Certainty: -

Comments: The Slavic vacillation between root-final *b and *p does not have a Baltic counterpart. In East Baltic, however, the full grade * daub- occurs both with acute and circumflex tone, e.g. Latv. duôbjš `deep'. The acute variant could be attributed to Winter's law, which would be in accordance with PGm. * deupa- `deep'< * dʰeub-, but this would leave us without an explanation for the other forms. The many formal problems connected with this root have made it a prime example of a borrowing from a substratum language (cf. Kuiper 1995).

Grammatical information: v.

Meaning: `scrape, scratch', only with prefix, δια-, ἀπο-, ἐκ-, κατα-κναίω (Hp., Trag. in lyr., Att.);

Other forms: also as simplex, Att. inf. κνῆ-ν, κνῆ-σθαι, 1. a. 3. sg. pres. κνῶ, κνῃ̃, ipf. ἐπὶ... κνῆ (Λ 639), also κνᾶ-ν (Hdt.), κνᾶ-σθαι, κνᾳ̃ (hell.); further κνήθω, also with κατα-, ἐν-, ἐπι- a. o. (Arist., hell.). Non-pres. forms: 1. - κναῖσαι, - κναισθῆναι, - κναίσω, - κεκναισμένος (Ar., E. in lyr., Pl.,Theoc.); more usual (as simpl. a. comp.) 2. κνῆσαι, Dor. opt. midd. (Theoc.) κνάσαιο, κνησθῆναι, κνήσω, κέκνησμαι (IA.).

Derivatives: Action nouns: 1. κνῆσις `scratching, tickling' (Pl.) with κνησιάω `desire to tickle' (Ar., Pl.), also κνηστιάω `id.' (Gal., Jul.; after the verbs in - τιάω) and κνηθιάω `id.' (Hdn., EM; after κνήθω, cf. Schwyzer 732). 2. κνῆσμα (rarely κνῆμα) `id.' (Hp., X.); 3. κνησμονή `id.' (medic.; πῆμα: πημονή etc.); 4. κνησμός `id.' (Hp., Arist.) with κνησμώδης `affected with itching' (Hp., Arist., Str.). 5. κνηθμός `itching' (Nic.). - Agent nouns and instruments: 6. κνῆστις f. (from *κνήστης m.) `knife for scratching, cheese-grater' (Λ 640, Nic., Opp.), also `spine' (κ 161; cf. ἄκνηστις s.v.); diff. on κνῆστις z. B. Fraenkel Glotta 4, 41ff., Benveniste Noms d'agent 77; 7. κνηστήρ `scratching knife' (Nic.). 8. κνηστίς -ίδος f. `hollow hair-pin' (Plu.). 9. κνῆστρον `stinging plant, Daphne oleoides, θυμελαία' (Hp., Dsc.); κνηστρίον `scraper', ( Edict. Diocl.). - Adj. 10. κνηστικός `scratching, itching' (Sch.).

Origin: PG [a word of Pre-Greek origin]X [probably]

Etymology: Of the presents κναίειν, κνῆν, κνήθειν the last can be an innovation to κνῆ-σαι etc. after πλῆ-σαι: πλή-θ-ω, λῆ-σαι: λήθ-ω a. o. The pair κνῆν: κναίειν agrees with the semantically close ψῆν: ψαίειν. - One compares several words with initial IE. * k(e)n- but with different forms, which is not surprising in view of the emotional value of expressions for `scratch, grate'. With κνῆ-ν (prob. orig. athematic; Schwyzer 675f., Chantraine Gramm. hom. 1, 297 a. 307) from IE. * knē- agree best in Baltic and Germanic Lith. kn(i)ó-tis `peek (oneself) off, get loose', OHG nuoen `make smooth by scratching, fit exactly' (with OHG hnuo `joint, groove' etc.) from IE. * knō-? (cf. κνώ-δ-αλον?), perh. * knā- as in Alb. krromë `scab, mange' form IE. *knā-mn̥ (Gr. κνῆμα is independent). Lat. cnāsonas however, acc. pl. `scratching nails' (Paul. Fest. 52) from hell. *κνά̄σων `scratcher' ( κνᾶσαι ὀλέσαι, λυπῆσαι H.); cf. Leumann Sprache 1, 207. - The - αι- in κναίω however has no direct counterpart (Lith. knaisýti is secondary to knìsti `scratch', s. κνίζω). Connecting κνῆ-ν and κναί-ειν to an old paradigma (* knē[i]-mi: knǝi-mé (Schwyzer 676; cf. Specht Ursprung 325; the last form is impossible since the laryngeal theory) is quite hypothetical. - Cf. κνίζω, κνύω, κνάπτω; κνώδαλον, κνήφη, κνέωρος and κόνις; s. Pok. 559ff., Fraenkel Lit. et. Wb. s. knablỹs. - Strangely enough it has not been proposed that the words could well be Pre-Greek; the meaning makes this quite possible; the connections in Pok. 599 are far from convincing. Cf. also κναδάλλεται κνήθεται H., with which compare γνάφαλλον, γνόφαλον, which are clearly Pre-Greek (s.s.v. κνάπτω); is κναδ- a variant of κνηθ-? For κναδ- no PIE prefrom can be reconstructed (cf. on γνάθος). Note that Kuiper assumed that words with kn- in Germanic were prob. substrate, NOWELE 25 (1995) 68 a.70. The formation of κνήσων (and the Latin loan cnāsōn- cited above) seems non-IE; cf. DELG s.v. Also the formation of a verb in - αίω is unknown.

Origin: IE [Indo-European] [577] *ḱerh₁- `grow'

Etymology: The more limited attestation of masc. κοῦρος, κόρος compared with general κούρη, κόρη perhaps indicates that the masc. was an innovation to fem. PGr. *κόρϜα; s. Lommel Femininbildungen 7ff. As masc. counterpart there were e. g. παῖς and νεανίας. - That κόρϜα, *κόρϜος come from the root of κορέννυμι, is generally ccepted, but the exact jugment is difficult: prop. abstractformation, as "growth, flourishing, blossom"? The meaning `sprout, branch' for κόρος (rare: Lysipp. 9, Hp. ap. Gal. 19, 113) is hardly very old, but developed from `son' or the like (or from κείρω?, s. on κοῦρος). Note κόρυξ νεανίσκος H. (beside κόριψ `id.' and Κόρυψ Boeot. PN, s. Bechtel Namenstudien 29f.), which may have an intermediate u-stem; Specht Ursprung 148. Further s. κορέννυμι. - κοῦρος not with Bezzenberger, Fick and Bechtel (s. Lex. s. v.) to Lith. šárvas `armament', κόρυς `helm'; s. Kretschmer Glotta 8, 254.

Etymology: Formation: σποργ-ίλος as ὀρχίλος, τροχίλος a. other birdnames; σπέργουλος dialectal for *σπεργ-ύλος like κηρύλος a. o. (Chantraine Form. 249 u. 251). The forms with - γ- have a counterpart in a Germ. and Balt. name of the sparrow: MHG sperke, OPr. spurglis, also spergle-wanag\<is\> `sparrow-hawk ' ("sparrow-vulture"(?). Hypothetic, partly certainly wrong attempts, to bring the different forms in a morphological system by Specht Ursprung 89, 145 f., 213.

Origin: IE [Indo-European] [1029] * sterh₃- `spread out'

Etymology: The original triad στόρ-νυμι: στορέ-σαι: στρω-τός, ἔ-στρω-μαι is partly leveled through innovations: στρώννυμι (after ζών-νυ-μι for ζωσ-), στρῶσαι after στρωτός, ἔστρωμαι; στορέννυμι after στορέσαι. As in κορέσαι, κορέννυμι, ὀλέσαι, ὄλλυμι a.o. the ο-vowel makes difficulties and has aroused a lively discussion (s. lit. s. vv.). With στόρνυμι (for *στάρνυμι?) agrees further formally Skt. str̥ṇóti `stretch down, throw down'; because of Germ., e.g. Goth. straujan, NHG streuen we can posit an IE * streu- with n-infix. Other nasal presents are Skt. str̥ṇā́ti `id.', Lat. sternō = OIr. sernim `spread out', Alb. shtrinj `id.' (IE *str̥ni̯ō). On semantic differentiation Narten Münch. Stud. 22, 57 ff., Sprache 14, 131 f. To the zero grade στρωτός answers Lat. strātus, Lith. stìrta f. `heap of hay, piled up heap, dry scaffolding' and Skt.stīrṇá- `spread out'. Disyllabic the full grade στορέ-σαι like Skt. a-starī-ṣ (2. sg.; midd. 3. sg. a-stari-ṣṭa, inf. stari-tavai; one expects * sterh₃- which would give στερο-, which has been metathesized to στορε-, but we don't know how or why; cf Schwyzer 752). Also στρῶμα has an exact counterpart, i.e. in Lat. strāmen, strāmentum `straw' (beside Skt. stárĩ-man- n. `expansion'; cf. Schwyzer 520 w. n. 5). Also agree στόρνη = ζώνη and Slav., e.g. Russ. storoná `region, side', both prob. as innovations. The isolated στορεύς (from *στόρος, -ά or innovation to στορ-έσαι, - νυμι?) represents also the same vowel grade as Russ. pro-tór m. `room, greatness' and Skt. pra-stará- m. `straw, cushion, flatness'. Further forms w. lit. in Bq, WP. 2, 638ff., Pok. 1029ff., W.-Hofmann s. sternō, Fraenkel s. stìrta, Vasmer s. prosterétь and storoná. On the stemformation esp. Strunk Nasalpräs. u. Aor. (1967) 113 f.

Etymology: To (Ϝ)έλπομαι (s. Chantraine, Gr. hom. 1, 133 and 182) and the old perfect with present meaning (Ϝ)έ(Ϝ)ολπα there is no counterpart; Homer has a few forms from ἐέλπομαι, after ἐέλδομαι (Beekes, Development 64).

Origin: LW [a loanword which is (probably) not of Pre-Greek origin] Eur. substr.

Etymology: Old name of the lynx, found also in Armenian, German and Balto-Slavic. Except for the nasal λύγξ has a counterpart in Lith. consonant stem lūš-ų (gen. pl.), with as innovation the i-stem lū́š-is. The same transformation show the Slav. words, which however through influence of an other word (* rysъ `sotted, red'?) got an initial r-: Russ. rýsь etc. Also elsewhere transformstions have occurred: with thematic vowel in Swed. lō `lynx' (PGm. * luh-a-, IE *luḱ-o-); with s-sufflx in Westgermanic: OHG luhs, OE lox (cf.

As 2. member - ηδής, generally connected with ἡδύς or ἥδομαι: ἀ-ηδής `unpleasant' (IA.), μελι-ηδής `as sweet as honey', θυμ-ηδής `heart-pleasing' a. o.

Derivatives: 1. ἦδος n. `pleasure' (Il.; on the absence of aspir. and the doubtful traces of the digamma Chantraine Gramm. hom. 1, 184 and 151); in the meaning `vinegar' backformation from ἡδύς, s. v.; 2. ἡδονή, Dor. ἁδονά `pleasure' (IA., Dor.; Schwyzer 490, Chantraine Formation 20) with ἡδονίς = ἀφύδιον (Cyran. 18), ἡδονικός (Arist.). 3. ἁδοσύνα ἡδονή H. 4. ἥσθημα `id.' (Eup.). 5. ἡστικός `pleasant' (S. E.).

Origin: IE [Indo-European] [1039] * sueh₂d- `sweet'

Etymology: An exact formal counterpart is Skt. ἅπ. λεγ. svādate `become tasty(?)' (RV. 9, 68, 2; of soma); much more usual however is svadate, -ti `enjoy, taste well' resp. `make tasty, sweeten'. On -a- see Lubotsky, MSS 40 (1981) 133-8. The 2. member - ηδης agrees with Skt. prá-svādas- `pleasant' (RV. 10, 33, 6); the nasal suffix in ἡδ-ονή is seen in Skt. svā́d-ana- `making tasteful' (RV. 5, 7, 6), - anam n. `be tasteful' (class.). - See ἡδύς and ἁνδάνω, also ἀδημονέω.

Origin: IE [Indo-European] [578] *ḱerh₂- `damage, intr. fall apart'

Etymology: The secondary present κεραΐζω, the basis of the group, may have replaced an older primary verb, which is retained in the nasalpresents Skt. śr̥ṇā́ti `breaks', OIr. ar-a-chrin `fall into decay'. The disyll. stem κερα- has an exact counterpart in Skt. aorist a-śarī-t (length of the ī secondary) and in the OIr. preterite do-cer `he fell' (IE. ḱerh₂-). In Greek he is still seen in ἀ-κέρα-ιος `unhurt', perhaps also in ἀ-κήρα-τος `id.' (η metr. lengthening?, cf. s. v.). An intermediate noun *κερα-Ϝός (Bechtel Lex. s. v.; cf. also Schwyzer 735) is improbable and unecessary. - Independent formations are κεραυνός; not here κήρ; s. vv.

Ch. 448 [lyr.], Gal.). - On λιβρός s. v.

Origin: IE [Indo-European] [664] [not in Pok!] * lei-b- `pour out, drip'

Etymology: The regelar fullgrade thematic λείβω (with λεῖψαι) and the zero grade primary noun λίψ stand side by side in Greek (cf. νείφει: νίφ-α; quite uncertain λίβει σπένδει, ἐκχύνει H.). - To λοιβᾶται (from λοιβή, s. above) Lat. lībāre `pour out, spill' can be a direct counterpart (cf. Porzig Satzinhalte 254, 322), but it can also be a an independent iterative deverbative (so certainly dēlĭbūtus, if with ū after imbūtus); quite doubtful is λαβά σταγών H., after v. Blumenthal Hesychst. 18 f. Maced. or Messap. for λοιβά. If we remove the -b-, we can adduse other words for `pour (out)', e. g. OCS lьjǫ, lějǫ, liti, Lith. líeju, líeti, s.

Origin: XX [etym. unknown]

Etymology: As the elided ὑπ' ὀμοκλῆς (e.g. Hes. Sc. 341), κέκλετ' ὀμοκλήσας (v. l. Υ 365) point to orig. lenis (Wackernagel Unt. 47 A. 1), one doubted clearly already in antiquity the hard to understand connection with ὁμός etc. In ὀμο- Jacobsohn Phil. 67, 509ff., KZ 42, 160 n. 1, Χάριτες F. Leo (1911) 443 f. wanted to find a counterpart of Skt. áma- m. `violence, pressure, turbulence', Av. ama- m. `power (to attack), strength'; so ὀμο-κλή prop. as determinative comp. "(attack)-, cry" (?). The 2. member, in any case to καλέω, can be a root-noun (Brugmann Grundr.² II: 1,140, Risch $ 72b); but it can also be explained as an ā-abstract ὀμο-κλ-ά̄ (: *ὀμο-κλ-ός like νεο-γν-ός; cf. on μεσόδμη) (Fraenkel Nom. ag. 1, 8 n. 2 with Jacobsohn l.c.), in which case the laryngeal must have been lost. For the latter interpretation pleads ὁμοκλάν in A. (s. above), as Greek as monosyll. zero grade only knows κλη- (s. on καλέω); an artificial Dorism (Jacobsohn as alternative) is however not excluded. -- On the variation - άω: - έω in the verb, which can be phonetic, s.

Origin: IE [Indo-European] [371] * smeug(h)- `smoke'

Etymology: Formation like τρύχω, ψύχω; the late ἀποσμυγέντες, if at all here (s. ab.), is an analogical formation (cf. Schwyzer 760). Beside the primary σμύχω stands in Arm. a noun moux, gen. mx-oy `smoke' from IE *( s)mūkho- (Meillet MSL 8, 294 with Bugge). A close counterpart is Celt. with OIr. mūch, Welsh mwg `fire' (IE *mū̆k(h)-; Fick 2, 218). In Germ. there is a primary verb with diphthong and final IE media, e. g. OE smēocan `smoke, fumigate' (IE * smeug-), beside zero grade smoca m. (IE * smug-on-), smocian ' smoke' (Zupitza Germ. Gutt. 166; on the media in the doubtful ἀποσμυγέντες s. ab.). One adduced further from Balt.-Slav. Lith. smáug-iu, -ti `strangle, string together, plague' (prop. *by smoke?), which prob. must be explained diff. (s. Fraenkel s. v. w. lit.), Russ. etc. smúglyj `dark, brown' (prop. *"the colour of smoke"?; other interpretations possible, s. Vasmer s. v.). Uncertain and ambiguous also two Arm. adj.: murk, gen. mrk-oy `singing' (IE *( s)mugro-[?]), moyg `brown, dark' (IE *( s)mougho-[?]); s. H. Petersson KZ 47, 267. -- WP. 2, 688f., Pok. 971; older lit. also in Bq.

Etymology: σπαρ-άσιον like κοράσιον. The forms with - γ- (see on σποργίλος) have a counterpart in a Germ. and Balt. name of the sparrow: MHG sperke, OPr. spurglis, also spergle-wanag\<is\> `sparrow-hawk ' ("sparrow-vulture"(?). If from *σπαρϜ-άσιον, σπαράσιον can be compared with a widespread Germ. name of the sparrow, e.g. Goth. sparwa, OHG sparo, OWNo. spǫrr, PGm. *sparu̯a(n)-. -- Furnée 226 compares σμάρδικον στρουθίον H.
