if not false for ὀνοστά with Baunack Phil. 70, 464 f.); ὄνοσις f. `blame' (Eust.).Etymology: All forms except ὤνατο (rather aor. then ipf.), ὄναται ἀτιμάζεται H. and the debated οὔνεσθε (Ω 241) are based on ὀνο- (further Schwyzer 681 w. n. 4, ChantraineGramm. hom. 1, 295f. a. 382); ὀνα- is not an old ablautvariant (Schw. 362, Persson Beitr. 2, 669) but a sec. deviation. -- Without certain non-Greek agreement. Quite hypothetic is the comparison with some Celt. words, e.g. MIr. on `shame', anim (a- reduced grade?) `blemish, fault'. The comparison with the not quite reliable GAv. ptc. nadant- `slandering, reviling' (ἅπ. λεγ.) and with Skt. níndati `blame, revile' (as ní-nd- ati; but rather ní-n-d- ati, s. ὄνειδος and Mayrhofer s. níndati and nádati) is based on the wrong assumption, that ὀνόσσ-ασθαι, - ομαι and ὀνοστός go back on ὀνοδ-, instead of being analogical. Uncertain is connection with Hitt. hanna- `contend, contest' Puhvel, Hitt.Et.Dict. 3, 83. -- Details w. older lit. in Bq, WP. 1, 180, Pok. 779, also W.-Hofmann s. nota. Far remains ὄνομα, s.

Schwyzer 411), ὀρέγω agrees as themat. root-present with Lat. regō `direct straight, lead, direct, govern' and OIr. rigim `stretch out'; also agree, butß for the vowelquantity, ὀρέξαι to Lat. rēxī and ὀρεκτός to rēctus (ē can be secondary length.), to which also Germ., e.g. Goth. raíhts ` recht', Av. rā̆šta- `directed, ordened, straight'. Genetically independent are the formally agreeing ὄρεγμα, Av. rasman- m. n. `line of battle', Lat. reg-i-men n. `leadership'. Whether there is old connection between the isolately attested ptc. ὀρεγ-νύς, - νύμενος and the Av. adj. raš-nu- `straight' is uncertain; the present ὀριγ-νάομαι with suffixed nasal is rather far off from the nasalinfixed Skt. r̥-ñ-játi `stretches itself, runs'. The group presents many forms, presentformations and verbal nouns, which are not useful for the straight and very regular Greek system (on ὀρωρέχαται, - το s. Schwyzer 771). -- WP. 2, 362ff., Pok. 854ff., W.-Hofmann s. regō, w. rich lit.; Ernout-Meillet s. rĕgō with important notes; also Gonda KZ 73, 151 ff. -- (There is no connection with ἀρήγω.)Page in Frisk: 2,412-413Greek-English etymological dictionary (Ελληνικά-Αγγλικά ετυμολογική λεξικό) > ὀρέγω

On πέπων s. v.Etymology: The yot-present πέσσω agrees exatly with Skt. pácyate (midd.) `ripens', IE *pekʷ-i̯o\/e-; for it elsewhere a themat. root- present * pekʷ-o \/ e- in Skt. pácati = Lat. coquō = OCS pekǫ, Lith. kepù (with inversion, cf. ἀρτοκόπος) etc. Thus the aor. πέψαι agrees with Skt. pákṣat (subj.) and Lat. coxī. The verbal nouns too are often found back outside Greek; but some may be parallel innovations: πέψις = Skt. (Ved.) paktí-, pákti- f. `cooking, cooked meal' = Lat. cocti-ō `id.' (Vitr.) = OCS peštь f. `furnace'; πεπτός (cf. above) = Lat. coctus = Welsh poeth `hot' = Lith. kèptas `baked' (but Skt. not *paktá-, but pakvá-; cf. on πέπων); πέπτρια f.: Skt. paktár- m. = Lat. coctor (Petron etc.). -- WP. 2, 17f., Pok. 798, W.-Hofmann s. coquō, Mayrhofer s. pácati etc. w. lit. and further details.Page in Frisk: 2,519-520Greek-English etymological dictionary (Ελληνικά-Αγγλικά ετυμολογική λεξικό) > πέσσω

Here also πλάγγος; s. v.Origin: IE [Indo-European]X [probably]Etymology: With πλάγξαι, πλαγκτός agree formally Lat. plānxi, plānctus (vowellength sec.); to this πλάζω as yot-present from *πλάγγ-ι̯ω against plang-ō. Further, uncertain comparisons from Alb., Celt. and Germ., for Greek without interest, in W.-Hofmann s. v. So orig. meaning `beat away', which in some places, e.g. Φ 269, and in Πλαγκταί still can be vaguely seen.
