Origin: IE [Indo-European] [376] *ǵenh₃- `recognize, get to know'

Etymology: γιγνώσκω resembles Lat. ( g)nōscō, OP xšnāsa- in xšnāsāhiy `you shall recognize' (subj.) etc., also Alb. ńoh, but these have full grade *ǵneh₃- whereas Greek probably has zero *ǵn̥h₃-sk-; so γνωτός resembles Lat. nōtus, Skt. jñātá- (and OIr. gnāth `known', Toch. B a-knātse `unknowing'), but the Greek form is rather *ǵn̥h₃tos. Cf. further OCS znajǫ, znati `recognize'. On ἀγνοέω s. above; on γέγωνα s. v. Old ablaut e.g. in Goth. kann, pl. kunnum, ptc. kunÞs `known' (*ǵnh₃-to); (unclear OE. cnāwan `know'); Lith. žénklas `token' (with acute from *ǵenh₃-), pa-žìntas `known', Arm. aor. can-eay `I recognized' (zero grade). - With γνώριμος cf. Lat. gnārus \< *ǵnh₃-ro. - γνῶσις = Lat. nōti-ō = Skt. -jñāti- can be independent formations.

νήφω Ch. 3, 134

Grammatical information: v.

Meaning: `be sober, fast', often metaph.

Other forms: Dor. νάφω, in the older language only present, mostly in ptc. (IA., Thgn., Archil.), aor. νῆψαι (J., 1. Ep. Pet. 4, 7).

Compounds: Also w. prefix, e.g. ἀνα-, ἐκ-.

Derivatives: 1. νήφων, - ονος in νήφονες νήφοντες H., dat. pl. νήφοσι (Thgn.); 2. νηφάλιος `without wine', of drink-offerings etc. (A.), later also of persons `fasten' (Ph., J.) with νηφαλιεύω `bring a drinkoffering without wine' (Poll.), νηφαλίζω in νηφαλισμένον ὕδατι, οὑκ οἴνῳ ἡγνισμένον H.; besides νηφαλιεύς surn. of Apollon (AP 9, 525, 14: - έα, metr. enlargement at verse-end, cf. Bosshardt 70); also νηφαλέος (Hdn. Gr., Ph.; after αὑαλέος etc., Debrunner IF 23, 17 f.) and νηφαντικός `sobering' (Pl. Phlb. 61, Porph.) as from *νηφαίνω; cf. e.g. σημαλέος: σημαντικός; on the suffixchange λ: ν in gen. s. e.g. Schwyzer 483, Benveniste Origines 45 f. -- Verbal noun νῆψις f. `soberness' (Plb., Str.).

Origin: IE [Indo-European]X [probably] [754] *?? `sober'

Etymology: Of νήφω, νάφω reminds Arm. nawt'i `sober' (Pedersen KZ 39, 349), but the phonetical, morphological and semantic interpretation of the Armenian form is unclear. Arm. nawt'i is prob. i- (i̯o-)deriv. of an unattested noun * nawt', which formally agrees to canawt `known' (to the aor. can-eay, pres. čanač̣em `recognise', s. γιγνώσκω) and like this must have a dental suffix; even the semantic relation is unclear, De Lamberterie, RPh. 72 (1998)134 (= DELG Suppl.); cf. Clackson 1994, 154ff; even the long a of Greek is doubted; so de L. prefers to connect Lat. ēbrius and reconstructs *n̥-h₁gʷʰon-. -- Given the preponderance of the nominal forms (including the ptc. νήφων) as also the meaning one might think that the relatively rare present νήφω (with secondary νῆψαι) was a denominative and to start from a noun *νᾱφ(ο-) v.t. (cf. for the type Schwyzer 722f.), to which there was an l \/ n-stem νηφ-άλ-ιος, νήφ-ον-. -- OHG nuoh-turn `sober', earlier conidered a testimony for an IE * nāgʷʰ-, remains far as LW [loanword] (Lat. nocturnus), s. WP. 2, 317 w. further lit.

Origin: IE [Indo-European] [825] * pet(h₂)- `fly'

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. Here further Toch. B parwa pl. `feathers'; cf. v. Windekens Orbis 11, 194. -- Further details w. rich lit. in WP. 2, 20f., Pok. 826, W.-Hofmann s. accipiter, penna, prōtervus, Mayrhofer s. pataráḥ, pátram, parṇám, Vasmer s. peró; also Specht 216f. (much that is uncertain).
