From the full grade: 1. πηγός `solid, dense, strong' (ep. poet. I 124), prob. prop, `fixing' (cf. Schwyzer 459, Chantraine Form. 13); second. `white', also `black' (late poetry; wrongly concluded from Hom., Kretschmer Glotta 31, 95ff., Leumann Hom. Wörter 214 n. 8, to it also Reiter Die griech. Bez. der Farben weiß, grau und braun 74 f.). 2. πηγάς, - άδος f. `hoar-frost, rime' (Hes.); 3. πηγυλίς f. `frosty, icecold' (ξ 476, A.

Schulze KZ 57, 297 = Kl. Schr. 217), Germ., e.g. Goth. fahan, OHG fāhan from PGerm. * fa-n-χ-an (IE *paḱ- beside *paǵ-) `fasten, catch'. An analogous pair is ζεύγ-νυ-μι: iu-n-g-ō. Also the reduplicated perfekt πέ-πηγ-α has a formal agreement in Lat. pe-pig-ī with zero grade as in opt. πεπαγοίην (Eup.). Phonet. identical are further πηγός and pāgus m. `district, village'; also, with secondary full grade, πηκτός and com-pāctus, πῆξις and com-pācti-ō. The original zero grade is in πακτός and păctus ( sum, beside păciscor) retained. Zero grade also, without direct connection with the Greek formations πάγος etc., in Germ., e.g. OS fac n. `encompassing frontier, NHG Fach. -- An aspirated byform Meillet finds BSL 36, 110 in Arm. p'akem `close, shut off'. -- Further forms w. lit. in WP. 2, 2 f., Pok. 787f., W.-Hofmann s. pangō and pacīscō.

(Aët.) as from *-όω; πλάδος m. `dampness, sponginess' with - ώδης (Hp.), - όεις (sch.); πλάδη f. `id.' (Emp.), perh. backformation from πλαδάω.Origin: PG [a word of Pre-Greek origin]X [probably]Etymology: Expressive words, to be found esp. in the medic. lit.. With πλαδ-αρός: - άω: - ος agree the semantically close rhiming words κλαδ-αρός: - άω: - ος, μαδ-αρός: - άω: - ος; thus ῥυπ-αρός: - άω: - ος a.o.; s. Chantraine Form. 227. The genetic relation of these forms remains unclear; cf. on κραδάω, κράδη. -- No agreements outside Greek; formally closest is a Balt. verb for `swim', e.g. Lith. példu (példžiu), peldė́ti. If on separates the d (cf. κλαδαρός: κλάω (?)) one may connect expressions for `pour, spill etc.' in Lith. pilù pìlti (with zero grade) and Arm. heɫum (* pel-nu-mi) a.o.; s.

Lex.); 2. the pl.name πόλιον n. `Teucrium polium or creticum' (Thphr., Nic., Dsc.), after the colour of the flower (Dsc. 3, 1 10); 3. the abstracts πολιότης f. `greyness' (Arist.), πολιά (from πολι-ιά) f. `id.', also as disease (Arist.); 4. the denomin. a. πολι-αίνομαι `to become whitish', of the sea (A. Pers. 109; lyr.); b. - όομαι, - όω, also w. ἐπι-, προ-, `to become, make grey' (Arist.) with - ωσις f. `the becoming grey' (Arist.), - ωμα n. `greyness' (Eust.); c. - άζω `to become grey' (sch.).Etymology: With πολιός is perh. the semantically exactly agreeing Arm. ali-k`, gen. ale-ac' pl. `the (white) crests of waves, white hair, white beard' also formally identical (IE *polii̯o-, -ā), in any case closely related. As basis one may assume *πολι-Ϝός (Schwyzer 472 w. lit.); Further s. πελιδνός, πελιός. Extensively on πολιός a. cogn. Reiter Die griech.

124 πόντος
Grammatical information: m.Meaning: `sea, high sea' (ep. Il.), often in PN, e.g. ὁ Εὔξεινος πόντος `the Black Sea', for which also (ὁ) Πόντος (IA.), also as name of the south coast of the Black Sea and a state there (App. a.o.).Compounds: Compp., e.g. ποντο-πόρος `crossing the sea' (ep.Il.) with ποντοπορ-έω, - εύω `to cross the sea' (Od.; on the formation Chantraine Gramm. hom. 1, 62, 95 a. 368, Sommer Sybaris 146ff.); on Έλλήσποντος s. v.Derivatives: 1. πόντ-ιος `belonging to the sea' (h. Hom., Pi.), f. - ιάς (Pi.); 2. - ικός `from Pontos' (IA.; Chantraine Études 109 f., 122); 3. - ίλος m. name of a mollusc (Arist.; s. ναυτ-ίλος); 4. - εύς m. name of a Phaeacian (θ 113; Bosshardt 100); 5. ποντ-ίζω (A., S.), sonst κατα- πόντος (Att., N.

(IA.); ποντ-όομαι `to form a sea' (Q.S.), - όω = - ίζω (Nic. Dam.) with - ωσις f. (Tz.).Etymology: As against the ο-stm in πόντος stand diff. formations in other languages in diff. meanings: in Indo-Iran. an ablauting pant(h)ā- (e.g. nom. sg. Skt. pánthā-ḥ, Av. pantā̊): path(i)- (e.g. instr. sg. path-ā́, paʮ-a, pl. pathí-bhiḥ, padǝ-bīš) m. `road, path'; in other languages a fullgrade i-stem: Arm. hun, gen. hn-i `ford', Lat. pons, gen. pl. ponti-um m. `bridge, passage', OCS pǫtь m. `road'. Both these widespread i-flexion and the Greek o-flexion have arisen from an older, in Indo-Iran. still living, rather complicated paradigm ( pont-eh₁-, pn̥t-h₁-). A deriv. of the in Skt. path-ā́ etc. appearing zerograde (IE *pn̥th₁-) is found in πάτος `road, path' (and in OPr. pintis `road'); s. on πατέω.

Benveniste Word 10, 256 f.; so πόντος prop. "fairway" (cf. ὑγρὰ κέλευθα) referring to a for a seefaring nation primary function of the sea.

(IA.), - τικός `belonging to plumage' (Vp); 3. - μα n. `plumage' (A. fr., Pl. Phdr. a.o.; rather enlarged from πτερόν than from πτερόομαι); 4. πτερό-της f. `winged condition' (Arist.); 5. πτέρ-ων m. n. of an unknown bird ( Com.

(cf. on τανύω). -- From πτέρυξ 1. dimin. πτερύγ-ιον n. des. of several winglike objects (Hp., Arist.); 2. - ώδης `wing-like' (Hp., Thphr.); 3. - ωτός `provided with wings' (Arist.); 4. - ωμα n. `poultry etc.' (late); 5. πτερυγ-ίζω, also w. ἀνα- a.o., `to move the wings' (Ar.); - όομαι, - όω meaning unclear (Lesb. lyr. resp. medic.), ἀπο- πτερόν `to lose the wings' (Vett.

Schwyzer 725 w. lit.Etymology: Beside πτερ-όν stand on the one hand Arm. t`er `side', with lengthened vowel t`i̇r `flight', t`r̄-čim, aor. t`r̄-eay `fly', on the other Skt. pátr-am n. `wing, feather', Lat. acci-piter, - tr-is `hawk', Germ., e.g. OHG fedara, OWNo. fjǫðr f. ' feather', all going back on IE * pter- resp. * petr- (the last also in ὑποπετριδίων ὀνείρων `winged dreams' [Alcm. 23, 49; cf. Kock ad loc.]?). The r-stem is still found in Hitt. patt-ar ( pitt-ar?) n., to which with heteroclit. gen. pl. - an-aš; a continuation of the alternating n-stem a.o. in Lat. penna f. `feather, wing' from * pet-n-ā. At the basis is the verb for `fly' in πέτομαι, πτέ-σθαι, s. v. -- A disyllabic form is seen in Skt. patar-á- `flying', beside which patár-u- `id.', which reminds of the u-stem in πτέρ-υ-ξ(?). As for -( υ)γ- no convincing example inside Greek can be found ( ὄρτυξ and other birdnames are too far off), several connections have been suggested: Skt. pataṅ-g-á- `flying' (for patan- cf. petn- above; on g s. ἀστράγαλος [but this is Pre-Greek]), Av. fra-ptǝrǝǰāt- `bird' (analysis uncertain: from * ptǝrǝ-g- `wing'?), Lat. protervus `turbulent' (from *pro-pterg-u̯os?), OLFr. fetheracco gen. pl. `alarum'. -- Controversial is the connection with Slav. (OCS, Russ. etc.) peró n. `feather', which cannot be directly equated with πτερόν and perh. rather belongs to Skt. parṇám n. `wing, feather, leaf' etc. After Petersson KZ 47, 272 πτερόν would be a cross of *περόν (= Slav. peró) and πτέρυξ.

"foal-tamer", `horsebreaker' (X.; Schwyzer 451, Fraenkel Nom. ag. 2, 93) with πωλοδαμν-έω (S., E., X.) etc.; λευκό-πωλος `with white foals' (Pi., trag.).Derivatives: 1. Dimin. πωλ-ίον n. (Att., Arist. a.o.), - άριον (Pl. ap. D. L. a.o.); 2. adj. - ικός `belonging to, concerning foals' (S., E., Arc. a.o. inscr.), `virginal' (A. in lyr.; Chantraine Études 116ff.); - ειος `id.' (Suid.); 3. Πωλώ f. surn. of Artemis in Thasos (Nilsson Gr. Rel.

Tyr. a.o.).Etymology: Semant. πῶλος agrees exactly with NHG Fohlen, Füllen a. cogn., e.g. Goth. fula, OWNo. fole, OHG folo, PGm. * fulan-, with the dimin. OWNo. fyl n., Pgm. *ful-i̯a-, OHG fulīn n., PGm. * ful-īna- n. As aginst πῶλος PGm. * fulan represent the zero grade: IE pōlH-: plH̥-.

127 ῥοφέω
Grammatical information: v.Other forms: Fut. ῥοφήσομαι, -ω, aor. ῥοφῆσαι (Ar., X., Arist.; also Hp.), Ion. (Hippon., Hp.) ῥυφέω, - ῆσαι, also ῥυμφάνω (Jouanna, RPh 55 (1981)205-13). Rarely - άω (late).Derivatives: ῥόφ-ημα ( ῥύφ-) n. "dish, which is slurped", `thick broth, soup' (Hp., Arist.) with - ημάτιον (A. D.), - ηματώδης `soup-like' (medic.); - ησις ( ἀνα-, κατα-) f. `slurping' (Arist., medic.), - ητός `apt for slurping' (Str., medic.), - ητικός `slurping' (Str.); also ῥόμμα = ῥόφημα, ῥοπτός = ῥοφητός (Hp. ap. Gal.), as if from ῥόφω (EM); ῥόφισμα n. (Cyran.: *ῥοφίζω).Etymology: Iterative-intensive formation with many near cognates, which mostly represent a zero grade, IE *sr̥bh-; Arm. arbi `I drank' (pres. ǝmpem prob. to πίνω), Lith. surbiù, sur̃bti `suck', OCS srъbati, Russ. serbátь `slurp', Lat. sorbeō `id.'. Given these forms one is tempted to consider also ῥυφέω as zero grade (Schwyzer 351 f.). A primary full grade present is retained in Lith. srebiù, srė̃bti `eat (liquid food) wit a spoon', IE * srebh-; beside it IE * serbh- in Alb. gjerp `slurp' (the form seems to go back on *sorbʰ-eyō, Huld Alb. Etymologies 143). To a primary verb with remarkable o-vocalism (prob. after ῥοφέω) seem to go back also ῥόμμα, ῥοπτός. The widespread family is also found in German. (e.g. MHG sürpfeln, Swed. sörpla `slurp' with secondary pf resp. p) and in Iran. (Psht. rawdǝl `suck' a.o.; Morgenstierne Pashto s.v., Sarūpa- Bhāratī [1954] 1). -- WP. 2, 704, Pok. 1001, W.-Hofmann s. sorbeō, Fraenkel s. sur̃bti, Vasmer s. serbátь w. further forms a. lit. -- Cf. ῥυβδέω. -- The form ῥυφ- will rather be an (omomatop.?) byform.Page in Frisk: 2,663Greek-English etymological dictionary (Ελληνικά-Αγγλικά ετυμολογική λεξικό) > ῥοφέω

128 σκαλμός
Grammatical information: m.Derivatives: - μίδιον n. ( Com. Adesp.). Besides σκάλμη f. `short sword, knife' (S. Fr. 620, after H. = μάχαιρα Θρᾳκία).Etymology: A quite close agreement is found in Germ. in a des. of diff. split or cut objects: OWNo. skalm f. `tooth of a fork, pod of a fruit, short sword', Swed. skalm f., `arm of a fork etc.', LGerm. schalm `thin strip of wood', OHG scalm `boat', PGm. * skal-ma \/ ō-, IE * skol-mo \/ ā-. Besides without anl. s- e.g. Lith. kélmas `stump of a tree, stem' (further in Fraenkel s. v.). The for σκαλμός, - μη required zero grade was formed after σκάλλω, and with an original sense of `split' v. t. The special meaning `thole' is a Greek innovation (cf. Chantraine Étrennes Benveniste 6). -- Did *skl̥mo- give σκαλμο- (one could expect *σκλαμο-?); esp. the Thrac. word is uncertain. Cf. the end of σκάλλω, where Frisk assumes a form independent of this verb, which is rather vague.Page in Frisk: 2,716Greek-English etymological dictionary (Ελληνικά-Αγγλικά ετυμολογική λεξικό) > σκαλμός
