From ἐλάχιστος: ἐλαχιστ-άκις `very rarely' (Hp.), ἐλαχιστ-ιαῖος `of smallest size, infinitesimal' (Diog.

Adesp. 31, pap.).Compounds: Very often as 1. member, esp. in scient. and techn. language.Derivatives: Diminut. and hypocor.: μικύλος (Mosch. 1, 13); μικύ-θινον τὸ μικρόν καὶ νήπιον H.; *μικκιχος (cf. ὁσσίχος a.o. Chantraine Form. 404) in Lac. μικκιχιδδόμενος `under age' (inscr.; from *μικκιχίζομαι; cf. Schwyzer 331); cf. also the PN below. Abstract: ( σ)μικρότης f. `trigle, insignificance' (Anaxag., Pl.). Denomin.: ( σ)μικρύνω, also with prefix, esp. κατα-, `diminish, reduce, degrade' (Demetr. Eloc., LXX); κατασμικρίζω `id.' (Arist., Phld.), σμικρίζεσθαι διαττᾶσθαι H.; ἀποσμικρόω `id.' (Tim. Lex.). -- PN, e.g. Σμικρίνης m. "niggard" (Men.; as Αἰσχίνης etc.), Μίκων, Μικίων, Μίκυθος, - ίων, Σμικυθίων (Leumann Hom. Wörter 155 A. 129, Schulze Kl. Schr. 671).Origin: PG [a word of Pre-Greek origin]Etymology: On σμικρος (older) and μικρός with unexplained initial change Schwyzer 310f.; the ρ-suffix may come from the opposite μακρός (cf. Güntert Reimwortbildungen 160); diff. Bloomfield Lang. 1, 94: μικ-ρό-ς: μικ-υ-θός old ro: u-variation[improbable, s. below]. Through expressive gemination arose μικκός, and to this, with normal simplification of the κ, μικός. -- Without agreement outside Greek. One can compare on the one hand Lat. mīca `crumb, corn, a little' (might stand for * smīk-ā), on the other hand Germ. words for `small' with IE ē-vowel, e.g. OHG smāhi `small, little, low' with smāhen `reduce', NHG schmähen; one might bring together these forms under IE smē[i]k-: smīk-. Further there are adj. for `graceful, elegant' with IE g, e.g. OE smicre `elegant, nice', Lith. su-smìžęs `small, crippled'. The varying form is with a word of this meaning not surprising; on the symbolic character of the i (against α in μακρός) Sieberer Sprache 2, 118 n. 73 (p. 119).-- The connection with the comparativ μείων, with the κ taken from the opposite μακρός (Seiler Steigerungsformen 115), fails because of the clearly older σμικρός, which cannot be combined with μείων (to Skt. minā́ti `reduce' etc.). -- More material WP. 2, 685f., Pok. 966f., W.-Hofmann s. mīca. - The varying initial points rather to a Pre-Greek word.Page in Frisk: 2,236-237Greek-English etymological dictionary (Ελληνικά-Αγγλικά ετυμολογική λεξικό) > μῑκρός

11 μινύθω
Grammatical information: v.Meaning: `lessen, curtail', also trans. `reduce' (Il.).Other forms: μινυνθάνω PMich.); ipf. - ύθεσκον ( ἐμινύθει Hp.), fut. μινυθήσω, aor. - ῆσαι, perf. μεμινύθηκα (Hp.).Derivatives: Medical terms: μινύθ-ησις f. `waning', - ήματα pl. `what is lessening, dying members', - ώθης `weak, lessening' (Hp.; on the verbal derivation Chantraine Form. 431), - ικός `diminishing' (Cael. Aur.). -- Besides μίνυνθα adv. `(only) a short time' with μινυνθάδιος `lasting a short time' (Il.).Etymology: Built after the synonym φθινύθω, either from a νυ-present (: Lat. minu-ō, *φθίνϜ-ω) or from an adj. *μινύς ( βαρύθω: βαρύς), which seems preserved as 1. member in a few though late and rarely attested compp.: μινύ-ωρος, - ώριος `living a short time' (AP), μινύ-ζηον ὀλιγό-βιον H. Also in μίνυνθα one has supposed the same adj., i. e. in the acc. *μινύν (with - θα after the opposite δηθά a.o.) Osthoff MU 6, 232ff.; slight objections by Wackernagel Gött. Nachr. 1914, 106 = Kl. Schr. 2, 1163). An IE adj. * minu-s is also supposed by Lat. minu-ō, prob. also by minus (second. s-stem) and is assumed also for Celtic and Germanic. If we detract a suffixal - nu-, we can connect μείων etc. (s.v.). On a possible confusion with μάνυ, μανός `thin' s. Wackernagel Festgabe II. Jacobi [1926] 3 (= Kl. Schr. 1, 419); on μινύθω s. also Schwyzer 697, Chantraine Gramm. hom. 1, 326 f.

12 ὀλίγος
Grammatical information: adj.Compounds: Often as 1. member, e.g. ὀλιγ-αρχ-ία f. `rule of the few, oligarchy' (IA; after μοναρχία, s. μόνος) with ὀλιγαρχ-έω, - ικός (Att.), - ης m. (D. H.) On ὀλιγ-ηπελέων s. v., on ὀλιγο-δρανέων s. δράω, on ὀλίγ-ωρος s. ὤρα.Derivatives: Comp. forms: ὀλίγ-ιστος (Il.), ὀλίζων (Il.), ὀλείζων (Att. inscr.; after μείζων); Seiler Steigerungsformen 101 ff. ὀλιγότης,. - ητος f. `small number' (Pl., Arist.), ὀλιγόομαι, - όω `to become small, fainthearted, to diminish' (LXX); ὀλιγ-άκις `seldom (Ion.)', - αχόθεν `from few places' (Hdt., Arist.), - αχοῦ `in few places' (Pl., Arist.). Also ὀλίγιοι εἶδος ἀκρίδων. τινές ῥιζίον, ὅμοιον βολβῳ̃ H. (s. Gil Fernandez Nombres de insectos 95) ? But the correct form seems to be ὄλιγγοι (Latte) s.v.; connection with λιγύς does not help; the word is Pre-Greek?Etymology: The adj. can be identcal with Arm. aɫk`at `poor' (\< * oliko- \< * h₃ligo-). Alb. lig `angry, meagre', but this may rather belong to λοιγός `ruin' (s. v.). Less clear are OIr. līach `miserable, unhappy' and OPr. licuts `small' (which fits well semantically), which have *k. There is no reason to connect λοιγός `ruin'.Page in Frisk: 2,377Greek-English etymological dictionary (Ελληνικά-Αγγλικά ετυμολογική λεξικό) > ὀλίγος

Grammatical information: m.Meaning: `axe for working wood, chip-axe' (Od., S. Fr. 797, hell. a. late), metaph. as des. of a chirurgical bandage (Hp.).Other forms: - ον n.Compounds: As 2. member a.o. in ἀμφι-σκέπαρνος `smoothened on both sides' (Miletos, Didyma).Derivatives: σκεπάρν-ιον n. `pillar' (Didyma IIa), - ηδόν adv. `like a kind of σ.-bandage' (Hp.), - ίζω `to work with a σ.' (Hero), with ( ἀπο-)-ισμός m. (medic.).Origin: PG [a word of Pre-Greek origin] (S)Etymology: An IE etymology can be constructed, if one accepts a combination of ρ- and ν-suffixes (Solmsen Wortforsch. 210; cf. Bechtel Lex. s. v. and Specht Ursprung 350) and connects a in Balto-Slavic widely represented group of words, e.g. Russ. ščepátь `split, crumble, diminish', Latv. šk̨ẽpele `split off piece, sherd'. To this are also to be connected the words discussed under κόπτω and σκάπτω; s. vv. w. lit.; to this Vasmer s. ščepá and Fraenkel s. skẽpeta. To avoid the anyhow awkward ρν-suffix, Niedermann IF 37, 149 f. assumes a metathesis from *σκέρπανος, to IE sker-p- in NHG Scherbe, schürfen etc. etc. (cf. κρώπιον and σκορπίος w. lit.); a hypotetical supposition. So like many other instrument names a LW [loanword] (Schwyzer 491 w. lit.)? -- To be rejected Güntert Reimwortbild. 128. -- No doubt a Pre-Greek word.Page in Frisk: 2,724Greek-English etymological dictionary (Ελληνικά-Αγγλικά ετυμολογική λεξικό) > σκέπαρνος
