119 λισσάνιος
Grammatical information: adj.Meaning: only in ὦ λισσάνιε (Ar. Lys. 1171; v. l. λυσσ-), address of unknown meaning, by H. and Phot. explained with ἀγαθός (cf. ὦ ' γαθέ).Origin: XX [etym. unknown]Etymology: Because of the unclear meaning without etymology. After Bechtel Dial. 2, 376 f. hypostasis from λισσὸς ἀνιᾶν, "who causes no ἀνία" = `harmless', but the 2. member belongs rather to ἡνία `rein'. The 2. member too is uncertain; when we omit the v. l. λυσσάνιε of Cod. Ravennas (rather `Verschlimmbesserung' after λύσσα; cf. μαινόμενε sch.), connection is possible not only with λισσός ("with smooth reins", i.e. ` steerable'??), but also with λίσσομαι ("who asks for reins" = "who wants to be guided" = `obedient'?); cf. πειθ-, φιλ-ήνιος.

Stob.), ὀπηδητήρ σύνοδος, ἀκόλουθος H.Origin: PG [a word of Pre-Greek origin]X [probably]Etymology: As ὀπηδός can hardly be separated from the synonymous ὀπάων, one thinks of an anlysis ὀπη-δός ( ὀπ-ηδός?); such a formation, esp. of a nom. agentis, is however unknown (but several in - ηδών). Against direct connection with ὀπάζω (ὀπᾱδός backformation?; suggestion of Kronasser in Haas Μνήμης χάριν 1, 132) speaks the diff. quantity of the vowel; not better Prellwitz Glotta 19, 98 after Bezzenberger BB 24, 321: *ὀπᾱδ old abl. of *ὀπά f. `followers, suite'. -- Perhaps with Sapir Lang. 10, 274ff. a.o. from Hitt. ḫapatiš `obedient, subject, servant', s. Schwyzer 508 n. 6, Neumann Heth. u. luw. Sprachgut 19. This would mean a loan from a foreign language; so it could as well be Pre-Greek. - On ὀπάων, ὀπαδός in trag. Björck Alpha impurum 109 f.
