93 go to smb.'s head
1) ударить в голову (особ. о вине)They were all sober people, and the wine they had drunk went to their heads. (W. S. Maugham, ‘Of Human Bondage’, ch. 74) — Все трое пили редко, и вино сразу ударило им в голову.
Its freshness went a little to his head, so impregnated with ozone or iodine, or whatever it was nowadays. (J. Galsworthy, ‘Swan Song’, part III, ch. XI) — У него слегка закружилась голова от той свежести, насыщенной озоном, или йодом, или как это теперь называют.
2) вскружить кому-л. голову (похвалами, кокетством и т. п.)But alongside her hard efficiency Dinny could well perceive a strange almost feline fascination that would go to any man's head if she chose that it should. (J. Galsworthy, ‘Maid in Waiting’, ch. X) — Под напористой деловитостью Джин Динни чувствовала какое-то странное, хищное очарование - стоит ей захотеть, и она вскружит голову любому мужчине.
The publishers had praised his novel pretty highly and it rather went to his head. (E. Hemingway, ‘The Sun Also Rises’, ch. II) — Издатели расхвалили его роман, и это вскружило ему голову.
3) целиком поглотить чьё-л. вниманиеUnfortunately he can't spare you any time. He's very busy writing a book and it's gone to his head. — К сожалению, он не может уделить вам времени. Он очень занят, работа над книгой целиком поглощает его внимание.

96 ἀσπίς 1
ἀσπίς 1., - ίδοςGrammatical information: f.Derivatives: Dimin. ἀσπίδιον (Hermipp.), also a plant (Dsc.; s. Strömberg Pflanzennamen 55). - ἀσπιστής `warrior with shield' (Il.), ἀσπιδιώτης (Il.) m.c. (Meister HK 30). Note ἀσπιδεὶα· τὰς πτύχας τὼν ἀσπίδων καὶ μέρος τῆς νεὼς πρὸς τῃ̃ πρύμνᾳ H.Origin: XX [etym. unknown]Etymology: Unknown. The explanation as *ἀν-σπίς, to σπίδιος (Bechtel Lex.), almost certainly wrong. - The comparison with Lith. skỹdas `shield' (Pisani Ist. Lomb. 73: 2, 23) is improbable; Fraenkel considers it a loan from Germanic. - For the connection with OHG aspa `asp' s. Thieme, Heimat 546-548, but this word had - ps-, not - sp- (which may not be prohibitive). - ἀσπίς could well be a loanword, from the substr. or not; cf. Trümpy.

97 ἀφήτωρ
ἀφήτωρ, - οροςGrammatical information: m.Meaning: epithet of Apollo (I 404). ἀφητορεία μαντεία H. σαφητωρ· μάντις ἀληθής, μηνὺτης, ἐρμηνεὺς H.Origin: GR [a formation built with Greek elements]Etymology: Acc. to Eustathios and the scholl. (also) explained as `prophet' (Eust. ὁμοφήτωρ), i.e. from α copulative and φημί, which is no doubt wrong. Rather from ἀφίημι, s. Fraenkel, Nom. ag. 1, 14f., 42, i.e. `who sends off'. This could well mean `archer' ( ἀφὶημι `discharge'). Doubted by Kraus, WienAkAnz. 87, 516ff., who suggests `who sends off' (people on their journey).Page in Frisk: 1,195Greek-English etymological dictionary (Ελληνικά-Αγγλικά ετυμολογική λεξικό) > ἀφήτωρ

98 βασκαύλης
Grammatical information: m\/f?Meaning: unknown utensil ( POxy. 1, 109, 22, III-IVp).Other forms: Perhaps μασκαύληςOrigin: LW [a loanword which is (probably) not of Pre-Greek origin] Celt.Etymology: Grenfell-Hunt suggest Lat. vasculum, but this wil hardly give the Greek form. WH thought that it was a loan from Lat. bascauda, m-. (Mart.) `eherner Spülnapf'. Thus Szemerényi, Gnomon 43 (1971) 660, but his proposal that the Greek word is due to a mis reading of Λ for Δ is improbable; it could well be a phonetic development. Fur. 212 thinks that the word is Pre-Greek, as shown by b\/m and d\/l. He further recalls Talmud. maskel `basin', which would confirm origin in an Anatolian language. But Martialis 14, 99 seems to prove that the word is Celtic (or perhaps a Eur. substratum word).Page in Frisk: 1,224Greek-English etymological dictionary (Ελληνικά-Αγγλικά ετυμολογική λεξικό) > βασκαύλης

99 βόστρυχος
Grammatical information: m.Meaning: `curl, lock of hair' (Archil.).Other forms: pl. also βόστρυχα (AP)Derivatives: βοστρύχιον, also `vine-tendril' (Arist., AP), βοστρύχια στέμφυλα H.; cf. βότρυχος s. βότρυς; ; βοστρυχηδόν `in locks' (Luk.). - βοστρυχίζω, βοστρυχόομαι. On the χ-Suffix Schwyzer 498, Chantr. Form. 402.Origin: PG [a word of Pre-Greek origin]X [probably]Etymology: Unknown. The suffix - υχ- could well be Pre-Greek (-υC- is frequent), and this is probable for the whole word.

100 δόλος
Grammatical information: m.Meaning: `bait, any trick or stratagem for catching, trick' (Il.).Derivatives: δόλιος `deceiving, tricky' (Od.) with δολιότης (LXX), δολιεύομαι `deceive' (LXX) and δολιόω `id.' (LXX); - δολερός `id.' (Ion.-Att.), δολόεις `cunning' (Od.). - Lengthened δόλευμα `trick' (Aen. Tact.; s. Chantr. Form. 186f.). - Denomin. δολόω `beguile' (Hes.) with δόλωσις (X.) and δόλωμα (A.; Chantraine l.c.); also δολίζω `falsify' (Dsc.). - Here also δολία = κώνειον, `hemlock' (Ps.-Dsc.), cf. Strömberg Pflanzennamen 64; cf. Latte z. St.; δολάνα μαστροπός. \< Λάκωνες\> H.; familiar word, see Chantraine 199; also δόλοπα κατάσκοπον, μαστροπόν with δολοπεύει ἐπιβουλεύει, ἐνεδρεύει H. - On δολεών ὁ δοθιήν H. s.v. δοθιήν.Origin: PG [a word of Pre-Greek origin]X [probably]Etymology: The identity of δόλος and Lat. dolus, Osc. dolom, -ud (acc., abl.) seems evident; but is the Italic word a loan from Greek? One compares also a Germanic word: ONord. tāl f. `deception, trick', OE tǣl f. `blame, slander, derision', OHG zāla f. `danger', PGm. * tēlō, would be IE * dēlā with long e (see Brugmann Grundr.2 2: 1, 153f.). - There is no primary verb. Connection with dolāre and δαιδάλλω (s. v.) is quite hypothetical. Given its concrete basic meaning, it could well be a Pre-Greek word. - Unclear δόλος πάσσαλος H.; cf. Specht Ursprung 157 and 219. - On δόλων s.v.Page in Frisk: 1,407-408Greek-English etymological dictionary (Ελληνικά-Αγγλικά ετυμολογική λεξικό) > δόλος
