To κόρος ( κοῦρος, κῶρος) `youth' and κόρη `young girl' s. esp. κόρος m. `satiaty, be satiated, surfeit, insolence' (Il.);Origin: IE [Indo-European] [577] *ḱerh₁- `fodder, (let) grow'Etymology: The starting point of the whole paradigm is clearly the aorist κορέσαι, - ασθαι, to which the other forms were successively added: pass. κορε-σ-θῆναι (Chantraine Gramm. hom. 1, 406), perf. κεκόρημαι, - εσμαι (Schwyzer 773), fut. κορέω, - έσω, lastly also the different, sparsely attested presents κορίσκομαι, κορέω, - έσκω, - έννυμι. The verb was prob. orig. because of the perfective aspect limited to the aorist; for an old present *κόρνυμι (Schwyzer 697; as στόρνυμι) there is no support. - The ο-vowel, which is found also in στορέσαι, with the same building, and in θορεῖν, μολεῖν, πορεῖν, is not convincingly explained (attempts in Schwyzer 360f. and Sánchez Ruipérez Emerita 18, 386ff.); with the disyllabic κορέ-σαι agrees elsewhere acute Lith. šér-ti `fodder' (from *ḱerh₁-), with which one connected the old s-stem in Lat. Cerēs `goddess of the growth of plants', and also Arm. ser `origin, gender, offspring' (IE. *ḱéros n. transformed to an o-stem). - The other forms, e. g. Lat. creō `create', crēscō `grow', Arm. sermn `seed', Alb. thjer `acorn', prop. "fodder" (Pok. 577, W.-Hofmann and Ernout-Meillet s. Cerēs, creō), are unimportant for Greek. - With the meanings `satiate, fodder, let grow', cf. the similar meanings of Lat. alō.Page in Frisk: 1,918-919Greek-English etymological dictionary (Ελληνικά-Αγγλικά ετυμολογική λεξικό) > κορέννυμι

Simplex ναέτης, Dor. - τας `inhabitant' (poet. since Simon.), f. ναιέτις (Call.); second. ( ἐν-)ναετήρ m. `id.' (AP), f. ἐνναέτειρα ( APl.).Origin: XX [etym. unknown]Etymology: On μετανάστης s. v. The causative meaning of νάσσαι is prob. arisen from the opposition to intr. νασθῆναι. The meaning `be situated', often with ναιετάω, esp. in εὖ ναιετάων, rarely with ναίω, is not convincingly explained; perh. we must start from the ptc. εὖ ναιετάων prop. `where one lives well' with the same shift as e.g. in ὁ ἐπιβάλλων `whom it is well' w.o. (type café chantant, s. Debrunner Mus. Helv. 1, 31 ff.); from the ptc. the use might have shifted to the finite forms, sometimes to the primary ναίω. Leumann Hom. Wörter 191 ff. tries to explain the remarkable meaning from a wrong interpretation of Γ 387; against this Fraenkel Gnomon 23, 374. The verbal stem νασ- ( ναίω \< *νάσ-ι̯ω) is isolated.

(Thphr.) with νεάσιμος (Gloss.; Arbenz 87).Etymology: If νειόθεν, νείατος, νείαιρα are at all cognate with νειός, νειός (sc. γῆ, χώρα), it must have meant prop. *'lying low, lowlying plain'; the meaning `fallow land', which is also possible for Homer, but not compulsory (rather `field, plain' ?), could rest on the early connection with νέος `new'; cf. Lat. novalis, -e `fallow land'. -- Except for the ending νειός \< *νειϜός can be identical with a Slavic word fur `field', e.g. OCS njiva (with dark nj-), Russ. níva f., IE *neiu̯ó-s (Slav. -ā secondary); Fick BB 1, 335f., Schulze KZ 27, 603f. (= Kl. Schr. 373f.). If we separate a formantic u̯o-element, we can connect the IE adv. *ni `low' in Skt. ní etc.; here a.o. OHG ni-dar `to below', OE neowol `slanting' from * ni-wol (cf. νει-Ϝό-ς). The writing νη- in νήϊστος, νήατος is not convincingly explained. As old lengthened grade, esp. in a superlative, is very improbable, the η must be secondary.

H.) `to bite, to gnaw' (cf. λακτίζω: λάξ); ἀδακτῶ κνήθομαι H. 2. ὀδάξ-ομαι, -ω, - άομαι (- έομαι), - άω, also ἀδάξομαι, - άομαι, fut. - ήσομαι, perf. ptc. ὠδαγμένος (S.), aor. ὠδάξατο (AP); ὠδάγμην ἐκνησάμην H. `to scratch oneself, to be itching, to be scratchy, to itch, to scratch, to gnaw'; ὀδάξει τοῖς ὀδοῦσι δάκνει H.; ὀδαγμός (ἀ-, S. Tr. 770), ὀδαξ-ησμός (Hp., Ph., Plu.) `itch', - ητικός (Poll.), - ώδης (Aret.) `scratchy, to cause itch'. -- 3. ἀδαχεῖ `scratches, itches' (Ar. Fr. 410), ἀδαχᾳ̃ κνᾳ̃, κνήθει κεφαλήν, ψηλαφᾳ̃ H.Origin: PG [a word of Pre-Greek origin]Etymology: Both ὀδακ-τάζω, - τίζω and ὀδάξει in H. can be derived from ὀδάξ `with the teeth'. But the earlier and better attested ὀδάξ-ομαι, - άομαι as well as ἀδαχ-εῖ, -ᾳ̃ deviate considerably in meaning. As for the oldest attestations of ὀδάξ (Il.) a meaning `with the teeth' is not directly evident (but it seems possible), Bechtel Lex. wants to render ὀδάξ in these places after ὀδάξομαι with `itching, scratching'; agreeing Wackernagel Unt. 157, WP. 1, 791, Hofmann Et. Wb. The later meaning `with the teeth' would have arisen from a folketymological connection with ὀδών and δάκνω. (The connection suggested by Bechtel (after Fick) with Germ., e.g. Os. bi-tengi `nahe an einen rührend' a.o. is not convincing however; cf. WP. l.c.) -- Whether ὀδάξ, if orig. `biting together, with the teeth' (on -ξ cf. λάξ w. lit.), started from ὀδών in connection with δάκνω or, the other way round, from δάκνω in connection with ὀδών, can hardly be decided; cf. beside the lit. in Bq and Bechtel also Güntert Reimwortbildungen 153, Winter Prothet. Vokal 22. Bechtel Lex. and Schwyzer-Debrunner 491 assume a prefix ὀ-, not very convincingly. The forms with ἀ- may rest on vowelassimilation (Schmidt KZ 32, 391 f.); the aspiration in ἀδαχ-ᾳ̃, - εῖ must not be explained as analogical (Schmidt l.c.; rejected by Bechtel). Cf. s.v. ἀδαγμός. So we can conclude that the orig. reading was ἀδαγ-; as the word was less well known, it was at one time replaced by ὀδ-.Page in Frisk: 2,348-349Greek-English etymological dictionary (Ελληνικά-Αγγλικά ετυμολογική λεξικό) > ὀδάξ

Schwyzer 271 Zus. 2 w. lit., 746 n. 6 and Chantraine Gramm. hom. 1, 451. -- The pair πί̄πτω (with ī after ῥί̄πτω?): πετεῖν agrees with γίγνομαι: γενέσθαι; to this the disyllabic fut. πεσέ-ομαι for *πετέ-[σ]ομαι and the full grades πτω-, πτη- in πέ-πτω-κα, πτῶ-μα, - σις, πε-πτη-ώς cannot be compared with γενέ-τωρ, γνή-σιος which has *ǵenh₁-, ǵn̥h₁- (not here γνωτός?; s. on γίγνομαι), s. Schwyzer 746, 784 a. 360. The origin of the alternative root forms is not well known. An innovation is πίτ-νω (- νῶ) with ι as in several ν-presents (Schwyzer 695). -- The whole system is a specific Greek development of the old verb also found in πέτομαι `fly'; the meaning `fall' is also found a.o. in Skt. pátati. A point of contact show the fut. *πετέ-[σ]ομαι: Skt. pati-ṣyáti; morpholog. close are also πότμος and Skt. pát-man- n. `flight, course, path' (would be Gr. *πέτμα). -- Further s. πέτομαι; cf. also πτήσσω and πίτυλος (which hardly belongs here).Page in Frisk: 2,542-543Greek-English etymological dictionary (Ελληνικά-Αγγλικά ετυμολογική λεξικό) > πί̄πτω

Snell 153ff.).Dialectal forms: Myc. potorijo has been interpreted as *Πτολίων.Compounds: As 1. member e.g. in πτολί-πορθος (- πόρθιος, - πόρθης) `sacking cities, destroyer of cities' (ep. Il.); enlarged in IA. πολιοῦχος (from - ιο-ουχ.); Dor. πολι-ά̄-οχος, - ιᾶχος, ep. πολι-ή-οχος `ruling a city, city protector'; in A. also the unexplained πολισσο- in πολισσοῦχος, πολισσο-νομέω. Very often as 2. member, e.g. ἀκρο-πολις = πόλις ἄκρη `upper town, citadel' (Od.); on this and on the other compp. Risch IF 59, 261 ff.Derivatives: 1. expressive enlargement πτολί-εθρον n. (ep. Il.); cf. μέλαθρον, θέμεθλα, ἔδεθλον (Schwyzer 533). 2. Diminut. πολίχνη f., often as PlN (IA.) with - ίχνιον (Att.); πολίδιον (ῑ̆) n. (Str.). 3. Πολιεύς (- ηύς) m. `city guardian' (Thera before Va, Arist., hell.; Bosshardt 60); f. Πολιάς (IA., Arg.). 4. πολίτης (ῑ; ep., Sapph., Att.), πολι-ά̄-τας, - ή-της (Dor. Aeol., Β 806, Ion.; after οἰκιά-τας, - ιή-της a.o.) m. `citizen, townsman', f. - ῖτις (S., E., Pl.); from this πολιτ-ικός `civic, political' (Hdt. 7, 103, Att.; Chantraine Études 123); - εύομαι, - εύω `to be citizen, to take part in state affairs' (Att. etc.; πολιατεύω Gortyn) with - εία, Ion. - ηίη, - ευμα (Hdt., Att.; on the meaning Wilhelm Glotta 14, 78ff., 83f., Papazoglou REGr. 72, 100ff. resp. Ruppel Phil. 82, 268ff., Engers Mnem. 54, 154ff.); also πολιτισμός `administration' (D. L.; - ισμός analog., Chantraine Form. 143). 5. Denominat. πολίζω, aor. - ίσ(σ)αι, rare a. late with ἐν-, συν- a.o., `to found (a city), to cultivate a place by founding a city' (ep. Ion., X.) with πόλ-ισμα `foundation (of a city)' (Ion. poet., Th.; Chantraine Form. 189), - ισμάτιον (hell.), - ισμός `foundation of a city' (D. H., Lyd.), - ιστής `founder of a city' (Poll. 9, 6; rejected).Etymology: The byform πτόλις (also Arc. Πτόλις, name of the castle in Mantinea; Thess. οἱ ττολίαρχοι w. assim.) is not convincingly explained. Hypotheses w. further details in Schwyzer 325 (w. lit.); further Kretschmer Glotta 22, 206, Deroy Ant. class. 23, 305ff., Merlingen Μνήμης χάριν 2, 57, Ruijgh L'élém. ach. 75ff., 112 n. 4 (cf. also on πτόλεμος). To be rejected the identification of πόλις from *pu̯olis with Arm. k'alak` `town' (Winter Lang. 31,8).-- Old word for `castle, refugecastle', except in Greek further only in the east attested (cf. Kretschmer Glotta 22, 107, Porzig Gliederung 173): Skt. pū́r f., acc. púr-am, Lith. pilìs f. Both the Skt. and the Lith. word show zero grade, which has also been considered possible for πόλις (Schwyzer 344); the i-stem in πόλ-ις and pil-ìs is secondary enlargement. Thee repeated proposals, to connect this very ancient word for `citadel' with the verb for `fill' ( πίμπλημι; since Pott) or for `dump' (Lith. pìlti; Fick; lastly Fraenkel Zeitschr. slav. Phil. 6, 91), has as unproven hypothesis not much interest. -- WP. 2, 51, Pok. 799, Mayrhofer and Fraenkel s. vv. w. further details a. lit.Page in Frisk: 2,576-577Greek-English etymological dictionary (Ελληνικά-Αγγλικά ετυμολογική λεξικό) > πόλις

16 σατράπης
σατράπης, - ουGrammatical information: m.Meaning: "satrap", governor of the Persian king (since X.).Derivatives: σατραπ-ικός `belonging to the satrap' (Arist. etc.), f. - ίς (Philostr.), - εύω `to be a satrap, to rule as a satrap' (X. etc.) with - εία, Ion. - ηΐη f. `the office, the province of a satrap, satrapy' (since Hdt.); - εῖα n. pl. `the palace of a satrap' (Hld.).Origin: LW [a loanword which is (probably) not of Pre-Greek origin] Iran.Etymology: From OIran. * xšaʮra-pā- `protecting the empire' (OP xšaça-pāvan-), from xšaʮra- (s. on κτάομαι) and pāiti (s. on ποιμήν). The not rare, often attested forms in inscriptions ξατρ-, ἐξα(ι)τρ-, ἐξαιθρ- (also σαδρ-) represent partly the OP xš- and the internal dental more exactly (s. Eilers-Mayrhofer Sprache 6, 120 n. 59 [p. 121], Brandenstein Sprachgesch. und Wortbed. 60), but are also folketymolog. conditioned: ἐξατρ- after ἐξ-; cf. Schwyzer 206 a. 329. The αι-diphthong is by Kretschmer Sprache 2, 70 with Lehmann-Haupt P. -W. s. Satrap col. 84 hardly convincingly derived from an unattested OIran. mixed form. -- Cf. also Skt. kṣatrapa- a. o., s.

17 σπᾰτάλη
Grammatical information: f.Meaning: `lavish, lascivious way of life, debauchery, luxury', also of luxurious objects, `adornment, bracelet, anklet' (LXX, hell. inscr., AP etc.).Derivatives: Dimin. Lat. spata-lium n. `bracelet' (Juba ap. Plin., inscr.). Denominative verb σπαταλ-άω ( κατα-), aor. - ῆσαι `to live lavishly, lasciviously' (Plb., LXX, NT a. o.) with - ημα n. (AP). Backformation (Schwyzer 483) σπαταλός (- αλος) `lavish, lascivious' (AP a.o.).Origin: PG [a word of Pre-Greek origin] (V)Etymology: Popular word. If, as seems prob., originally an abstract, σπατάλη can as to its meaning be compared with κραιπάλη, δαιταλ-εύς; further connection uncertain. Perhaps to σπάω `draw in, suck', of wine etc.; e.g. ἔσπασεν ἄμυ-στιν ἑλκύσας (E. Kyk. 417); cf. also σπάσει πίνειν (Arist.). On the - τ- cf. σπατίζει... ἕλκει H. -- To be rejeceted Neumann Heth. u. luw. Sprachgut 88 f.: σπαταλός (backformation; s. ab.) from Hitt. * išpatalla- `who gladly, and often, eats to the full' from išpāi- `eat to be satiated'. -- Furnée 154, 179 connects convincingly βάταλος; so the word is Pre-Greek.Page in Frisk: 2,759Greek-English etymological dictionary (Ελληνικά-Αγγλικά ετυμολογική λεξικό) > σπᾰτάλη

Com., LXX, AP a. o.; Scheller Oxytonierung 67) with - ιώδης `ash-coloured' (Erot.), - ιαῖος `id., gilvus' (Gloss.), - ιάς f. `wild plum, Prunus insititia (?)' (Thphr.). 2. - ιον n. `metal ash' (Poseidon., Dsc.) with - ιακός `made of σ.'

E. Maass RhM 74, 432 ff.Origin: PG [a word of Pre-Greek origin] (V)Etymology: Unexplained. Improbable hypothesis by Grošelj Živa Ant. 1, 129. Older lit. in Bq. -- Furnée 154 convincingly connects ἄσβολος `soot, dust of coals' and *σπολός in σπολεύς (but Frisk s.v. σπολάς takes this as wrong for *σποδεύς). The word then is Pre-Greek.Page in Frisk: 2,771Greek-English etymological dictionary (Ελληνικά-Αγγλικά ετυμολογική λεξικό) > σποδός
