7 ζώννυμι
Grammatical information: v.Meaning: `gird (oneself)' (Il.).Other forms: - μαι, aor. ζῶσαι, - ασθαι (Il.), fut. ζώσω, perf. med.-pass. ἔζω(σ)μαι, aor. pass. ζωσθῆναι, perf. act. ἔζωκα; - ύω (Hp.).Derivatives: 1. ( διά-, περί-, ὑπό-, σύ-)ζῶμα (hell. also ζῶσμα; s. below and Schwyzer 523) `girdle, loin-cloth' (Il.) with περιζωμάτιον `id.' (hell.) and περιζωματίας `forming a girdle' (of erysipelas; Orib.). 2. ζώνη `girdle', also `waist' (Il.) with the dimin. ζώνιον (Ar., Arist.), - άριον (Comm. in Arist.); ζων-ιαῖος `with the size of a girdle' (Ath. Mech.; on the formation Chantraine Formation 49), ζωνῖτις `striped' ( καδμεία; Dsc.); περιζώνιον, - ίδιον `dagger worn on the girdle' (hell.). 3. ζωστήρ `life-girdle' (Il.; s. v. Wilamowitz Eur. Her. 313, Trümpy, Fachausdrücke 89), often metaph., also as name of a promontory on the west side of Attica (Hdt.) with Ζωστήριος, - ια surname of Apollon and Athena (inscr. Va [Athen, Delphi; v. Wilamowitz Glaube 2, 164] etc.). 4. ζῶστρα pl. `girdle' (ζ 38), ( δια-, περι-)ζώστρα f. `loin-cloth, head-band' (hell.). 5. ζωτύς (or ζωγύς) θώραξ H. 6. (ἄ-, εὔ- etc.) ζωστός `girded' (Hes.).Etymology: The verbal adjective ζωστός has an exact parallel in Av. yāsta-, Lith. júostas, IE * ieh₃s-tos. In Balto-Slavic we find yot-presents Lith. júosiu (inf. júosti), OCS. po-jašǫ (inf. - jasati) `gird', in Iranian a secondary formation ( aiwi-)yāŋhayeiti `id.' (IE *i̯eh₃seieti). A rest of the athematic root present perhaps in (Thess.) ζούσθω ζωννύσθω H.; it agrees with OLith. 3. sg. pres. juos-ti. There is no agreement for the nasal prssent ζώννυμι \< *ζώσ-νυ-μι (on the phonetics Schwyzer 282 and 312) outside Greek. - Further close agreements are ζῶμα (\< IE *i̯eh₃s-mn̥) and Lith. juosmuõ `loin-, life-girdle' (IE i̯eh₃s-mṓ[n]), ζώνη ( *i̯eh₃s-nā) and Russ.-Csl. po-jasnь `id.'

8 πωλέω
Grammatical information: v.Meaning: `to offer for sale, to sell' (IA.).Derivatives: 1. Nom. actionis: πώλ-ησις f. `sale (X. a.o.),- ημα n. `sale, sold merchandise' (inscr. Tauro- menion a.o.); backformation -ή, Dor. -ά f. `sale' (Sophr., Hyp. fr.). 2. Nom. agentis: πωλ-ητής m. `seller', des. of a financial official (Att. etc.), also - ητήρ m. `id.' (Delph. IVa a.o.), f. - ήτρια `seller' (Poll.), λαχανο- πωλέω (Ar.) a.o.; - πώλης m., - πωλις f. unlimited productive in compounds, e.g. ἀλλαντο-πώλης `sausage-seller' with ἀλλαντο-πωλ-έω etc., ἀρτό-πωλις `bread-seller, baker' (Ar. a.o.), cf. Fraenkel Nom. ag. 2, 26 a. 109 w. n. 3, Schwyzer 451; from this as momentary formation the simplex πώλης (Ar.). 3. Nom. loci - ητήριον `selling-booth' (X. a.o.). 4. Adj. - ητικός `belonging to sale' (Pl.; Chantraine Études 134), - ιμος `for sale' (hell. pap.).Etymology: Acc. to its formation πωλέω must be an iterative-intensive deverbative, though neither in Greek nor in the related languages a corresponding primary verb can be shown with certainty. However Skt. páṇate `purchase, buy' can represent an old nasalpresent in MInd. form IE *pl̥-nā-ti). With this n-present is clearly related (except Skt. paṇa- n. `bet, stake, wages') a Balto-Slav. noun: Lith. pel̃nas `gain, profit, merit', Slav., e.g. OCS plěnъ ' λάφυρον', Russ. polón `captivity, booty'; IE * pel-no-s. From Germ. come two isolated adj.: OWNo. falr `vendible' (IE * polo-s), OHG fāli `id.' (IE *pēli̯o-s; formation like OWNo. ǣtr = Skt. ādyàs `eatable' \< IE *ēdi̯o-s); besides OHG feili, NHG feil with unexplained vocalism. Further details w. lit. in Mayrhofer s. páṇate, Fraenkel s. pel̃nas, Vasmer s. polón; older lit. in Bq and WP. 2, 51 (Pok. 804). -- Semant. πωλέω is close to ἐμπολή `trade(ware), purchase, gain' (s.v.), which is usu. connected with πέλομαι prop. *'turn (oneself)'; for πωλέω to πέλομαι Schwyzer 720. With this combination one should abandon the words mentioned above from IE * pel-. -- Cf. the lit. on πέρνημι.Page in Frisk: 2,633Greek-English etymological dictionary (Ελληνικά-Αγγλικά ετυμολογική λεξικό) > πωλέω

9 καλέω
Grammatical information: v.Meaning: `call, by name = name (verb)' (Il.)Other forms: ep. also κικλήσκω, Aeol. κάλημι, Cypr. καλήζω, aor. καλέσ(σ)αι (Il.), pass. κληθῆναι (Archil.), fut. καλέω (IA. since Γ 383), καλῶ (Att.), καλέσω (young Att., hell.), perf. med. κέκλημαι with fut. κεκλήσομαι (Il.), act. κέκληκα (Ar.).Compounds: very often with prefix, e. g. ἀνα-, ἐν-, ἐκ-, ἐπι-, παρα-, προ-, προσ-, συν-, As 1. member in καλεσσί-χορος `calling to the dance' (Orph. L. 718; Schwyzer 443f.); on ὁμο-κλη ( ὀμ-), - κλέω, - άω s. v.Derivatives: With disyll. stem: 1. καλήτωρ adjunct of κῆρυξ `Caller' (Ω 577), also as PN (Ο 419) with Καλητορίδης (Ν 541); καλη- as in καλή-μεναι (Κ 125; Aeol. athemat. formation?), perhaps after κλη- (Schulze Q. 16f., Fraenkel Nom. ag. 1, 17), if not metrically lenghtned (Solmsen Unt. 17); diff. again Schwyzer 531 n. 7 (after καλέω etc. for κλη-); thus 2. Καλήσιος (Ζ 18); 3. κάλεσις = κλῆσις, `nominative' (gramm.). - With monosyll. stem: 4. κλῆσις `call, invitation, summons etc.' (Att. hell.), often from the prefixed verbs, e. g. ἐπίκλη-σις `surname' (Il.); 5. - κλημα, e. g. ἔγκλη-μα `reproach, accusation' (Att.) with ἐγκλήμων, - ματικός, - ματίζω etc. 6. κλητήρ, - ῆρος `herald, witness' (A., Att.); ὁμοκλη-τήρ `who calls' (Il.) from ὁμοκλη, - έω (s. v.); ἀνακλητήρια n. pl. `feast when a king is nominated' (Plb.); 7. κλήτωρ, - ορος `witness', also PN (hell.), after κλητήρ (Fraenkel Nom. ag. 1, 17f.; on καλήτωρ: κλητήρ Benveniste Noms d'agent 29, 40, 46). - 8. κλητός `called, invited, wellcome' (Hom.; Ammann Μνήμης χάριν 1, 14 a. 21) with κλητεύω `call to justice etc.' (Att.), ( ἀνα- etc.) - κλη-τικός; often from the prefixed verbs, e. g. ἔκκλη-τος ` called in' (IA. Dor.) with the collective abstract ἐκκλησία `(called) meeting' (IA.), `community, church' (LXX, NT); with ἐκκλησι-άζω and - αστής, - ασμός etc.; with nominal 1. member as compound [Zusammenbildung] in πολύ-κλη-τος `often called', i. e. `called on from many sides ' (Δ 438, Κ 420; diff., not convincing, Kronasser Sprache 3, 172f.). - 9. κλή-δην `by name' (Ι 11; cf. ἐξονομακλήδην); 10. ἐπίκλη-ν ` with (sur)name' (Pl.; Schwyzer 425). - Deverbative formation καλιστρέω = καλέω (D. 47, 60 from Harp., Call.; prob. first from a noun, cf. ἐλαστρέω and Schwyzer 706). - On κληΐζω, κληδών ( κλεη-, κληη-) s. κλέος.Etymology: The disyll. verbal stem in καλέ-σαι (analogical καλέσσαι), as in ὀλέ-σαι, ἀρό-σαι etc. (Schwyzer 752); with κλη- in κέ-κλη-μαι, κι-κλή-σκω, κλη-τός compare βλη- in βέ-βλη-μαι, βλη-τός, from zero grade *kl̥h₁-. Beside monosyllabic κλη- (beside καλέ-σαι) Latin has clā- ( clā- mare, clā- rus; beside calā-re). The present καλέ-ω is no doubt an innovation, prob. to καλέσαι (Fraenkel Mélanges Boisacq 1, 367; diff. on καλέω, καλέσαι Specht KZ 59, 85ff.). - (Not cognate are κέλαδος ` noise'.) The α-vowel in καλέ-σαι will go back to a sonantic l̥ ; the same vowel is found in Italic, Lat. calāre ` declare', Umbr. kařetu (\< * kalē- tōd); further the not fully explained OHG, OS halōn `call, fetch' (= calāre), Hitt. kalleš- `call', Skt. uṣā- kal-a- `call' (s. ἠϊκανός). As in the semant. close IE. * kan- (s. καναχή) the a is clearly very old (is it connected with the onomatop. charcater of the verb?). - Forms in Pok. 548ff.; further W.-Hofmann and Ernout-Meillet s. calō.Page in Frisk: 1,762-763Greek-English etymological dictionary (Ελληνικά-Αγγλικά ετυμολογική λεξικό) > καλέω

10 κέλλω
Grammatical information: v.Meaning: `drive (on) (tr. a. intr.), move, put (a ship) to shore, land',Other forms: (gramm.), aor. κέλσαι (Od.; on the phonetics Schwyzer 285), fut. κέλσω (A., E.), κελῶ (H.)Compounds: also with prefix, esp. ὀ-κέλλω, aor. ὀκεῖλαι (IA.), rarely ἐπι-, ἐγ-, εἰσ-, συγ-κέλσαι (ep., also Hp., Ar.), ἐπ-έκειλα Act. Ap. 27, 41.Derivatives: Beside it κέλομαι (Il., Dor.), aor. ( ἐ)κέκλετο (Il.) with new present κέκλομαι (A. R.), ( ἐ)κελήσατο (Pi., Epich., Epid.), fut. κελήσομαι (κ 296), rarely with ἐπι-, παρα-, `drive on, exhort, call'. Further athematic κέντο (Alcm. 141) \< *κέλτο (on the phonetics Schwyzer 213, on the formation ibd. 678f.). - Derivv. κέλης, κελεύω, κλόνος, s. vv.Etymology: κέλλω (yot-present) and κέλομαι, which are semantically close, exist unmixed side by side. That they are cognate is mostly not doubted, though for κέλομαι the meaning `call to' reminds of καλεῖν (thus Fraenkel Mélanges Boisacq 1, 367f., Specht KZ 59, 86ff.); but this meaning could have developed from `drive on, invite, summon. request' secondarily. - The other languages have no forms that agree closely with the Greek ones. Semantically closest is the secondary present Skt. kalayati ( kāl-) `drives'. Note also the root aorist Toch. A śäl, B śala `he brought', pl. kalar, śälāre (Pedersen Tocharisch 183ff.), with a nā- present källāṣ, källāṣṣäṃ; neither meaning nor form however is clear. The same holds for Alb. qil `bring, carry' and for Germ., e. g. Goth haldan `βόσκειν, ποιμαίνειν', NHG halten. A nominal formation one might compare is Lat. celer `quick'; (quite uncertain however is Lat. celeber `populous, abounding in'. - Inspite of the differences in meaning one usually assumes that they have the same root (DELG). Connections with other languages are few and rather doubtful. Further there is the problem of ὀ-, which is assumed in ὄζος etc. The meaning of ( ὀ)κέλλω `run a ship aground', the usual way of landing (except in a harbour) is so concrete that I would assume a separate verb, but I see no further indications that the verb is Pre-Greek; perh. the ὀ- is Pre-Greek.Page in Frisk: 1,817-818Greek-English etymological dictionary (Ελληνικά-Αγγλικά ετυμολογική λεξικό) > κέλλω

(Arist., hell.). Non-pres. forms: 1. - κναῖσαι, - κναισθῆναι, - κναίσω, - κεκναισμένος (Ar., E. in lyr., Pl.,Theoc.); more usual (as simpl. a. comp.) 2. κνῆσαι, Dor. opt. midd. (Theoc.) κνάσαιο, κνησθῆναι, κνήσω, κέκνησμαι (IA.).Derivatives: Action nouns: 1. κνῆσις `scratching, tickling' (Pl.) with κνησιάω `desire to tickle' (Ar., Pl.), also κνηστιάω `id.' (Gal., Jul.; after the verbs in - τιάω) and κνηθιάω `id.' (Hdn., EM; after κνήθω, cf. Schwyzer 732). 2. κνῆσμα (rarely κνῆμα) `id.' (Hp., X.); 3. κνησμονή `id.' (medic.; πῆμα: πημονή etc.); 4. κνησμός `id.' (Hp., Arist.) with κνησμώδης `affected with itching' (Hp., Arist., Str.). 5. κνηθμός `itching' (Nic.). - Agent nouns and instruments: 6. κνῆστις f. (from *κνήστης m.) `knife for scratching, cheese-grater' (Λ 640, Nic., Opp.), also `spine' (κ 161; cf. ἄκνηστις s.v.); diff. on κνῆστις z. B. Fraenkel Glotta 4, 41ff., Benveniste Noms d'agent 77; 7. κνηστήρ `scratching knife' (Nic.). 8. κνηστίς -ίδος f. `hollow hair-pin' (Plu.). 9. κνῆστρον `stinging plant, Daphne oleoides, θυμελαία' (Hp., Dsc.); κνηστρίον `scraper', ( Edict. Diocl.). - Adj. 10. κνηστικός `scratching, itching' (Sch.).Origin: PG [a word of Pre-Greek origin]X [probably]Etymology: Of the presents κναίειν, κνῆν, κνήθειν the last can be an innovation to κνῆ-σαι etc. after πλῆ-σαι: πλή-θ-ω, λῆ-σαι: λήθ-ω a. o. The pair κνῆν: κναίειν agrees with the semantically close ψῆν: ψαίειν. - One compares several words with initial IE. * k(e)n- but with different forms, which is not surprising in view of the emotional value of expressions for `scratch, grate'. With κνῆ-ν (prob. orig. athematic; Schwyzer 675f., Chantraine Gramm. hom. 1, 297 a. 307) from IE. * knē- agree best in Baltic and Germanic Lith. kn(i)ó-tis `peek (oneself) off, get loose', OHG nuoen `make smooth by scratching, fit exactly' (with OHG hnuo `joint, groove' etc.) from IE. * knō-? (cf. κνώ-δ-αλον?), perh. * knā- as in Alb. krromë `scab, mange' form IE. *knā-mn̥ (Gr. κνῆμα is independent). Lat. cnāsonas however, acc. pl. `scratching nails' (Paul. Fest. 52) from hell. *κνά̄σων `scratcher' ( κνᾶσαι ὀλέσαι, λυπῆσαι H.); cf. Leumann Sprache 1, 207. - The - αι- in κναίω however has no direct counterpart (Lith. knaisýti is secondary to knìsti `scratch', s. κνίζω). Connecting κνῆ-ν and κναί-ειν to an old paradigma (* knē[i]-mi: knǝi-mé (Schwyzer 676; cf. Specht Ursprung 325; the last form is impossible since the laryngeal theory) is quite hypothetical. - Cf. κνίζω, κνύω, κνάπτω; κνώδαλον, κνήφη, κνέωρος and κόνις; s. Pok. 559ff., Fraenkel Lit. et. Wb. s. knablỹs. - Strangely enough it has not been proposed that the words could well be Pre-Greek; the meaning makes this quite possible; the connections in Pok. 599 are far from convincing. Cf. also κναδάλλεται κνήθεται H., with which compare γνάφαλλον, γνόφαλον, which are clearly Pre-Greek (s.s.v. κνάπτω); is κναδ- a variant of κνηθ-? For κναδ- no PIE prefrom can be reconstructed (cf. on γνάθος). Note that Kuiper assumed that words with kn- in Germanic were prob. substrate, NOWELE 25 (1995) 68 a.70. The formation of κνήσων (and the Latin loan cnāsōn- cited above) seems non-IE; cf. DELG s.v.

Verb: κρατέω (Il.), Aeol. κρετέω, aor. κρατῆσαι (posthom.), κρέτησαι (Sapph.), often with prefix, e.g. ἐπι-, κατα-, περι-, `controll, possess, rule, conquer'; with ( ἐπι- etc.) κράτησις `power, rule' (Th., LXX), ( δια-, ἐπι-) κρατητικός `controlling' (late), ( δια-)κράτημα `support, grip' (medic.); κρατητής `possessor' (Procl.); κρατῆρας τοὺς κρατοῦντας H. for κρατητῆρας (Lewy KZ 59, 182). But ἐγκρατέω from ἐγ-κρατής, ναυ-κρατέω, - τία from ναυ-κρατής etc.; s. above. καρταίνειν κρατεῖν H. -- 8. On κρατευταί s. v.Etymology: With the full grade in Aeol. κρέτος interchanges regularly the zero grade in κρατύς, κάρτα (on ρα: αρ Schwyzer 342). Through analogy arose both κράτος, κάρτος and the compp. κάρρων \< *κάρσ(σ)ων \< *κάρτι̯ων and κάρτων beside the old fullgrade κρέσσων \< *κρέτι̯ων; details in Seiler Steigerungsformen 53 ff. A zero grade of the σ-stem in κρέτος is supposed in Κρεσ-φόντης ( \< *Κρετσ-; Kretschmer Glotta 24, 237, Heubeck Beitr. z. Namenforsch. 5, 26). - The relation of the forms is not always clear. The adjective κρατερός, καρτερός may conrain a alternating ρ-stem (Benveniste Origines 17, Leumann Hom. Wörter 115), if it is not an analogical innovation to κράτος, κρατέω (e.g. Schwyzer 482). The form Κρατι-, Καρτι-, which appears only in PN, will not be old (like e.g. in κυδι-άνειρα: κῦδος), but rest on analogy (after Άλκι-, Καλλι- a. o.; Frisk Nom. 70). On κάρτα cf. e.g. τάχα, ἅμα. The 1. member κραται- may have been built after παλαι- a. o.; and κραταιός after παλαιός? (cf. Schwyzer 448). Diff. Risch 117: κραταιός back formation to κραταιή for *κράταια, fem. to κρατύς ( Πλαταιαί: πλατύς). Also κρατέω is discussed. Against the obvious explanation as denominative of κράτος (Schwyzer 724; κρατῆσαι only posthom.) see Leumann Hom. Wörter 113ff.; he assumes in κρατέω a backformation to ἐπικρατέω from ἐπι-κρατής (Hom. only adv. ἐπικρατέως). Again diff. Specht KZ 62, 35 ff. - An exact agreement to κράτος etc. is not found. Close are Skt. krátu- m. `power, mind, will', Av. xratu- m. `id.'. The objections that the Indo-Ir. word indicates primarily spiritual qualities ar refuted by OE cræft ` Kraft, physical strength, power', also `insight, craft etc.'. The Germanic word for `hard', Got. hardus etc., which is usually adduced, differs in vowel (IE *kortú- against *kr̥tú- to * kret-). - Cf.

14 οἶτος
Grammatical information: m.Meaning: `fate of men, (unfortunate) destiny' (Il., trag. in lyr.).Compounds: As 2. member in μεγάλ-οιτος `burdened with a heavy fate, unhappy' (Theoc.) and in PN, e.g. Έχ-οίτης (Athens; Bechtel Namenst. 25, cf. also Hist. PN 345); as 1. member in Οἰτό-λινος m. "Fate-linos" (Sapph. 140b, from Pamphos).Etymology: Not certainly explained. Formally very close and semantically possible, but of course uncertain is connection of οἶ-τος (on the formation Schwyzer 501) with ἰ-έναι `go' (Brugmann IF 37, 241 a.o.); then prop. `course (of the world)'. An identical formation is supposed in he Celtogerm. word for `oath', OIr óeth, Germ., e.g. Goth. aiÞs, OHG eid (e.g. Meringer IF 18, 295), if orig. `(Eid)gang' (walk to confirm an oath); cf. Swed. ed-gång. Av. aēta- m. `punishment, guilt', by Bartholomae IF 12, 139 identified with οἶτος (prop. `part, share'), can, as not to be separated from αἰσα, αἰτία etc. (s. vv. a. αἴνυμαι), because of the deviating vowel hardly at the same time belong to it (ablaut ai: oi \< h₂ei\/ h₂oi is possible). -- Details w. rich lit. in WP. 1, 102f.

πρόσθε(ν)Grammatical information: Adv. a. prep. w. gen.Meaning: `ahead, before, formerly, yore; in front of' (Il., IA.)Compounds: Also combined with other adv. (prep.), e.g. ἔμ-προσθε(ν), - θα `in front (of), before' (IA. resp. Dor. Aeol.) with ἐμπρόσθ-ιος `in the front', esp. of bodyparts (Hdt., Att., Arist.), - ίδιος `id.' (A. D., pap.), ἐπί-προσθεν `close before, near' Att., hell.) with ἐπιπροσθ-έω `to be in the way, in front of it, to hinder, to cover' (Hp., hell.), ὑπό-προσθε `just before' (Hp.) with ὑπαπροσθ-ίδιος `earlier (immigrated), older inhabintant' (Locr.).Derivatives: πρόσθ-ιος `in the front', esp. of bodyparts (Hdt. as v. l., trag., Arist.; cf. ἐμπρόσθιος above), - ίδιος `id.' (Nonn.), προστ-ίζιος = προσθ-ίδιος `earlier, the former' (El.).Origin: IE [Indo-European] or GR [a formation built with Greek elements] [000]Etymology: Formation in - θε(ν), - θα, because of the meaning and spread hardly with Kretschmer Glotta 1, 55 from πρός, but rather from πρό with analog. - σ- ( πρό-θεν only Greg. Cor.). Example hardly ὄπισθεν, as this seems to stand itself for ὄπι-θεν (rather the other way round ὄπισθεν after πρόσθεν). So after ἔκτοσ-θε(ν), ἔντοσ-θε(ν) (cf. Schwyzer 628) or to πρόσ(σ)-ω (cf.

16 σκολύπτειν
Grammatical information: v.Compounds: Often with ἀπο- `to skin, to strip off, to circumcise' (Archil. 124, S. Fr. 423, Ael. Dion. a.o.); details in Debrunner IF 21, 212 and Pearson on the place in Soph.Origin: PG [a word of Pre-Greek origin]Etymology: Formation like δρύπτω, καλύπτω (hardly denominative with Schwyzer 705); popular-expressiv to the group of σκάλλω (s. v.). The formally close σκολύφρα σκυθρωπή, σκληρά, ἐργώδης, δυσχερής is semant. far off. -- A cognate formation may be found in σκόλυθρον (s. v.). -- The variation of - βρ-\/- φρ-) points to a Pre-Greek form (Furnée 171), whatever its relation to σκολύπτειν.

17 σμύ̄χω
σμύ̄χωGrammatical information: v.Meaning: `to cause to carbonise, to be consumed in a slow fire, to smoulder away', midd. `to carbonise, to smoulder'; on the use in Homer Graz Le feu dans l'Il. et l'Od. 250 ff.Other forms: Aor. σμῦξαι (ep. since Il., late prose), pass. σμυχθῆναι (Theoc.), quite uncertain ἀποσμυγέντες (Luc. D Mort. 6, 3; s. Pisani Ist. Lomb. 73: 2, 31 ff.), perf. κατεσμυγμένη (Hld.).Derivatives: None.Etymology: Formation like τρύχω, ψύχω; the late ἀποσμυγέντες, if at all here (s. ab.), is an analogical formation (cf. Schwyzer 760). Beside the primary σμύχω stands in Arm. a noun moux, gen. mx-oy `smoke' from IE *( s)mūkho- (Meillet MSL 8, 294 with Bugge). A close counterpart is Celt. with OIr. mūch, Welsh mwg `fire' (IE *mū̆k(h)-; Fick 2, 218). In Germ. there is a primary verb with diphthong and final IE media, e. g. OE smēocan `smoke, fumigate' (IE * smeug-), beside zero grade smoca m. (IE * smug-on-), smocian ' smoke' (Zupitza Germ. Gutt. 166; on the media in the doubtful ἀποσμυγέντες s. ab.). One adduced further from Balt.-Slav. Lith. smáug-iu, -ti `strangle, string together, plague' (prop. *by smoke?), which prob. must be explained diff. (s. Fraenkel s. v. w. lit.), Russ. etc. smúglyj `dark, brown' (prop. *"the colour of smoke"?; other interpretations possible, s. Vasmer s. v.). Uncertain and ambiguous also two Arm. adj.: murk, gen. mrk-oy `singing' (IE *( s)mugro-[?]), moyg `brown, dark' (IE *( s)mougho-[?]); s. H.
