Grammatical information: adj.Compounds: Many compp., e.g. ξηρ-αλοιφέω `rub dry with oil' (Lex Solonis ap. Plu. Sol. 1), comp. of ξηρὸν ἀλείφειν (: *ξηρ-αλοιφός); cf. Schwyzer 726; ξηρό-βηξ, - χος m. `dry cough' (medic.; opposite ὑγρό-βηξ; Strömberg Wortstudien 100); κατά-, ἐπί-ξηρος a.o. (Hp., Arist.) beside κατα-, ἐπι-ξηραίνω; on the shades of meaning Strömherg Prefix Studies 153 f. a. 97 f.Derivatives: 1. ξηρότης, - ητος f. `dryness' (Att., Arist.); 2. ξηρίον n., ξηράφιον n. `desiccative powder' (medic., pap.); 3. ξηρώδης `dryish' (EM beside πυρώδης). 4. ξηραίνω, - ομαι, fut. - ανῶ, - ανοῦμαι (IA.), aor. ξηρᾶναι (- ῆναι), - ανθῆναι (Il.), perf. midd. ἐξήρασμαι (IA.), - αμμαι (hell.), often w. prefix as ἀνα-, ἀπο-, ἐπι-, κατα-, `become, make dry' with ( ἀνα-)ξήρανσις f. (Thphr., Gal.), ( ἀνα-, ἐπι-, ὑπερ-)ξηρασία, - ίη f. (Hp., Arist., Thphr.; on the formation Chantraine Form. 85), ( ἀνα-)ξηρασμός m. (medic.) `getting dry'; ( ἀνα-)ξηραντικός `getting dry' (Hp., Thphr.).Etymology: From ξηρός can hardly be separated ξερόν (s. v.); if this belongs with Lat. serēnus `bright, clear, hell, dry' (from * kseres-no-s), serescō `get dry', OHG serawēn `id.' etc. (WP. 1,503, Pok. 625 with Prellwitz BB 21, 92), ξηρός must contain a matching lengthened grade, an only theoretically convincing [if do] assumption. The question rises then, whether the more rare and formalized ποτὶ ( ἐπὶ) ξερόν goes back on a metrical shortening (Chantraine Gramm. hom. 1, 107). But the old equation with Skt. kṣārá- `burning, biting, sharp' (: kṣā́-yati `burn') is very suspect; s. Mayrhofer s. v. w. lit. -- Farther off remain (against Specht KZ 66, 201 ff. and Heubeck Würzb.

Grammatical information: adj.Meaning: `dry' (Il.).Dialectal forms: Att. αὗοςDerivatives: αὐονή (Archil.), cf. καλλονή, ἡδονή (Schwyzer 490, Chantr. Form. 207). - αὐαλέος `id.' (Hes.) like ἀζαλέος a. o.; also αὐσόν ξηρόν H. with s-Suffix as in ῥυσός, γαυσός etc. (Schwyzer 516, Chantr. Form. 454). On αὐσταλέος, αὐστηρός s. below. - Denom. verb: αὐαίνω, αὑαίνω (comp. with ἀπ-, ἀφ-, κατ-, καθ-αυαίνω) `dry'; αὐασμός `ds.' (Hp.; Schwyzer 493, Chantr. 141f.; αὑαψή s.v.. - αὕω ξηραίνω (Hdn.; also ἀφαύει Ar. Eq. 394, which Solmsen Unt. 277 corrects in ἀφᾱνεῖ) looks like a primary verb, but may be denom. (Schwyzer 723). Two adj. with related meaning: αὐσταλέος `dried up' (Od.; cf. αὑαλέος above and Bechtel Lex. s. v.) and αὐστηρός `hard' (Hp.) presuppose a verbal adj.(?) *αὖστος; but cf. the synonym καύστ-ειρα.Etymology: αὖος, αὗος is cognate with Lith. saũsas, OCS suxъ, OE sēar, which suggest PIE *saũsos `dry'.

Zero grade * sus- in Skt. śúṣ-ka- (\< *suṣ-ka-) = Av. huška-, OP. uška- `dry' (perh. also in Lat. sūdus `dry, bright' \< * suz-d-). From this form verbs like Skt. śúṣ-yati, Latv. sust `become dry'. - Lubotsky (KZ 98, 1985, 1 - 10) argues that the Greek form goes back on * h₂sus-, as is shown by ἀυσταλέος, which has five syllables. He thinks it was a perfect ptc. of * h₂es- `be dry' (not `burn, glow'), seen in ἄζω and Lat. āreō (with redupl. * h₂e-h₂s-). Balto-Slavic and Germanic derive from * h₂sous- with sec. o-grade. This also solves the problem that PIE had no *a. -- S. also αὐχμός.Page in Frisk: 1,188-189Greek-English etymological dictionary (Ελληνικά-Αγγλικά ετυμολογική λεξικό) > αὖος

16 ἰσχνός
Grammatical information: adj.Meaning: `dry, arid, languishing, lean' (IA).Compounds: Compp., e. g. ἰσχνό-φωνος `with dry (thin) voice' (Hdt., Hp., Arist.), often connected with ἴσχω (v. l. ἰσχό-φωνος; cf. below on ἰσχναίνω) and understood as `with halting voice'; ἔν-ισχνος `a little dry' (Nic. Al. 147; cf. Strömberg Prefix Studies 128).Derivatives: ἰσχνότης `dryness etc.' (Hp., Arist.); denomin. verbs: 1. ἰσχναίνω, also with prefix as κατ-, ἀπ-, `dry up, make lean' (IA) with ἰσχνασία, - ίη `dried up position, leanness' (Hp., Arist.; on the formation Schwyzer 469), ἰσχνασμός (Hp.), ἴσχνανσις (Paul.

(Com.).Origin: XX [etym. unknown]Etymology: ἰσχ-ν-ός, ἰσχ-αλ-έος does not show old variation ν: λ, which is no IE category ( σμερδνός: σμερδαλέος does exist, of course, Schwyzer 484, Chantraine Formation 253). One might have expected a verb ἰσχαίνω ( κερδαλέος: κερδαίνω), which is often found as v. l., but it may also be a mix with ἰσχάνω `hold back'. A related u-stem has been assumed in Av. hišku-, Celt., e. g. MIr. sesc `dry', IE * si-sk-u(-o)-.

Pr. 481, σκελλόμενα σκελετευόμενα H.), fut. 3 pl. σκελοῦνται σκελετισθήσονται H., perf. ἔσκληκα, mostly with κατα-, ἀπο-, ἐν- a. o. (Epich., Hp., Choeril., hell. a. late), aor. κατα-, ἀπο-σκλῆναι, 3. sg. ἀπ-έσκλη (Ar., Men., Alciphr.), opt. ἀπο-σκλαίῃ (Moer., H., Suid.); fut. 2. sg. ἀπο-σκλήσῃ (AP); few act. forms: aor. opt. σκήλειε (Ψ 191), subj. ἐνι-σκήλῃ (Nic. Th. 694), ind. ἔσκειλα (Zonar.)Derivatives: 1. σκελετός m. `dried up body, mummy, skeleton' (Phryn. Com., Pl. Com. [appositive], Phld., Str. etc.), as attribute `dried up' (Nic. Th. 696), with σκελετ-ώδης `mummy-like' (Luc., Erot.), - εύω ( κατα σκέλλομαι) `to mummify, to dry up, to parch' (Teles, Dsc. a. o.), - εύομαι ( κατα-) `to dry up, to languish' (Ar. Fr. 851, Isoc., Gal. a. o.), to which - εία (- ίη) f. `the drying up, withering' (Gal., Aret.), - ευμα n. `that which has withered' (sch.); - ίζομαι = - εύομαι (H., Zonar.). 2. σκελιφρός `dried up, meagre, slender' (Hp., Erot. [v.l. - εφρός]); cf. σκληφρός, στιφρός (untenable on σκελε-: σκελι- Specht Ursprung 126; s. also below). 3. σκληρός `hard, brittle, harsh, severe' (Hes., also Dor.) with σκληρ-ότης, - ύνω, - υσμα, - υσμός, - όομαι etc. 4. σκληφρός `slender, weak, small, thin' (Pl., Theopomp. Com.; also Arist.); in form and meaning influenced by ἐλα-φρός (cf. below). 5. - σκελής as 2. member referring to the verb after Schwyzer 513 (a noun *σκέλος `drought, emaciation, exhaustion; hardness, brittleness' is in any case not attested): περι-σκελής `very hard, brittle, inflexible' (Hp., S., hell. a. late) with περισκέλεια (- ία) f. `hardness, inflexibility' (Arist., medic., Porph.); κατασκελ-ής (: κατα-σκέλλομαι) `meagre' (of stile), `powerless, brittle' (D. H., Prol.); unclear ἀ-σκελής (Hom., Nic.), as adj. of people in ἀσκελέες καὶ ἄθυμοι (κ 463), approx. `powerless and despondent', elsewhere as adv. - ές, - έως of crying resp. be engry (δ 543; T 68 a. α 68), of suffering (Nic. Th. 278), approx. `incessantly, violently'. As ἀ- can be both privative and copulative and σκέλλομαι, ἔσκληκα refers both to fading away and to growing hard, diff. interpretations are thinkable (not convincing Bechtel Lex. s. v.; s. also above (Frisk) I 163 s. v. ἀσκελής and Bq w. lit.).Etymology: From the above survey we find a system ἔσκληκα: σκλῆναι like e.g. τέτλη-κα: τλῆ-ναι; to this the full grade yot-present σκέλλομαι as ἀνα-τέλλω. The aoristforms σκήλειε and ἐνι-σκήλῃ stand therefore for σκειλ- (\< σκελ-σ-), perh. as old analogy to σφήλειε a. o. (cf. Schwyzer 756 w. lit.). Other deviations are ἐσκληῶτες (A. R.), after τεθνηῶτες, ἑστηῶτες (cf. Kretschmer Glotta 3, 311 f.), ἀπο-σκλαίη after τεθναίη, σταίη a. o. Because of Dor. σκληρός, σκελε-τός (cf. ἔ-τλᾱν, τελα-μών) - αι- cannot be old. -- The verb has maintained itself best in the perf. ἔσκληκα, was however elsewhere as the ep. τέρσομαι, τερσαίνω by ξηραίνω, αὑαίνω pushed back and replaced. Of the few derivv. esp. the semant. emancipated σκληρός maintained itself. -- Nearer non-Greek cognates do not exist. From other languages have been adduced: Germ. NHG schal `faint, vapid', LG. also `dry, barren', MEngl. schalowe `faint, tired, shallow' (NEngl. shallow), Swed. skäll `meagre' (of the bottom), `thin, faint' (of food, soup, beer), `sourish' (of milk), PGm. * skala-, -i̯a-; without anl. s-: Latv. kàlss `meagre', kàlstu, kàlst `dry up'; Germ., e.g. LG. hal(l) `dry, meagre', NHG hellig `tired, exhausted (by thirst)', behelligen `tire, vex'; Toch. A kleps-, B klaiks- `dry up, languish' (v. Windekens Orbis 11, 342 f. with direct identification with σκελιφ-ρός, σκληφρός; dif. on this above.

(of the urn with ashes), which is quite unclear to me. Further κράμβωτον ἰκτῖνος τὸ ζῳ̃ον H. (after the claws?; diff. Thompson s. v.).Origin: PG [a word of Pre-Greek origin]Etymology: The word has been compared with OHG (h)rimfan `wrinkel, curb, rūmpfen' as IE * kremb-, * kromb-. On the ending - βος and the α-vowel cf. a. o. σκαμβός, κλαμβός (s. v.). The accent is remarkable and may point to original substantiv. function. - Fur. 238 compares κραῦρος `dry, frail, fragile' (s.v.), without prenasalization and with u̯ for β (on which see Fur. 228 -242), which is convincing; note Frisk s.v. κραῦρος "ebenfalls mit bemerkenswerter Barytonese." Fur. 343 further adduces κόμβος [note the accent!] ὁ κόνδυλος. καὶ ὁ καπυρός; κρομβότατον καπυρώτατον. κατακεκονδυλωμένον H. Further perh. κράβυζος (s.v.).
