9 πύκα
Grammatical information: Adv.Meaning: `dense, solid', metaph. `careful, sensible' (Hom.).Derivatives: Beside it πυκάζω, Dor. - άσδω (Theoc.), aor. πυκά-σ(σ)αι, pass. - σθῆναι, perf. midd. πεπύκασμαι, quite rarely with περι- a.o., `to tighten, to enclose tightly, to encase compactly, to cover' (ep. poet., late prose) with πύκασμα n. `encased, covered object' (Sm.). Adj. πυκνός, ep. lyr. also πυκινός, `dense, solid, compacted, numerous, strong, brave, clever' (Il.), often as 1. member, e.g. πυκνό-σαρκος `with solid flesh' (Hp., Arist.). From it πυκν-ότης f. `density, closeness etc.' (IA.), - άκις = πολλάκις (Arist.), - όω `to make dense, to tighten etc.' (IA.) with - ωμα, - ωσις, - ωτικός; - άζω `to be numerous' (EM, Gloss.). As 1. member πυκι- in πυκι-μηδής (- μήδης) = μήδεα πυκνά (Γ 202, 208) ἔχων, `with close mind, considerate, sensible' (α 438, h. Cer., Q. S.; Bechtel Lex. s.v.). -- On ἄμπυξ s. v.Origin: XX [etym. unknown]Etymology: The forms πύκα: πυκνός: πυκι-μηδής form a system; with πύκα: πυκνός cf. esp. the in meaning close θαμά: θάμνος (s. vv.). To this πυκινός (after πυκι-μηδής?) like (he analog. built?) θαμινός, ἁδινός a.o. (Schwyzer 490). To be rejected Szemerényi Syncope in Greek and I.-Eur. 82 ff., 87 ff. (also on the etymology): πυκνός, θάμνος from πυκινός, *θάμυνος syncopated. The further analysis is hypothetic. The pair of words that certainly belong together ἄμ-πυξ: Av. pus-ā `diadem' [but see my doubts s.v.], which agrees with πρόσ-φυξ: φυγ-η, points to a primary verb IE *puḱ- `fasten etc.' (WP. 2, 82, Pok. 849), which in Greek was replaced by πυκάζω. As denominative of πύκα without doubt explainable (Schwyzer 734), πυκάζω because of the very limited use of πύκα can as well be understood as a formal enlargement of the older primary present. -- Against adducing Alb. puth `I kiss', puthtohem `clothe myself narrow, string myself, embrace' (since G. Meyer Alb. Wb. 356) Szemerényi l.c. Toch. A puk `all, complete, every' remains far already because the B-form po; cf. v. Windekens Lex. étym. s.v. -- The evidence for IE *puḱ- (Pok. 849) is very meagre; Furnée 317 assumes that πυκνός etc. is Pre-Greek, but on quite meagre evidence.Page in Frisk: 2,622-623Greek-English etymological dictionary (Ελληνικά-Αγγλικά ετυμολογική λεξικό) > πύκα

10 στριφνός
Grammatical information: adj.Meaning: `dense, solid, hard' (Ion. hell. a. late).Derivatives: - ότης f. `density', of stile (D. H.); also στρίφνος m. des. of tough or hard food (σ. ἀμάσητος ἀκατάποτος LXX).Origin: XX [etym. unknown]Etymology: Expressive word which reminds of στιφρός, στέριφος, στρυφνός and could be a cross; for the suffix cf. also πυκνός, συχνός. Beside it στρίφος, acc. to Suid. = λίσπος (of ἀστράγαλος); τὰ στρίφη meaning unknown ( Sammelb. 6264, private letter, Rom. time). Similar formations, perh. cognate, are found in Germ., e.g. MLG NLG strif, stref `stiff, severe, solid', MHG LHG streben; s. Bq, WP. 2, 633, Pok. 1026 w. further lit.; cf. also Fraenkel Gnomon 22, 238. Cf. στῖφος.Page in Frisk: 2,810Greek-English etymological dictionary (Ελληνικά-Αγγλικά ετυμολογική λεξικό) > στριφνός

11 στύφω
Grammatical information: v.Meaning: `to astringe, to have an astringent effect, esp. of taste, to thicken, to obstruct, to treat with a corrosive' (Hp., Arist., hell. a. late).Dialectal forms: Myc. turupterija? (sc. γῆ)Derivatives: 1. στῦψις ( ἐπί-, ὑπό-) f. `astringence, thickening, corrosion' (Hp., Arist., Thphr. etc.). 2. στῦμμα ( στύμμα?) n. `astringent' (medic.). 3. στυπτηρία, Ion. - ίη, f. des. of contracting minerals. `alum (-stone), vitriol' (Hdt., Hp., Arist. etc.), also 'alum-monopoly' (pap.), with - ήριος `treated with alum' ( PHolm.), - ηριώδης `containing alum' (Hp., Arist. a.o.), - ηριακὸν δέρμα = aluta, - ηρίζουσα = aqua qua alumen lavatur (gloss.); also - ηρά `id.' ( PHolm.), prob. after the adj. in - ηρός, e.g. ταριχηρός (s. Mayser Pap. 1: 3, 96); cf. Scheller Oxytonierung 119. 4. στυπτικός `astringent' (Diocl. Fr., Hp., Thphr. a.o.). 5. στυφός `id.' (Vett. Val., Gp.), with - ότης f. `density' (Plu.), - ώδης `astringent, bitter' ( Cat. Cod. Astr.). 6. Prob. also στύφλος (s. v. s. στυφελίζω) and στυμνός (: στύμμα; cf. ἐρυμνός) adjunct of στυπτηρία ( PHolm.) = σκληρός, αὑστηρός (Hdn. Gr., H.).Origin: XX [etym. unknown]Etymology: Without convincing explanation. The formal similarity with στύω (s. v.) is obvious (cf. θύω: τύ-φω). Also a semantic connection can be construed if one wants ('stiff, be solid, get more solid, draw together'), but does not become very convincing. (The same is true of the connection with στύππη, στύππεῖον (s. v.), which is Pre-Greek.) Cf. also στρυφνός. -- Further, partly deviating combinations in WP. 2, 620 and Pok. 1035.Page in Frisk: 2,815-816Greek-English etymological dictionary (Ελληνικά-Αγγλικά ετυμολογική λεξικό) > στύφω
