Grammatical information: v.Meaning: `come to know, perceive' (Il.).Other forms: Ion. etc. γῑνώσκω (cf. γί̄νομαι beside γίγνομαι), Epidaur. γνώσκω, aor. γνῶναι, perf. ἔγνωκα, fut. γνώσομαι, with analog. - σ- γνωσθῆναι, ἔγνωσμαι, later σ-aor. γνώσασθαι (Man.)Compounds: Many compounds on which see the dictionaries.Derivatives: γνῶσις `inquiry, knowledge' (Ion.-Att.), often in comp., e.g. ἀνά-γνωσις `recognizing' to ἀνα-γιγνώσκω `recognize'; γνώμη `thought, judgement' (Thgn.); rare γνῶμα `token, opinion' (Hdt.); usual γνώμων m.

( 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.

For the - σ- cf. ἰ-σθμός. Chantr. gives the difficult comment: "dans le cas de ἄσθμα le σ donne une certaine valeur d'harmonie imitative."

Av. zāmaoya- (\< *- mavya-) `brother of the son-in-law' and Skt. jāmí- `related', f. also `daughter-in-law, Lat. gener, Alb. dhëndër, dhândër. Isolated are the Balto-Slavic terms: Lith. žéntas, OCS zętъ, Latv. znuôts (*ǵnōtos). Further one compares Skt. jārá- `suitor', with -ā- from -m̥H-? The Balto-Slavic and Albanian words will belong to *ǵenh₁- ( γίγνομαι; Lith. žéntas). Unclear is Lat. gener. - The Greek and Indo-Iranian forms with -m- must belong together, but a reconstruction is no longer possible. Greek requires *gm̥-, but this form may have lost a laryngeal (as in ἀρήν, q.v.) and be cognate with γαμέω (* gmh₁-); but the resemblance with γαμέω could be due to secondary influence. Cf.

(Is.); γεννικός `noble' (Com., Pl.); γεννήεις `begetting' to γεννάω, s. below - Old is γενναῖος `of good origin' (Il.) with γενναιότης (E.). - Beside γέννα, γενναῖος there is γεννάω `beget, generate' (Pi.) with γέννημα (S.; γένημα after γένος) etc., γέννησις, γεννητής `begetter' (S.); γεννήτωρ (A.) and γεννητήρ (App.) `id.', γεννήτειρα (Pl.), γεννήτρια (Phryn.). - From γεννάω also γεννητικός (Arist.) and γεννήεις (Emp.).Origin: IE [Indo-European] [373] *ǵenh₁- `beget'Etymology: Either γέννα was derived from γεννάω (Wackernagel KZ 30, 300 and 314) or the verb from the noun (DELG). Thus γενναῖος seems an old derivation from γέννα. It has been suggested that γενναῖος stands for *γενε̯αῖος (Schwyzer Glotta 5, 195f. (cf. Scheller Oxytonierung 114f. m. A. 1). Or γέννα has expressive gemination, which was introduced in γεννάω and γέννα (Meillet BSL 26, 15f., Chantr. Form. 46). γεννάω has been explained as a νᾱ-verb ( δάμνημι, δαμνάω), with the stem γεν-introduced from γένος - The noun in short -α supposes -i̯a \< *- ih₂; perhaps the development to - νν- is irregular (the -n- being analogically retained). - See further γίγνομαι.Page in Frisk: 1,296-297Greek-English etymological dictionary (Ελληνικά-Αγγλικά ετυμολογική λεξικό) > γέννα

Δημήτηρ and v. Wilamowitz Glaube 1, 203); after this εἰνοσί-φυλλος `shaking off foliage' (Hom.; ἐνν-, εἰν- metr. lengthening; cf. Chantr. Gramm. Hom. 1, 100); cf. Knecht Τερψίμβροτος 26.Derivatives: ἐνοσιζεται τρέμει, σείεται (Cyr.).Origin: XX [etym. unknown]Etymology: Uncertain. The explanation by Pott, followd by many scholars, as *ἔν-Ϝοθ-τις to ὠθέω (s. also ἔθων, ἔθειρα) finds several objections: the sequence - θ-τ- should have given - στ- (cf. e. g. πύσ-τις beside πεῦ-σις); the ο-ablaut as in ἄ-φρων: φρήν is not expected in a τι-deriv., and refuted by Myc.; a prefixal ἐν- is not well explained ("bump against"?). If ἔνοσις is indeed a primary τι-deriv. (cf. Holt Les noms d'action en - σις 94f.), we would rather expect a formation like ἄρο-σις. ἔνοσις may have been derived from the compounds. - See Porzig Satzinhalte 193f. M. Janda, Compositiones indogerm. Schindler, 1999, 183-203 assumes a root * h₁enh₃- `to move' from Skt. ánas, Lat. onus ? (but no such root is attested, and its meaning would be `carry one a horse', which seems not adequate; also it does no solve the problem provided by Myc.).Page in Frisk: 1,523Greek-English etymological dictionary (Ελληνικά-Αγγλικά ετυμολογική λεξικό) > ἔνοσις

S., Plu.), θανατηρός (Eust.); θανατούσια (sc. ἱερά) pl. `feast for the dead' (Luc.; after γερούσιος). Denomin. verbs: 1. θανατόω `kill, bring to death, sentence to death' (IA) with θανάτωσις; 2. θανατάω `like to die', also `be dying' (Pl.); 3. θανατιάω `id.' (Luc.). - The old perfect τέθνηκα `am dead', pl. τέθνᾰμεν, ptc. τεθνηώς, τεθνεώς, Aeol. inf. τεθνά̄κην, with the thematic root aorist ἔθανον `I died' (Il.), the fut. θανοῦμαι (Il.) and an added present θνηισκω (inscr.), θνήσκω (mss.), Aeol. θναισκω (Hdn. Gr. 2, 79); in prose mostly ἀπο-θνῄσκω; also with other prefixes, e. g. κατα-θνῄσκω, - θανεῖν, - τέθνηκα (all Il.); on the function of the prefix Schwyzer-Debrunner 268f., Hermann Gött. Nachr. 1943, 617f. Verbal adj. θνητός `mortal' (Il.). - From there θνήσιμος (only Arg. to S. OT 7) with θνησιμαῖον `cadaver' (LXX; Chantraine Formation 49, Mélanges Maspéro 221); in the same meaning also θνᾱσίδιον, θνησ(ε)ίδιον (Lesbos, Ael.; Schwyzer 270). Verbalsubst. θνῆσις `dying, mortality' (medic.); on εὑθνήσιμος `preparing a soft death' (A. Ag. 1294) from εὖ θνῄσκειν; cf. εὑθάνατος, - τέω, - σία; diff., hardly correct, Arbenz 78 u. 84.Etymology: The form θαν- ( εῖν) and θάνα-(τος) θνᾱ-(τός) point to a form *dhnh₂-, *dhnh₂-e- beside *dhnh₂- before consonant. The comparison with Skt. aorist á-dhvanī-t `he disappeared' and the ptc. dhvān-tá- `dark' led to the reconstruction IE dhu̯enǝ-; the meaning `die' stems from a euphemism, cf. Chantraine Sprache 1, 146. See Pok. 266. But the -u̯- is not quite certain.Page in Frisk: 1,652-653Greek-English etymological dictionary (Ελληνικά-Αγγλικά ετυμολογική λεξικό) > θάνατος

Mayrhofer s.v.); in Slavic also an ū-stem, e.g. ORuss. uty, gen. utъve (PSlav. *ǫty).

R.), ὀνο-σ-τός (Ι 164, Lyc.; - σ- analogical, s. Schwyzer 503; cf. also below and Ammann Μνήμης χάριν 1, 15); dental formation in ὀνοτ-άζω = ὄνομαι (h. Merc., Hes., A.); ὀνητά μεμπτά H., prob. after the oppositum ἀγητά (if not false for ὀνοστά with Baunack Phil. 70, 464 f.); ὄνοσις f. `blame' (Eust.).Etymology: All forms except ὤνατο (rather aor. then ipf.), ὄναται ἀτιμάζεται H. and the debated οὔνεσθε (Ω 241) are based on ὀνο- (further Schwyzer 681 w. n. 4, ChantraineGramm. hom. 1, 295f. a. 382); ὀνα- is not an old ablautvariant (Schw. 362, Persson Beitr. 2, 669) but a sec. deviation. -- Without certain non-Greek agreement. Quite hypothetic is the comparison with some Celt. words, e.g. MIr. on `shame', anim (a- reduced grade?) `blemish, fault'. The comparison with the not quite reliable GAv. ptc. nadant- `slandering, reviling' (ἅπ. λεγ.) and with Skt. níndati `blame, revile' (as ní-nd- ati; but rather ní-n-d- ati, s. ὄνειδος and Mayrhofer s. níndati and nádati) is based on the wrong assumption, that ὀνόσσ-ασθαι, - ομαι and ὀνοστός go back on ὀνοδ-, instead of being analogical. Uncertain is connection with Hitt. hanna- `contend, contest' Puhvel, Hitt.Et.Dict. 3, 83. -- Details w. older lit. in Bq, WP. 1, 180, Pok. 779, also W.-Hofmann s. nota. Far remains ὄνομα, s.

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
