21 ἄντρον
Grammatical information: n.Meaning: `cave' (Od.).Origin: PG [a word of Pre-Greek origin]X [probably]Etymology: ἄντρον cannot be connected with Arm. ayr `grotto'. The last attempt, from De Lamberterie, must be rejected. He starts from a form *antēr, which is improbable (substr. words in - ηρ are also extremely rare), but the supposed development in Armenian is quite improbable; s. Clackson 1994, 98. - Connection with ἄνεμος (Schwyzer 532) is impossible. Lat. antrum is a loan. So we can best return to Chantr. Form. 331 and assume the word may be a substr.word.Page in Frisk: 1,115Greek-English etymological dictionary (Ελληνικά-Αγγλικά ετυμολογική λεξικό) > ἄντρον

22 ἑκυρός
Grammatical information: m.Meaning: `father of the husband, father-in-law',Derivatives: ἑκυρά, -ή `mother of the husband, mother-in-law' (Il.). Denomin. Boeot. ἑκουρεύω `be father-in-law' (Corinn.).Origin: IE [Indo-European] [1043] *sue̯ḱuro- `father-in-law'Etymology: Old relatives name, preserved in many languages: Skt. śváśura- (\< *svaś- assimil.), Av. xvasura-, Lat. socer, Germ., e. g. OHG swehur, Lith. šẽšuras (\< * seš assimil.), IE *su̯éḱuro-s m.; the original anlaut still to be seen in φίλε (Ϝh) ἑκυρέ Γ 172 (cf. Schwyzer 304, Chantr. Gramm. hom. 1, 146); the oxytone accent musst be a Greek innovation (after ἑκυρά; cf. also πενθερός). - To ἑκυρά agrees Arm. skesur (\< IE *ḱu̯eḱurā with assimil. for *su̯eḱ-); the ā-stem for an older ū-stem, cf. Skt. śvaśrū́-, NPers. xusrū, Lat. socrus, Celt., e. g. Welsh chwegr, Germ., e. g. OHG swigar, OCS svekry, IE *su̯eḱrū́-s f. Another innovation is Goth. swaihro = ONord. svǣra ( ōn-stem), from where a new masculine, Goth. swaihra. Also in other languages the names for `mother-in-law' gave new names for the father-in-law, so clearly in Arm. skesr-ayr prop. `husband of the mother-in-law, Welsh chwegr-wn, NHG Schwiegervater to Schwieger(mutter); prob. also in OCS svekrъ. This explains the oxytonation in ἑκυρός. Apparently in the life of the extended family, esp. for the young wife (cf. Risch Mus. Helv. 1, 117), the mother-in-law had a more dominant roll than the father-in-law. One may therefor ask, whether IE *su̯éḱuros was not sec. against *su̯eḱrū́s; see Specht KZ 65, 193. - The word probably contains the reflexive *su̯e (cf. on ἀέλιοι); but the ending is dark. - W.-Hofmann s. socer, Vasmer Russ. et.

23 Rankine, William John Macquorn
SUBJECT AREA: Mechanical, pneumatic and hydraulic engineering[br]b. 5 July 1820 Edinburgh, Scotlandd. 1872[br][br]Rankine was educated at Ayr Academy and Glasgow High School, although he appears to have learned much of his basic mathematics and physics through private study. He attended Edinburgh University and then assisted his father, who was acting as Superintendent of the Edinburgh and Dalkeith Railway. This introduction to engineering practice was followed in 1838 by his appointment as a pupil to Sir John MacNeill, and for the next four years he served under MacNeill on his Irish railway projects. While still in his early twenties, Rankine presented pioneering papers on metal fatigue and other subjects to the Institution of Civil Engineers, for which he won a prize, but he appears to have resigned from the Civils in 1857 after an argument because the Institution would not transfer his Associate Membership into full Membership. From 1844 to 1848 Rankine worked on various projects for the Caledonian Railway Company, but his interests were becoming increasingly theoretical and a series of distinguished papers for learned societies established his reputation as a leading scholar in the new science of thermodynamics. He was elected Fellow of the Royal Society in 1853. At the same time, he remained intimately involved with practical questions of applied science, in shipbuilding, marine engineering and electric telegraphy, becoming associated with the influential coterie of fellow Scots such as the Thomson brothers, Napier, Elder, and Lewis Gordon. Gordon was then the head of a large and successful engineering practice, but he was also Regius Professor of Engineering at the University of Glasgow, and when he retired from the Chair to pursue his business interests, Rankine, who had become his Assistant, was appointed in his place.From 1855 until his premature death in 1872, Rankine built up an impressive engineering department, providing a firm theoretical basis with a series of text books that he wrote himself and most of which remained in print for many decades. Despite his quarrel with the Institution of Civil Engineers, Rankine took a keen interest in the institutional development of the engineering profession, becoming the first President of the Institution of Engineers and Shipbuilders in Scotland, which he helped to establish in 1857. Rankine campaigned vigorously for the recognition of engineering studies as a full university degree at Glasgow, and he achieved this in 1872, the year of his death. Rankine was one of the handful of mid-nineteenth century engineers who virtually created engineering as an academic discipline.[br]Principal Honours and DistinctionsFRS 1853.
