61 ἀμαλδύνω
Grammatical information: v.Meaning: `destroy, weaken' (Il.).Origin: XX [etym. unknown]Etymology: One assumes a denominative from *ἀμαλδύς, which is further not known. The first question is whether the word has the same root as βλαδύς (q.v.). The ἀ- must then have been added after the privative formations (which always express some lack), but this is not very probable; influence of ἀμαλός is not very likely. - The form seems identical with Lat. mollis (\< *moldu̯is) `soft', Skt. mr̥dú- id. Arm. meɫk `weak, soft' shows no initial laryngeal for this group (Pok. 718). The absence of prothesis could point to substratal origin, but there are no other indications for this. - μέλδομαι `to smelt' is hardly cognate because of its meaning. However, it has a variant ἀμέλδειν showing the same problem as ἀμαλδύνω \/ βλαδύς. In this case we are certain of cognate forms with s-, OHG smelzan; does this point to h₂m-\/ sm-? The question has not been solved. - μαλθακός, μαλακός, ἀμαλός and ἀμβλύς differ too much to be useful.

62 εἴδομαι
Grammatical information: v.Meaning: `seem, appear, give the appearance, resemble' (Il.).Other forms: Aor. εἴσασθαι (ptc. also ἐ-(Ϝ)εισάμενος, Chantr. Gramm. hom. 1, 182).Derivatives: εἶδος `species, appearance' εἰδύλλιον `poem, single song', εἰδάλιμος `with beautiful appearance'; εἴδωλον `picture, image', - λάτρης `who reveres idols', εἰδάλλεται φαίνεται H.Origin: IE [Indo-European] [1125] *u̯eid- `see'Etymology: Beside (Ϝ)είδομαι and the σ-aorist there is the thematic aorist (Ϝ)ιδεῖν and the perfect (Ϝ)οῖδα, both old (s. v.). There is no equivalent of εἴδομαι; comparable are Celtic and Germanic forms, e. g. OIr. ad-féded `narrabat', Goth. ra-weitan `revenge', both from IE *u̯eid-, but they differ in meaning. εἴδομαι agrees semantically well to εἶδος. It may have been influenced by εἶδος. - The form ἐεισάμενος is found only in the formula (verse init.) τῳ̃ μιν ε. προσέφη; it is therefore probable that an accident led to this unusual form: the formula will have had τῳ̃ δε Ϝε Ϝεισάμενος; see Beekes Larr. 59f. (Wrong RPh. 71 (1997)157.) - Cf. ἰδεῖν, οἶδα, also ἰνδάλλεται.Page in Frisk: 1,451Greek-English etymological dictionary (Ελληνικά-Αγγλικά ετυμολογική λεξικό) > εἴδομαι

We have to start from IE *u̯rHú-s, *u̯érH-os-, which should have given Gr. *Ϝαρύς, *Ϝέρος; cf. βαρύς = Skt. gurú-, Av. gouru-. One assumes that εὑρύς has a prothetic *ἐ-Ϝρύ-ς (cf. Av. uru- in urv-āp- `with broad water' from *u̯rHu-), but then one expects *ἐϜ(α)ρυς \< h₁u̯r(H)us; or that it stands with metathesis for a secondary full grade *Ϝερύς (after the primary comparative, Skt. várī-yān `broader'); also εὖρος beside Skt. váras- could be so explained, if not secondary after εὑρύς (cf. βάρος, βάθος, τάχος etc.). Unclear is the proto-form of Toch. A wärts, B aurtse `broad' (- ts(e) suffixal). - S.

Maidhof Glotta 10, 11.).Derivatives: 1. καρύα f. `walnut-tree', esp. `hazel, Corylus avellana' (S., LXX, Thphr. usw.; on the gender Schwyzer-Debrunner 30). 2. Diminut.: καρύδιον (Philyll. 19) with καρυδόω `castrate', καρύδωσις (Hippiatr.); καρυΐσκος (LXX). 3. Adject.: καρύ-ϊνος `of nuts, nut-brown etc.', - ώδης, - ηρός `nut-like' (hell.); καρυωτός `with nut-like hump or fruit' (= `date-tree'), καρυῶτις f. `kind of date' (hell.); substant. καρυΐτης `kind of Euphorbia' (Dsc.; Strömberg Pflanzennamen 53, Redard Les noms grecs en - της 72). 4.

(after τραγήματα a. o.; Schwyzer 523, Chantraine Formation 178, Fraenkel Glotta 32, 26).Origin: PG [a word of Pre-Greek origin]Etymology: All compared words differ from κάρυον and from one amother: Lat. carīna `ship's keel' (since Enn. and Plaut.), `shell of a nut' (Plin.), Welsh ceri (\< * carīso-) `pit of fruit'; Skt. karaka- m. `(shell of the) coco(a)-nut' (lex.), `jar for water'. Other doubts are: for Lat. carīna a Greek loan (from καρύϊνος = *`like a nut-shell' \> `ship's keel'?) as been supposed (W.-Hofmann s. v.); the priority of the meaning `coco-nut' beside `water-jar' for karaka- is doubted by Mayrhofer, see EWAia III 59 (later form). - The connection with a group * kar- `heart' (Pok. 531f.) is completely hypothetical. - Beside it occurs ἄρυα τὰ ΏΗρακλεωτικὰ κάρυα H., which suggests a Pre-Greek form, Fur. 591.Page in Frisk: 1,794-795Greek-English etymological dictionary (Ελληνικά-Αγγλικά ετυμολογική λεξικό) > κάρυον

No direct agreement, but certainly somehow cognate with Skt. kr̥pāṇa- `sword', MIr. corrán `sickle' (IE * korp-) which differ in ablaut and formation. Related verbs are a. o. Lith. kerpù, kir̃pti `cut, shave', Lat. carpō `pluck off'. - Further Pok. 944f., Fraenkel Wb. s. kir̃pti 1., W.-Hofmann s. carpō. Cf. 1. καρπός, also σκορπίος and σκέπαρνος. - Seen the variation the word must be Pre-Greek; Fur. 148 reminds of Hurrit. hurubbi `sword'.Page in Frisk: 2,31Greek-English etymological dictionary (Ελληνικά-Αγγλικά ετυμολογική λεξικό) > κρώπιον

70 μαστός
Grammatical information: m.Meaning: `nipple, motherbreast, breast', metaph. `hill, hight', also name of a beaker (Apollod. Cyren. ap. Ath. 11, 487b, Oropos, Delos); cf. Jaeger RhM 102, 337ff. (on the use in Clem. Al. and Ph.).Compounds: Compp., e.g. φιλό-μαστος `breastloving' (A.), γυναικό-μαστος (- θος) `with female breasts' (medic.), δεκά-μαζος `with ten breasts' ( Epigr. Gr.); μαστό-δε-τον n. `breast-band' (AP); cf. e.g. ἀκμό-θε-τον.Derivatives: Diminutives: μαστίον `small cup' (Oropos), μαστάριον `id.' (Delos), also `small breast' (Alciphr.).Origin: PG [a word of Pre-Greek origin]Etymology: The attempt to reduce μαζός, μαστός, μασθός to three different pre-forms, IE * mad-dos, * mad-tos, * mad-dhos, (Schrader KZ 30, 476; also [IE *th \> θ] Specht Ursprung 224 f., 231), does not recognise the familiar character of the word. The only late attested μασθός can be explained easily as reshaping after words with comparable meaning or associated words like στῆθος (WP. 2, 231), κύσθος, βρόχθος (s. v. sub βρόξαι). The older μαζός and μαστός can be derived with i̯o- ( do-?) resp. to-suffix from the root of μαδάω, but semantically this connection is rather non-committal, which is true also for the comparison with OHG mast `fattening, (Germ.) Eichelmast, fodder'. The nasalized form mand- `suckle, breast' (Alb. mënt `suckle, suck' posited by WP. 2, 232) is quite hypothetical; cf. W.-Hofmann s. mannus. Remote connection with the nursery word mā (s. μάμμη) is as well possible. - If the form is Pre-Greek, mazdos mastos only differ in voice: non voiced (and aspirated in masthos),which are no phonemic distinction in Pre-Greek.Page in Frisk: 2,183Greek-English etymological dictionary (Ελληνικά-Αγγλικά ετυμολογική λεξικό) > μαστός

"the sown ones", of the dragonseed of Kadmos (Pi. a.o.); 2. σπαρνός (s. v.).Etymology: As agricultural term for sowing σπείρω belongs exclusively to Greek. In the west, including Balto-Slavic, appear for it representatives of sē-: sh₁- (Lat. sēmen etc.); s. Ernout-Meillet and W.-Hofmann s. 1. serō (cf. also above on ἵημι). Also in the supposedly older meaning `strew' the other languages provide nothing, that can be identified with σπείρω. Nearest cognate Armenian has in sp'iṙ `strews' with sp`r̄em `spread out' and in p`arat `spread out, separated' with p`aratem `spread out, remove' words which, not to speak of the "rolling" r̄ and the vowel (IE ē or i) in sp`iṙ, in anlaut (IE ( s)ph-?) differ from σπείρω. Arm. spar̄nam `threaten' (Meillet BSL 31, 52) differs semantically strongly. The last word leads to the s. σπαίρω adduced Skt. sphuráti, Lat. spernō etc. Thus we retain two IE groups sp(h)er- with the general meaning `strew, sprinkle, spatter' resp. `draw out, kick with the foot, sprawl, (Gm.) hurry', which, cannot well be distinguished and as popular-expressive expressions may have formed the starting point for σπείρω". Cf. the lit. on σπαίρω. -- Hitt. išpar-iya-zi (beside išpar-i) `he folds out, stretches out', wit σπείρω formally comparable, gives some doubts (Benveniste BSL 33, 139).Page in Frisk: 2,762-763Greek-English etymological dictionary (Ελληνικά-Αγγλικά ετυμολογική λεξικό) > σπείρω

(Redard 84); ὀρό-σπιζος m. `brambling' (Arist.).Origin: LW [a loanword which is (probably) not of Pre-Greek origin] Eur.Etymology: With σπίζω cf. τρίζω a. o., to which σπίζα. The form σπίνος has perh. assimilated itself to the adj. σπινός `meager', as Swed. spink as birdname cannot be separated from spink(e) `meager man', spink `scrap'. The other forms including σπίζω, σπίζα can, with the exception of πίγγαν, be derived from a common σπιγγ-, so that they differ only through the anlaut. σ- from the Germanic name of the finch, OHG fincho, OE finc, PGm. *fink(i̯)an-, * finki-. (Here may be adduced with aspiration Skt phiṅgaka- m. `the strangler with forked tail' (Germ.: der gabelschwänziger Würger) (Lex.)). Original sonnection is therefore possible; on the other hand these words were clearly exposed so several associations and following transformations, so that a phonetical and undisturbed genealogy becomes impossible.
