18 βρόξαι
Grammatical information: v.Other forms: Aor. pass. ἀναβροχέν (λ 586), perf. ἀναβέβροχεν (Ρ 54, acc. to Zenodotus for ἀναβέβρῠχεν). βράξαι.. καταπιεῖν H. Cf. βρούξ τράχηλος, βρόγχος H.Compounds: Mostly ἀνα-, κατα-βρόξαι.Derivatives: βρόχθος m. `throat, draught' (Hp.), βροχθώδης `shallow' (?; Nic.); βροχθίζω `take a mouthful, clear the throat, give to drink' (Arist.).Origin: PG [a word of Pre-Greek origin]Etymology: The o-vocalism, which surprises in the aorist, can hardly be explained from an Aeolic origin, in spite of βράξαι (above). The notation κατα-βρῶξαι (Ar.) may be due to influence of βιβρώσκω. - βρόχθος, prob. an action noun, has been compared with γνάθος, στῆθος etc. (Schwyzer 510f., Chantr. Form. 367) but these are body parts ( γνάθος is Pre-Gr.). - From other languages one adduces Germanic and Celtic words like MHG krage `neck, throat, collar', MEng. crawe `crop, craw (of a bird)', which may contain *gʷrŏgh-, and OIr. brāgae `neck', MWelsh breuant `windpipe' from PCelt. * brāg-, PIE * gʷrōgʰ- (not *gʷr̥̄gʰ-, i.e. *gʷr̥Hgʰ-, which would give βρη\/α\/ ωχ- in Greek). (Not to βιβρώσκω, as * gʷrh₃- would have given *βρω-). - However, this IE etym. can neither explain βρόχθος nor βρόγχος, nor βράγχος. The aberrant o-vocalism is confirmed by the a-voc. of βράγχος. If βρούξ τράχηλος, βρόγχος H. is reliable, it would also remain unexplained; for ο\/ου cf. κολοτέα\/ κολουτέα Beekes, Pre-Gr.Page in Frisk: 1,270Greek-English etymological dictionary (Ελληνικά-Αγγλικά ετυμολογική λεξικό) > βρόξαι

19 *θρυλίσσω
*θρυλίσσω (*θρῡλίζω?)Grammatical information: v.Derivatives: θρύλιγμα `fragment' (Lyc. 880).Etymology: Denominative verb from *θρῦλος (on the formation Schwyzer 733 ζ and 737f.), which belongs to Welsh dryll `fragment', Gallorom. * drullia pl. `waste' and like this goes back on IE * dhrus-lo- or *dhrus-li̯o-. The primary verb prob. in Germanic, e. g. Goth. driusan `fall down', prop. *`crumble (down)'. Cf. with velar suffix Latv. druska `morsel, crumb'; very uncertain however Lat. frustum `morsel'. - Whether θρυλ[λ]εῖ ταράσσει, ὀχλεῖ H. belongs here (Bechtel Lex. s. θρυλίζω), is doubtful; it may as well be an occasional use of θρυλεῖν `brag, boast'. One further wants to connect θραύω but its vowel remains unexplained, s. v., one expects * dʰreh₂-u-, for which there is no indication; one might also compare θρύπτω.
