41 κερτομέω
Grammatical information: v.Meaning: `taunt, insult, mock, ridicule' (almost only poetic, Il.).Other forms: aor. (rare) κερτομῆσαι.Derivatives: Also κέρτομος `insulting, slandering' (pöet. Hes. Op. 788) with κερτομίαι pl. `mockery, slander' (Hom.; diff. Porzig Satzinhalte 207f.); also with ιο-suffix κερτόμιος `id.' (Hom., S. in lyr.), κερτόμησις (S. Ph. 1236). From ἐπικερτομέω: ἐπικερτόμ-ημα (Demetr.), - ησις (Hdn.) and as back-formation ἐπικέρτομος (Q. S.).Origin: PG [a word of Pre-Greek origin]Etymology: Expressive word of unknown origin. Acc. to Prellwitz Wb. s. v. univerbation of κείρειν and τέμνειν (cf. the formations in Schwyzer 645; s. also on λοιδορέω); similar, but in detail unclear, Radermacher Festschrift Kretschmer 149ff. Brugmann IF 15, 97f. assumes *κέρ-στομος `having a mocking mouth' (cf. ἐΰ-στομος) also from κείρειν (s. also Benveniste Origines 68 and on σκερβόλλω). Acc. to others (cf. W.-Hofmann s. carinō) the group of κάρνη was also involved in the formation of the 1. element. Diff. again Pisani Ist. Lomb. 77, 583. - Whether κέρτομος was the basis of κερτομέω seems doubtful; it was rather a backformation (cf. Risch 181). - Fur. 349 reminds of καρτομιστής χλευαστής H. (`mocker'). The variant vocalism shows Pre-Greek origin. The root has been connected with Lat. carināre, and the words cited under κάρνη. Schrijver, Larr. in Latin, 429 is no doubt right to connect the group σκερβόλλω, - βολέω, κερβόλλουσα `insult, mock, slander', which is again connected with ( σ)κέραφος, σχέραφος. All these words are clearly Pre-Greek (thus also Schrijver). The second elements are unknown; are they compounds? Fur. 349 n. 46 suggest σ comparison with Hitt. kartimmii̯a `be angry', kartimnu `get angry', though the meaning is not exactly the same. (Wrong therefore Perpillou RPh.

42 κημός
Grammatical information: m.Meaning: `muzzle, wicker top of the voting urn, vessel for fishing, cover for nose and mouth etc.' (A., S., Ar., X.; on the meaning Schenkl WuS 5, 172ff.).Dialectal forms: Dor. κᾱμόςDerivatives: κημόω `put on a muzzle, tie up a mouth' (X., 1 Ep. Kor. 9, 9, sch.) with κήμωσις φίμωσις H.Origin: PG [a word of Pre-Greek origin]Etymology: Unexplained. The formally possible connection with Arm. k` amem `press (out)' (Petersson KZ 47, 284) is hard to combine with the further prob. basic meaning `wicker'. The same holds for wods from a Balto-Slavic and Germanic group with the meaning `press (together) etc.', which also differs in the vowel, e. g. Lith. kãmanos pl. `harness with bit', Russ. kom `clump', MHG hemmen, hamen `hold up, bind, hemmen' etc. etc. (Pok. 555, Fraenkel s. kãmanos, Vasmer s. kom). Lat. quālum `wicker basket' (Prellwitz1) has a diff. initial, s. W.-Hofmann s. v. Specht Ursprung 263 n. 4 to χάβος `muzzle' (sch.Ar.Eq. 1147). Diff. Wood ClassPhil. 21, 341 (to OHG hamo `cover' etc.). - From Dor. καμός came Lat. cāmus `muzzle', from κημός Osman. Arab. ǵem `bit, mouth-piece of the harness, bridle', from where NGr. τὸ γέμι `bridle' (Maidhof Glotta 10, 9). - The connection with χάβος is of course blameless; it points to μ \/ β in Pre-Greek (Fur. 203-227); Fur. 220 who cites χαβός - χαμός (s.v.) both adjectives; Furnée seems to suggest that these words are the same as our word (where he is clearly following Frisk's presentation), which is clearly wrong; also he is incomplete as he does not cite κημός.Page in Frisk: 1,841Greek-English etymological dictionary (Ελληνικά-Αγγλικά ετυμολογική λεξικό) > κημός

Beside this there was in Indo-Iranian and Baltic a thematic root-present, e. g. Skt. śrayati = Lith. (old a. dial.) šlejù `lean'. The originally only presentic nasal has in Latin and Germanic conquered the whole inflexion, but in Greek did not reach the perfect ( κέ-κλι-ται: Skt. śi-śri-y-é), partly also the passive aorist. - The Greek nominal derivations are mostly innovations; note, except ( ἄ)-κλιτος = Skt. śri-tá-, Av. sri-ta- `leaning', κλίσις, formally = Lith. šli-tì-s `shove-shed'; κλίτον = Germ. e. g.

(Frisk notes that the meaning is the same as that of τύλη, which is irrelevant.)Other forms: also σκορδύλη (Arist.) and κορύδῡλις (Numen. ap. Ath.).Compounds: as 1. member (with syllable-dissimilation) in κορδυ-βαλλῶδες ( πέδον, Luc. Trag. 222) `pavimentum'; `younger tunny' (Str., cordȳla Plin., Mart., cordula Apic.; on the meaning Thompson Fishes s. v.).Derivatives: Denomin. ptc. ἐγκεκορδυλημένος `εντετυλιγμένος, rolled in, together' (Ar.

The connection with κόρδαξ, κραδάω (since Curtius) is semantically in the air; a basic meaning "turned" for κορδύλη in the sense of `τύλη, `a hairdress' (WP. 2, 567) is no less arbitrary. Still diff.

Welsh catu- in Catu-rīges, OHG hadu- in Hadu-brand and, with diff. suffix, MHG hader `id.', with further Slav., e. g. Russ.-CS. kotora `fight'; futher with palatal anlaut Skt. śátru- `enemy'. Rejecting this etymology WP. 1, 454 (cf. 1, 339), also after Fick (1, 45), adduce Lat. cōs `whettone' (s. κῶνος). But in both cases there is no morphological argumentation. If κότος were an old s-stem (Fraenkel KZ 43, 193ff.), it would fit better to the u- and r-stems in catu-, hader; but κοτέσσασθαι can be explained as analogical (Chantraine Gramm. hom. 1, 349). - Machek Stud. in hon.

Cypr. PN, e. g.

On Κρεσφόντης s. v. - 7. 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.

(Aret.; after κρέας?).Origin: XX [etym. unknown]Etymology: A formal agreement to λίπ-α from a root-noun (cf. Schwyzer 622) gives Skt. rip- f. "smearing on", `defilement, deceit'. Closely agreeing are λιπαρός and Skt. rip-rá- n. `discord, dirt', further λίπος and Skt. répas- n.' stain, dirt' (would be Gr. *λεῖπος); in the last case however we have independent parallel formations. Doubtful is Alb. laparós `defile' (s. Fraenkel Wb.; s. below). - (Not here ἀλείφω `anoint', with vowel prothesis; see s. v.).

Besides *μασύνω as innovation (after ἁπαλύνω etc.; diff. interpretation s. ματτύη). From μάθυιαι γνάθοι H.
