8 ἁλίσκομαι
Grammatical information: v.Meaning: `be caught' (Il.).Derivatives: ἅλωσις `capture' (Pi.).Etymology: Aor. ἑά̄λων from *ἠ-Ϝᾰ́λων. The aspiration may have been taken from αἱρεῖν, ἑλεῖν. - ἁλίσκομαι has the suffix - ισκ-. A root * uelh₃- explains the forms: zero grade * ulh₃- gives *Ϝλω- before consonant (e.g. in 1. 2. pl. aor.) and *Ϝαλ- before consonant (e.g. 3. pl. aor.); contamination then gives *Ϝαλω-. But perhaps better a passive aorist with - η-: * ulh₃-eh₁- \> *Ϝαλω- (Hardarsson Aor. 208; an objection is that the form then must be terribly old). - Perhaps connected with Lat. vello `pluck, tear out', Goth. wilwan `rob, plunder', Arm. goɫanam `steal' (Hitt. walḫ- `strike' is semantically farther off). - Cf. ἀναλίσκω and εἵλωτες.Page in Frisk: 1,74Greek-English etymological dictionary (Ελληνικά-Αγγλικά ετυμολογική λεξικό) > ἁλίσκομαι

The ordinal was later reshaped into *deu̯ino-.

11 θρώσκω
Grammatical information: v.Meaning: `spring, leap upon, rush, dart' (Il.);Other forms: θρῴσκω, Schwyzer 710, Chantraine Gramm. hom. 1, 317), aor. θορεῖν, fut. θοροῦμαι (Il.), ἔθρωξα (Opp.), perf. ptc. f. τεθορυίης (Antim. 65); after θορεῖν the pres. θόρνυμαι (Hdt. 3, 109, [S.] Fr. 1127, 9, Nic. Th. 130) for original θάρνυσθαι = κυΐσκεσθαι (H.; thematic θαρνεύει ὀχεύει; s. also on θρέομαι),Derivatives: 1. From θρω-: θρωσμός ( θρῳσμός) `springing, rising' (Κ 160, Λ 56 = Υ 3; A. R. 2, 823; cf. Porzig Satzinhalte 239); θρῶσις `cord, line' (Theognost., H.). 2. From the aorist: θορός m. (Hdt., Hp., Arist.), θορή f. (Hdt., Alcmaion) `mascul. seed', prop. "springer" or "jumper" (cf. Fraenkel Nom. ag. 1, 88, Schwyzer 459); from there θορικός `belonging to the seed' (Arist.), θοραῖος `containing seed etc.' (Nic., Lyc.), θορώδης `id.' (Gal.), θορόεις `consisting of seed' (Opp.); denomin. verb θορίσκομαι `receive semen' (Ant. Lib.; cf. κυΐσκομαι). - On θοῦρος s. v.Etymology: The only certain comparison gives MIr. dairim `leap upon' with the nouns der `young girl' (\< * dherā), Welsh - derig `rutty' (Fick 2, 142, Loth Rev. celt. 41, 378f.). On the ablaut cf. βλώσκω, μολεῖν, μολοῦμαι (s. v.), and s. Schwyzer 696 and 747. The root was * dʰerh₃-; * dʰrh₃- giving θρω- before consonant, θαρ- before vowel; θορή contains old -o: * dʰorh₃-; the form with θαρν(ευ-) goes back on an old nasal present, * dʰr-n-(e)h₃- which would have given *θαρνω-μι. The fut. θορέομαι may go back with metathesis on *θερο- \< * dʰerh₃- (Ruiperez, Emerita 18 (1950) 386-407); the aorist will have its vocalism from here.Page in Frisk: 1,689Greek-English etymological dictionary (Ελληνικά-Αγγλικά ετυμολογική λεξικό) > θρώσκω

With κα: κε cf. γα: γε. The final nasal in κεν can be explained as ion. ν ἐφελκυστικόν; genetic connexion with the underlining Skt. kám and the Slav. preposition kъ (both from IE. * kom) is not believable in spite of the groups nú kam: νύ κεν. One connects κεν zero grade with κα before consonant, καν (Arcadian) before vowel; κε could be remade after κα (Palmer in A Companion to Homer 90-92. οὐ καν may have been changed to οὐκ ἄν - Details in Schwyzer-Debrunner 568f.; on the use also Gonda Moods 135ff.

(Luc.). - The old perfect τέθνηκα `am dead', pl. τέθνᾰμεν, ptc. τεθνηώς, τεθνεώς, Aeol. inf. τεθνά̄κην, with the thematic root aorist ἔθανον `I died' (Il.), the fut. θανοῦμαι (Il.) and an added present θνηισκω (inscr.), θνήσκω (mss.), Aeol. θναισκω (Hdn. Gr. 2, 79); in prose mostly ἀπο-θνῄσκω; also with other prefixes, e. g. κατα-θνῄσκω, - θανεῖν, - τέθνηκα (all Il.); on the function of the prefix Schwyzer-Debrunner 268f., Hermann Gött. Nachr. 1943, 617f. Verbal adj. θνητός `mortal' (Il.). - From there θνήσιμος (only Arg. to S. OT 7) with θνησιμαῖον `cadaver' (LXX; Chantraine Formation 49, Mélanges Maspéro 221); in the same meaning also θνᾱσίδιον, θνησ(ε)ίδιον (Lesbos, Ael.; Schwyzer 270). Verbalsubst. θνῆσις `dying, mortality' (medic.); on εὑθνήσιμος `preparing a soft death' (A. Ag. 1294) from εὖ θνῄσκειν; cf. εὑθάνατος, - τέω, - σία; diff., hardly correct, Arbenz 78 u. 84.Etymology: The form θαν- ( εῖν) and θάνα-(τος) θνᾱ-(τός) point to a form *dhnh₂-, *dhnh₂-e- beside *dhnh₂- before consonant. The comparison with Skt. aorist á-dhvanī-t `he disappeared' and the ptc. dhvān-tá- `dark' led to the reconstruction IE dhu̯enǝ-; the meaning `die' stems from a euphemism, cf. Chantraine Sprache 1, 146. See Pok. 266. But the -u̯- is not quite certain.Page in Frisk: 1,652-653Greek-English etymological dictionary (Ελληνικά-Αγγλικά ετυμολογική λεξικό) > θάνατος
