1 σείω
Grammatical information: v.Meaning: `shake, agitate, sway', midd. a. pass. also `to quake, to shiver'.Other forms: (ep. ἐπι-σσείω, s. bel.), aor. σεῖσαι (Il.), aor. 2. ptc. acc. σιόντα (Anacr.), pass. σεισθῆναι, fut. σείσω (IA.), perf. midd. σέσεισμαι (Pi. etc.), act. σέσεικα (hell. a. late).Compounds: Very often w. prefix, e.g. ἀνα-, κατα-, ἀπο-, δια-, ἐν-, ἐπι-. -- Some compp., e.g. σεισ-άχθεια (: *σεισ-αχθής) f. `burden-', i. e. `the casting off of debts', des. of a law of Solon. (Arist., Plu. a. o.); δορυ-σσόος, s. δόρυ and Schwyzer 450 n. 4.Derivatives: 1. σεῖ-σις ( ἀπό-, κατά- a. o.) f. `shaking' (medic. a.o.); 2. - σμός ( ἀνα-, δια- a.o.) m. `shock, earthquake, extortion' (IA.) with - σμώδης `earthquake-like' (late); 3. - σμα ( παρά-, διά- a.o.) f. `shaking' (LXX), `extortion' (pap.) with - σματίας m. `concerning an earthquake' (D. L., Plu.; Chantraine Form. 95); 4. - στρον n. `rattle', Lat. sistrum (Delos IIa, Plu. a.o.); - στρος m. plantname `Rhinanthus maior' (Arist., Plu.; after the trembling fruit-group, Strömberg 77); 5. - σων, - σωνος m. "shaker", kind of vase (middl. com.; as καύσων, s. on καίω w. lit.); 6. - στης m. kind of earthquake (Lyd.); 7. - στός `shaken' (Ar.), `rattling', of ear-pendants (Delos III--IIa).Origin: IE [Indo-European] [1099] *tu̯ei(s)- `excite, sparkle'Etymology: Except the isolated zero-grade ptc. σιόντα, which because of the form σείω that stands beside it must be taken as aorist, and the ablauting nominal -( σ)σόος, the whole system is built on a full grade σει(σ)-. The geminate in ep. ἐπι-σσείω, ἐ-σσείοντο shows an orig. consonantgroup, so that σείω from *tu̯eis-ō can be identified with Skt. tvéṣati (gramm.) `excite', almost only midd. `be excited, inflame, sparkle' (rejecteing Wackernagel KZ 25, 277 = Kl. Schr. 1, 221). The two languages have developped diff. in this sense, that in OInd. the middle forms have become almost completely dominating and the zero grades (e.g. ipf. 3. pl. a-tvis-anta, perf. 3. sg. ti-tviṣ-é) strongly predominate. -- Beside this stands in Iran. forms without -s- and in slightly deviating meaning, e.g. Av. ʮway-ah- n., ʮwy-ā f. `fright, danger' (IE *tu̯ei-os-, *tu̯i-ā), thus with -s- in ʮwaēšah- n. `fear'. A further member of this group is supposed in Σείριος, s. v. w. lit.; see also Mayrhofer s. tvéṣati.Page in Frisk: 2,689Greek-English etymological dictionary (Ελληνικά-Αγγλικά ετυμολογική λεξικό) > σείω
