(St. Byz.); on the formaytion Schwyzer 452.Origin: LW [a loanword which is (probably) not of Pre-Greek origin] Eur. substr.XEtymology: As common basis of the above forms, which show an analogically levelled system, can serve both σκαπ- (with analog. σκαφ- after θάπτω: τάφος, ταφῆναι a. o.) and σκαφ- (with partly phonetical partly anal. σκαπ-). In the first case Italic gives the nearest connection in the relik Lat. scapulae, Umbr. scapla (acc. sg.) `shoulder(blade)', if prop. `shovel' as primary nom. agentis (cf. σκάφαλος above). In the latter case σκάπτω agrees formally to a widespread word for `plane, scratch etc.' in Lat. scăbō, Germ., e.g. OHG scaban, Lith. skabiù ( = σκάπτω; beside this skobiù, skõbti) `scoop out with the chisel, scraper v.t.', to which also Slav., e.g. Russ. skóbelь `plane-iron' etc. (s. W.-Hofmann, Fraenkel and Vasmer s. vv. w. lit.). Also σκάφη, σκάφος a. o. fit better with `plane, scoop out' than with `dig' (Solmsen Wortforsch. 196 ff. w. extensive treatment), without possibility to draw a clear limit. -- If one removes the s- as "movable" and assumes a vocalic variation ē̆: ō̆: ā̆, the etymological field becomes very large. If one goes even a step further and beside ( s)ke \/ o \/ a + p \/ bh- also accepyts a variant skē̆ip \/ b-, and considers that not only the above final consonants, but classifies also the varying vowels as formants or enlargements, we arrive at the `ideal' root sek- `cut etc.' (from which then also come sk-er- and sk-el-). Nobody believes, that such a "systematic" cutting up gives a right pisture of the linguistic processes. Old connections with κόπτω, perh. also with σκέπαρνος (s. vv. w. lit.; to this further still NPers. kāfađ `dig, split') a. cogn. with all kinds of crosses and deviations (!) may be possible, but cannot be demonstrated in detail. -- S. still σκήπτω and σκίπων. -- Frisk's discussion of σκάπτω is hopelessly dated; it refers clearly to Pok. 930 ff.; e.g. we now know that PIE did not have an ablaut e\/a; so the words with -e- must be omitted. I would strike the comparison with Lat. scapula (both for form and meaning). Also Lith. skobiù, skõbti, as Greek has no form with long ā. I think that the forms ( σ)κάπετος (s.v.) may be Pre-Greek, and so the other forms with σκαπ-; as also σκάφαλος and the strange σκαφλεύς. The other forms seem based on * skabh-, as in Lat. scabō and Germ., e.g. OHG scaban. I suggest that this form is a loan of a Eur. substratum.Page in Frisk: 2,718-720Greek-English etymological dictionary (Ελληνικά-Αγγλικά ετυμολογική λεξικό) > σκάπτω

On στάλιξ s. v.Origin: IE [Indo-European]X [probably] [1019] * stel- `put (up), stand'; also [985] * spel- `split'?Etymology: The above forms form in spite of all semantic differentiation a well kept together formal system. Outside the wide semantic cadre are, however, στόλος in the sense of `ships beak a.o.', a meaning which seems difficult to connect with στέλλω `prepare, equip, send out', but which can without difficulty be connected with στελεά, στέλεχος, στήλη [which in my view do not belong to στέλλω]. When judging the etymology some seemingly Aeolic, mostly only lexically attested forms with σπ- (against inscr. ἀπο-, ἐπι-στέλλαι) must not be overlooked: σπελλάμεναι στειλάμεναι, σπολεῖσα σταλεῖσα, εὔσπολον εὑεί-μονα, εὑσταλέα, κασπέλλει (cod. - έλη) στορνύει (all H.); σπόλα = στολή (Sapph.), κασπολέω (- σπελ-?) ὑποστορέσω (Sapph., H.). So ΙΑ. στελ-, Aeol. σπελ- from IE skʷel- (lit. in Persson Beitr. 1, 422)? After Bechtel Dial. 1, 125f. (with Schulze; cf. on this Hamm Grammatik 15 w. n. 3) in IA. στέλλω IE * stel- `send' and skʷel- `equip' (from where Aeol. σπελ-) would have fallen together. The difficulty to find IE * skʷel- back in other languages, as well as the meagre documentation of the σπ-forms both arouse suspicion against such a supposition. For some of the relevant words ( σπόλα, εὔσπολος) one might sonsider a connection with IE * spel- `split' (s. σπολάς). -- Exact cognates outside Greek are missing. Nearest comes Arm. steɫc-anem, aor. steɫc-i `prepare, creare' with unclear c (ɫc from l + s with Pedersen KZ 39, 427 ?); beside it steɫn, pl. steɫun-k` `stem, stalk, twig' (cf. στέλεχος, στελεά). Also several other words go back on IE * stel-, but deviate semantically from στέλλω: Alb. shtiell `wind up, reel up, collect' (IE * stel-n-ō); Germ. nouns as OE stela m. `stalk of a plant', OWNo. stiolr m. `tail-bone', NNorw. stjøl `stalk, stem' (\< * stelu-; cf. στελεχος, στελεά). Here belong also the unclear OWNo. stallr m. `constitution, crib, stable', OHG stal m. `living, seat, stable' (to which stellen) from PGm. * stalla- or * staðla-(IE * stol-no- or * st(h)h₂-dhlo- [to st(h)ā- `stand'; s. ἵστημι]); Skt. sthálam n. `continent, earth-bottom', sthálā f. `raised earth' etc. (cf. on στήλη). -- Further forms w. lit. in WP. 2, 643ff., Pok. 1019f., W.-Hofmann s. locus; older lit. also in Bq. -- The evidence for IE origin is meagre; could the word be Pre-Greek?Page in Frisk: 2,786-788Greek-English etymological dictionary (Ελληνικά-Αγγλικά ετυμολογική λεξικό) > στέλλω

3 ἕλμις
Grammatical information: f.Other forms: (Arist.), gen. ἕλμινθος (with new nom. ἕλμινς Hp.), also ἕλμιγγος etc.; also acc. ἕλμιθα (epid.); nom. pl. ἕλμεις (Dsc.). Difficult λίμινθες ἕλμινθες. Πάφιοι H.Compounds: As 1. member in ἑλμινθο-βότανον `herb used against worms' (medic.).Origin: PG [a word of Pre-Greek origin]Etymology: If the dental- and velar enlargements are removed (Schwyzer 510 and 498, Chantr. Form. 366 and 400) we get a word, that agrees in its ending with two other names for `worm'. (One is found in Indo-Iranian (e. g. Skt. kŕ̥mi-), in Albanian ( krimp), Baltic (e. g. Lith. kirmìs), Slavic (e. g. OCS črъmьnъ `red' \< * črъmь, slov. čr̂m `fingerworm, carbuncle'), Celtic (e. g. OIr. cruim). The other is limited to Latin ( vermis) and Germanic (e. g. Goth. waurms), but has relatives in Balto-Slavic (e. g. OPr. vormyan `red', ORuss. vermie `ἀκρίδες') and Greek (Boeot. PN Ϝάρμιχος; cf. also, with different formation, ῥόμος σκώληξ ἐν ξύλοις H.). Of these IE *kʷr̥mi- seems to be the oldest, both for its wide distribution, especially in frontier areas, as because it is etymologically isolated (cf. Porzig Gliederung 208f.). The riming *u̯r̥mi- may have been adapted to the verb *u̯er- `turn, bend' (cf. ῥόμος and ῥατάναν). A further innovation would be found in Greek because it connected the verb u̯el- `turn, wind' (s. 2. εἰλέω), which gave two further forms for `worm', εὑλή and Ϝάλη (written ὑάλη). (From Tocharian A one adds walyi pl. `worms'.) - The last mentioned (three) forms (with -l-) are clearly unrelated. The IE forms have -r-, but our word has -l- (so the word is not IE, as Furnée 290 holds). Though DELG does not think it necessary to take the - νθ- as a sign of Pre-Greek, I don't see why. Note that the form ἔλμιγγος also shows the typical Pre-Greek prenasalization (cf. acc. ἔλμιθα IG IV 12, 122,10 Epidauros). The form λίμινθες also rather suggests a Pre-Greek variant. Was it *lymi(n)t-? (with proothetic vowel a- which became e- before the palatal l?). Note that the NGr. forms λεβίθα, - ίδες confirm the vowel right of the l (see DELG).Page in Frisk: 1,501Greek-English etymological dictionary (Ελληνικά-Αγγλικά ετυμολογική λεξικό) > ἕλμις

4 μηχανή
Grammatical information: f.Meaning: `means, tool, contrivance, apparatus, machine, device' (IA, Dor.).Other forms: Dor. μαχανά.Compounds: Compp., e.g. μηχανο-ποιός `machine-builder, engineer, machinist' (Att.), ἀ-μήχανος (Dor. - ά-) `without means etc., helpless; who cannot be helped with means, irresistible, impossible' (Il.; partly associated with μηχανάομαι) with ἀμηχαν-ία, - ίη (ι 295), - έω (Ion.).Derivatives: 1. Uncertain Μαχα-νεύς surn. of Zeus (Argos, Tanagra, Cos, since Va; s.v. Wilamowitz Glaube 2, 172), also name of a month (Corcyra), Μαχανεῖος name of a month (Chalcedon); Μαχαν-ίς surn. of Athena (Cos), - ῖτις surn. of Aphrodite and Athena (Megalopolis). -- 2. μηχανιώτης `contriver', of Hermes (h. Merc. 436; after ἀγγελι-ώτης a.o., Zumbach Neuerungen 7). -- 3. μηχανάριος `machinist' (pap.). -- 4. μηχαν-όεις `full of means, inventive' (S.), - ικός `id., belonging to machines, mechanical', subst. `machinebuilder' (X., Arist.; Chantraine Études 101 a. 141). -- 5. μηχάνωμα (Dor. μα-) n. `apparatus, crane' (Thphr., Delphi; enlarged from μηχανη, Chantraine Form. 187). -- 6. Denomin. μηχανάομαι (- άω), aor. μηχανήσασθαι etc., also with prefix, e.g. ἐπι-, ἀντι-, προσ-, `realize, construct, manufacture artificially, devise (with ruse)' (Il.); from this μηχάν-ημα `invention, apparatus, mechanical device' (Hp., D., trag.), - ησις `id.' (Hp., Plb.), - ητής m. `inventor of warmaschines' (Sch.), - ητικός `inventive' (X.). -- Besides μῆχαρ n. indecl. `means, tool' (A., Lyc.), μῆχος (Dor. μᾶ-) n. `id.' (Il., also Hdt.), both as opposed to μηχανή dying words without compp. a. abl.Origin: PG [a word of Pre-Greek origin]Etymology: Not with Frisk from a heteroclitic *μᾶχαρ, *μάχαν-ος, from which with added -ā (cf. Schwyzer 459) the almost absolute reigning μαχαν-ά, μηχαν-ή arose; accent after the verbal nouna ( φυλακ-ή, κομιδ-ή etc.). Beside the r-n-stem as so often an s -stem, μῆχος. -- As cognate are usually with Osthoff PBBeitr. 15, 211 ff. (after Bopp, Pott a.o.) considered some short-vowel verbal forms with accompanying nouns in Germanic and Slavic: Germ., e.g. Goth. mag `can, is able, mag', Slav., e.g. OCS mogǫ, mošti, Russ. mogú, močь `can, be able' with Goth. mahts `power, Macht' etc. = OCS moštь, Russ. močь `id.'. Beside this ti-derivation stands in Germ. a n-formation in OHG magan, megin, OWNo. magn, megin `power, might', which may belong directly to μηχανή. Here also (with v. Windekens Lex. etym.) Toch. A mokats `mighty' (like tsop-ats `great' etc.). -- Diff. Prellwitz (as alternative), Fraenkel Lexis 2, 170 a. Wb. s.v.: to Lith. móku, mokė́ti `can, understand, pay' assuming a IE tenuis asp. kʰ; mag, mogǫ etc. are then classified diff. (to Lith. magù, -ė́ti `please, be pleasant', mė́gstu, mė́gti `love, like' etc.). To connect the last mentioned Lith. words also with μηχανή (W.-Hofmann s. mactus, Vasmer s. mogú) is, apart from the meaning, doubtful already because of the ablaut ē: ā one would have to assume. In 1998, 10f [MKNAW Afd. Lett. 61, 9] I pointed out that in Slavic a laryngeal cannot have been vocalized; so the Germ. and Slavic forms cannot go back to * mh₂gh-. The Greek word then remains isolated. The suffix - αν- is typical for Pre-Greek words; note still that Greek has no forms with *μαχ-. -- From Dor. μαχανά Lat. māchina, from μηχανή Pashto mēčan `handmill' (Morgenstierne Acta Or. 7, 200; 18, 143); on the meaning cf. VLat. māchina also `millstone, handmill', Alb.

Ath.; like κορακῖνος a.o.). -- 3. ἀπόμυξ-ις `snuffling' (Plu.), - ία `mucus' (AB, H.). -- On μύκης `mushroom' s. v.Origin: IE [Indo-European] [744] * mug-, muk- `slime, glide'?; PGX [probably a word of Pre-Greek origin]Etymology: Beside the primary yot-present *μυκ-ι̯ομαι in μύσσομαι stands in Latin a nasal-present ē-mu-n-g-ō `wipe the nose'; cf. σχίζω (:*σχιδ-ι̯ω) beside scindō. Independent parallel formations are ἀπόμυξ-ις and ēmunc-ti-ō. -- Of the derivations only μύξα needs explanation: like κνίση, κνῖσα can go back on the s-stem supposed in Lat. nīdor, μύξα can go back on Lat. mūcor m. `mould, moistness', if from * mūcos (Solmsen Wortforsch. 238 f.). It is unnecessary to assume an adj. *μυξός `slimy' (*μυκ-σ-ός) with Solmsen (and Brugmann Grundr.2 2: 1, 541), as μύξων, μύξος can be explained from μύξα; s. above. For the rare forms with anl. σμ-(σμύσσεται and σμυκτήρ H., σμύξων Arist. beside μύξων) Celtic has a parallel in Gael. smùc, smug `mucus'; from Celt. may still be mentioned the primary to-derivation in MIr. mocht `weak' (\< * muk-to-). The Germ. and Balto-Slav. words adduced, e.g. OWNo. mjūkr, Latv. mukls `palūdōsus' give nothing new for Greek. Further, partly quite doubtful combinations in WP. 2, 253, Pok. 744, W.-Hofmann s. ēmungō. -- On μύσκος μίασμα H. s. μύσος; the rarely attested ἀμυσχρός, ἀμυχρός etc. (s.v.) cannot be certainly interpreted.

Wilamowitz Glaube 2, 187.Origin: PG [a word of Pre-Greek origin]Etymology: Formation like κλ-όνος (from κέλομαι(?); cf. also χρόνος and Κρόνος), from a verb `hold, support, bear', seen e. g. in Skt. perf. dā̆dhā́ra (would be Gr. *τέ-θορ-α), in the athem. root aor. dhr̥-thās (2. sg.), perhaps also in ἐν-θρ-εῖν φυλάσσειν H. (s. θρησκεύω); θρόνος would then be prop. "supporter, bearer". Greek relatives are: θόρναξ ὑποποδιον. Κύπριοι. η ἱερὸν Άπόλλωνος ἐν τῃ̃ Λακωνικῃ̃ H., prob. for *θρόναξ through metathesis and so directly derived from θρόνος. Forms with θρᾱ- are too far away: θρή-σασθαι with θρᾶ-νος (s. v.), θρῆ-νυς; θρά̄-σκω with θρησκεύω (s. v.); there is no indication that they have enything to do with θρόνος. - Representatives in other languages, e. g.

More forms Pok. 252f., W.-Hofmann s. firmus, ferē, Mayrhofer s. dhāráyati. - However, Greek has no forms in - ον-ος, only - ων, - ων-ος and - ων, - ον-ος (Chantr. Form. 159ff); there is no certain instance of IE - ον-ος (as opposed to roots with o-vocalism, like βρόμ-ος); on the other hand most Greek words in - ον-ος are suspected to be of Pre-Greek origin; also there is no word for `chair' derived from the root * dher- (Pok. 252f, nor is there any Greek substantive which is certainly derived from this root (Pok. 252). So we can be rather certain that this word is Pre-Greek.Page in Frisk: 1,686-687Greek-English etymological dictionary (Ελληνικά-Αγγλικά ετυμολογική λεξικό) > θρόνος

7 μείγνυμι
Grammatical information: v.Meaning: `mix, bring together, connect', midd. `mix with each other, convene in battle' (Il.).Other forms: (- μιγ-, s. below; posthom.), - ύω (X., Arist.), μίσγω (Hom., IA. usw.), ὀνεμείχνυτο (Sapph.), aor. μεῖξαι, midd. (ep.) μίκτο (σ- or root aor., Schwyzer 751, Chantraine Gramm. hom. 1, 383), pass. μιγῆναι with fut. - ήσομαι, μ(ε)ιχθῆναι with - ήσομαι, fut. μείξω, - ομαι, perf. midd. μέμ(ε)ιγμαι; act. (hell.) μέμιχα.Compounds: Very often with prefix, e.g συν-, ἐπι-, κατα-, ἀνα-. As 1. member in governing compp. μ(ε)ιξ(ο)-, e.g. μιξ-έλληνες pl. `mixed-, halfhellenes' (Hellanik., hell.), μ(ε)ιξό-θροος `mixing the crying, with mixed crys' (A.); also μισγ-, esp in μισγ-άγκεια f. `place, where clefts meet' (Δ 453), from *μισγ-αγκής, s. Schwyzer 442, Sommer Nominalkomp. 174 f., Chantraine Gramm. hom. 1, 15. As 2. member in παμ-, ἀνα-, συμ-μιγής etc. (IA.); from there μιγής (Nic-.; Schwyzer 426 a. 513), ἀνα-, ἐπι-μίξ adv. `mixed' (Il.).Derivatives: Few derivv. 1. ( σύμ-) μεῖξις (- ι-) `mixing etc.' (IA.; Holt Les noms d'action en - σις 100 A. 2); 2. μεῖγμα (- ί-) `mixing' (Emp., Anaxag., Arist.; μεῖχμ[α] Alc.); 3. ἐπιμ(ε)ιξία, - ίη `mixing, intercourse' (IA.); from ἐπίμ(ε)ικ-τος. 4. μιγάς, - άδος m. f. `mixed, together' (Att.). 5. Several adverbs: ( σύμ-)μίγα, μιγά-δην, - δις, μίγ-δα, - δην (ep. poet.). 6. μιγάζομαι `mix, unite' (θ 271: μίγα, μιγάς; Schwyzer 734).Origin: IE [Indo-European] [714] *meiǵ\/ḱ- `mix'.Etymology: Whether μίγνυμι, which is fequent in mss., is an original zero grade, is very doubtful. Prob. μείγνυμι, built after μεῖξαι, μείξω was early (Schwyzer 697 w. n. 5). Also for other, in principle zero grade forms ( μίξις, ( σύμ) - μικτος, μέμιγμαι) the full grade is often found, μεῖξις etc. For the media in μίσγω, if from *μίγ-σκ-ω (diff. Wackernagel KZ 33, 39 = Kl. Schr. 1, 718: from *μι-μσγ-ω to Lat. mergō etc.), μιγῆναι, μίγα all other languages have tenuis, IE *m(e)iḱ-: Skt. miś-rá- = Lith. mìš-ras `mixed', Balt., e.g. Lith. miešiù, miẽšti `mix', Slav. (caus.), e.g. OCS měšǫ, měšiti `mix'. An iranian maēz- (IE *meiǵ-) in the sense of `mix', adopted by Smith Lang. 4, 178ff. because of Y. 44, 20, does not exist, s. Humbach Münch. Stud. 2, 7, where de form is connected from maēz- `urinate'. A sḱ-present is also well represented in the West: Lat. misceō, OIr. mesc(a)id `mixes, dips in, confuses', Germ., e.g. OHG miscan, NHG mischen (if not Lat. LW [loanword]). The νυ-present however is limited to Greek (so prob. innovation). The nasalinfixed GAv. minaš-, mostly rendered as `you shall mix' (pres. myāsa-), is by Humbach l.c. also derived from maēz- `urinate'. Indian has a reduplicated s-formation in mí-mikṣ-ati `mix' (prob. prop. desiderative), with perf. mimikṣé, caus. mekṣayati. On themselves stand the full grade forms Skt. pres. myakṣati = Av. myāsa-; on the root analysis s. Kuiper Nasalpräs. 123. Also the aorist μεῖξαι is isolated as well as μιγῆναι and the other forms with γ, which is prob. due to assimilation. -- Details in WP. 2, 244f., Pok.714, W. -Hofmann and Ernout-Meillet s. misceō, Fraenkel s. miẽšti, Vasmer s. mesítь.Page in Frisk: 2,192-193Greek-English etymological dictionary (Ελληνικά-Αγγλικά ετυμολογική λεξικό) > μείγνυμι

8 βιω-
Grammatical information: v.Meaning: `live' (Il.).Other forms: ἐβίων, βιῶναι; βείομαι ( βέομαι) (Il.) fut. = subj. (cf. ἔδομαι); βιώσομαι, ἐβίωσα (Hdt.) Med. fact. (θ 468), βεβίωκα. βιόμεσθα (h. Ap. 528 for *βειομεθα? DELG); pres. βιόω (Arist.).Derivatives: βίος `(way of, means of) life'. βιοτή f. `id.' (Od.), βίοτος m. `id.' (Il.); also Cret. βίετος (below). - βιωτός `worth living' (Att.). βιώσιμος `to be lived' (Hdt.) - With δ from *gu, Heracl. ἐνδεδιωκότα, if = ἐμβεβιωκότα, cf. Schwyzer 300. In PN Βιο-; Βίτων \< Βιο-.Etymology: The root ended in a laryngeal, the zero grade * gʷiH- is seen in Av. ǰī-ti-, OCS ži-tь, also in Lat. vīta, Osc. bíitam (acc.); with suffix - uo- it is seen in Skt. jīvá-, OCS živъ Lat. vīvus, etc. `alive' and in Lat. vīvō, Skt. jī́vati, OCS živǫ. (The forms with short i, Goth. qiwa-, Welsh byw, may be due to the following stress (Schrijver Larrr. Lat. 355, 526). - Greek does not have forms with long i, as all its forms have a vowel after the root: * gʷiH-o- \> βίος, * gʷih₃-eto- \> βίοτος (with the suffix agreeing with the meaning; Cret. βίετος will have - ετος restored; cf. for the formation θάνατος); ὑγιής \< *h₁su-gʷih₃-ēs (the vocalism analogically restored). The aorist ἐβίων has been reconstructed as containing the aor.-suffix -ē- (as in ἐμάνην): * gʷih₃-eh₁-. - The full grade I * gʷeih₃- must be assumed for βέ(ί)ομαι (Chantr. Gramm. hom. 1, 452); it is also seen in Skt. gáya-, Av. gaya- `life' (*gʷe\/oih₃-o-); also ORuss. gojь `peace'. - The full grade II * gʷieH- is seen in Av. ǰyā-tu- `life' (Skt. * jyā-tu- reshaped, after jívati, in jīvā́tu-); from this root form prob. Gr. ζωϜός (not from the zero grade of the root). This root form seems also found in Gr. ζώ-ω, ζῆ-ν, s. s. ζώω (so Schwebeablaut cannot be avoided (pace Anttila, PIE Schwebeablaut 1969, 137).

Schwyzer 414 (who unconvincingly takes κνάπτω as assimilated from γνάπτω. Note the typical ο for α in γνόφαλλον bei Alc. ( κνέφαλλον cannot be old ablaut (cf. Persson Beitr. 1, 139f., Schwyzer 343). - As non-Greek cognate one cites a Celtic word for `fleece', e. g. Welsh cnaif (s. Vendryes WuS 12, 243); other forms in Germanic and Baltic are semantically further off, e. g.

10 ὀδών
Grammatical information: m.Meaning: `tooth'Compounds: Several compp., e.g. ὀδοντ-άγρα f. `tooth forceps' (Hp., Arist.), χαυλι-όδων (Hes. Sc. 387), ntr. - όδον and - όδουν (Arist.) `with protruding teeth'.Derivatives: 1. Subst. ὀδοντάριον `little cog' (Heliod. ap. Orib.), ὀδοντ-ίς f. name of a fish (pap. IIIa; on the motive of the name Strömberg Fischnamen 45), - ᾶς m. `dentatus', - ίας m. `dentiosus' (Gloss.); odontītis f. `toothwort, Dentaria' (Plin.; Redard 74). 2. Adj. ὀδοντ-ικός `belonging to the teeth' (medic.), - ωτός `equipped with teeth' (Hero, Luc., Gal.), with ὀδοντόομαι `to be equipped with teeth' (Poll.). 3. Verbs. ὀδοντ-ιάω `to teethe' (Gal.) with - ίασις f. `teetheing' (Dsc., Gal.), - ίζω `to equip with teeth' (Orib.), `to polish (with one tooth)' (pap.; cf. charta dentata and Lagercrantz on PHolm. 4, 40), with - ισμός (Poll.), - ισμα (Eust.) `the grinding of teeth'.Etymology: Aeol. ἔδοντες (with second. barytonesis) suggests that ὀδόντ- stands with vowelassimilation for *ἐδόντ-. However, a tooth does not `eat'; it only bites. The h₃ is confirmed by Arm. atamn (Kortlandt, Armeniaca, index). It is further confirmed by νωδός, which requires *n̥-h₃d- (not an assimilated vowel). And also by ὀδύνη `pain' (with which Arm. erkn cannot be cognate, if only because of the - rk-. The form od- `bite' is also seen in Lith. úodas, Latv. uôds `gnat', from * h₃ed- (with long vowel after Winter's Law). The Aeolic form can easily have ἑδ- after ἔδω. The younger ὀδούς for ὀδών is after διδούς (Solmsen Wortforsch. 30 ff.; hardly acceptable doubt by Schwyzer 566; on the nom. sg. still Gaar Gymnasium 60, 169 ff. [ ὀδούς Att.], Leroy Mél. Jos. Hombert = Phoibos 5 [1950--51] 102 ff.). -- ὀδών, ὀδόντ-ος agrees with the old name of the tooth in Skt. dán, acc. dánt-am m. ( = ὀ-δόντ-α), Lith. dant-ìs m.

11 δίψᾰ
δίψᾰ, - ηςGrammatical information: f.Meaning: `thirst' (Il.).Other forms: rarely δίψη (A. Ch. 756), also δίψος n. (Th.; after πνῖγος, ῥῖγος etc.; s. Chantr. Form. 420)Derivatives: δίψιος `thirsty, dry' (trag.), διψηρός `id.' (Hp.; after αὑχμηρός), διψώδης `id.' (Hp.), διψαλέος `id.' (hell. and late; after ἀζαλέος etc.), διψάς f. `id.' (Thphr.), also name of a snake, whose bite caused a strong thirst (cf. Chantraine 354f.). - δίψακος m. the name of diabetes (medic.; because of the drinking of the patients, Strömberg Wortstudien 89), also plant name `Dipsacus silvestris' (Dsc., Gal.; see Strömberg Pflanzennamen 78), with διψακερός `thirsty' (EM), acc. to H. = ταλαίπωρος; - διψοσύνη = δίψα (Orac. ap.

Κρῆτες H. (s. διφάω).Origin: PG [a word of Pre-Greek origin]Etymology: With διψά̄ων, διψῆν compare πεινά̄ων, πεινῆν; the forms διψά̄ων, πεινά̄ων might be (Aeolic?) analogical formations after the normal epic ending -ά̄ων; διψῆν and πεινῆν are unexplained (Chantraine Gramm. hom. 1, 21 and 362, Leroy Sprachgesch. und Wortbed. 288f.; improbable on διψῆν, πεινῆν K. Meister HK 89 [cf. Fraenkel Mélanges Boisacq 1, 376f.]). These formations show, that they are not denominatives ; rather δίψᾰ, δίψη and πείνη, πεῖνα are postverbal (Schwyzer 476, Chantraine l. c.). Cf. Lasso de la Vega Emerita 22, 88f.; 96f. Meillet speaks of it BSL 28 (1927) 125 (unclear to me). - The final of δίπ-σα can hardly be IE. So prob. a Pre-Greek word.

Enlargements: ῥεμβ-εύω ( κατα- ῥέμβομαι) = ῥέμβομαι, - ασμός m. `roaming' (LXX; *-άζομαι). -- With ablaut ῥόμβος, also ῥύμβος (acc. to gramm. Att.) m. `circular movement, top, hummingtop, magic wheel, tambourine' (Pi., Critias, E.), geom. `rhombus' (Arist., Euc. a.o.; on the meaning Gow JHSt. 54, 1ff., Mugler Dict. géom. s.v.), also n. of a flatfish, `turbot' v.t. (Ath. a.o.; Strömberg Fischn. 38, Thompson Fishes s.v.); ῥομβο-ειδής `rhombus-like, rhomboidic' (Hp., Euc. etc.). From it 1. dimin. ῥυμβ-ίον n. `little top' (sch.); 2. ῥομβ-ωτός `having the form of a rhombus' (hell. a. late); 3. - ηδόν `in the way of a rh.'

Also ῥυμβ-όνες f. pl. `wrigglings' of a snake (A. R.; cf. ἀγκ-όνες a.o.), - ονάω ( ῥεμβ-) `to sway, to hurl away' (Phld., Ael.; after σφενδονάω).Origin: PG [a word of Pre-Greek origin]Etymology: ῥόμβος already in Pi., proves also for the much later attested primary ῥέμβομαι an early date. The byform ῥύμβος reminds of cases like ῥοφέω: ῥυφέω (cf. Schwyzer 351 f.); note also ῥυβόν ἐπικαμ-πές (EM, Hdn. Gr.). -- With ῥέμβομαι one might compare Germ., MLG wrimpen `contract (one's face), rümpfen' (Persson Beitr. 1, 498). An IE *u̯remb- seems nevertheless doubtful, first because of the deviating meanings, second because we have to reckon with several kinds of rhiming formations (s. lit. in Persson l.c. and WP. 1, 276). At least as uncertain is the comparison with Lith. reñgtis `bow, buck' (de Saussure MSL 8, 443 n.) a.o. (s. Lidén Ein balt.-slav. Anlautges. 14 f.). Together with ῥάμφος, ῥέμφος, ῥάμνος, ῥάβδος, ῥέπω, ῥέμβομαι forms a rather motley heap, in which one finds a root u̯er- enlarged with a labial (β, φ, π) with the most flexible meaning `turn'; beside the labials one finds also velar and dental enlargements, s. WP. 1, 270ff., Pok. 1152ff.

Grammatical information: v.Meaning: `cut (off), shave, esp. of hair, mow off, cut down, ravage' (Il.).Other forms: Aor. κεῖραι, ep. also κέρσαι, pass. καρῆναι ( καρθέντες with v. l. κερθέντες Pi. P. 4, 82), fut. κερέω, κερῶ, perf. pass. κέκαρμαι, new act. κέκαρκα (hell.),Compounds: often with prefix, e. g. ἀπο-, δια-, περι-. Comp. ἀ-κερσε-κόμης `with uncut hair' (Υ 39), also ἀ-κειρε-κόμᾱς, - ης (Pi.); on the form Schwyzer 442, on the meaning Fink Philol. 93, 404ff.Derivatives: 1. κέρμα n. `cut off piece, esp. small piece of money, change' (Emp. 101, 1 [not quite certain], Com., hell.) with κερμάτιον (hell.) and κερματίζω `change in small money' (Att., Arist.); from it κερματιστής `money-changer' (Ev. Jo. 2. 14), κερματισμός `cut into little bits' (Olymp.); κερματόομαι = - ίζομαι (Procl.). - 2. κορμός m. `cut off piece, bobbin, trunk' (ψ 196) with κορμίον (hell.), κορμηδόν `in pieces' (Hld.), κορμάζω `saw into pieces' (D. H.). - 3. κουρα s. v. 4. καρτός s. v. - Cf. also κόρση, κόρις, κέρτομος, 2. κέλωρ.Etymology: κείρω from *κερ-ι̯ω (Schwyzer 715, 751, 759), belongs to a widespread IE. wordgroup; but exact agreements of the Greek verb forms. Nearest is Arm. k` erem `scratch, shave' (sec. aorist k`ere-c̣i; diff. Meillet BSL 37, 12), Alb. sh-kjer `tear apart' (pret. \> sh-kora \< IE. * kēr-); further Hitt. karšmi `cut off' (with s-enlargement as in κουρά; s. v.). Frequent are forms with initial * sk-: Germ., OHG sceran ` scheren', Lith. skiriù, skìrti `separate', OIr. scar(a)im `separate'. A t-enlargement in Skt. kr̥-n-t-áti `separates' (infixed nasal present; perf. ca-kart-a); this would be possible for the aorist ἔκερσα (if \< *ἔ-κερτ-σα, Risch 219). - The number of nominal derivv. in the separate languages is enormous, partly parallel innoavtions. Thus formal agreement exists between κέρμα and Skt. cárman-, Av. čarǝman- n. `skin, hide', OPr. kērmens m. `body' (IE. *kér-men-); diff. only in ablaut betwen κορμός and OCS krъma f. `steering oar, back part of the ship', Russ. kormá `puppis'. - Further Pok. 938ff., W.-Hofmann s. carō, cēna, corium.Page in Frisk: 1,810-811Greek-English etymological dictionary (Ελληνικά-Αγγλικά ετυμολογική λεξικό) > κείρω

16 μυῖα
Grammatical information: f.Meaning: `fly' (Il.).Other forms: also μῦαCompounds: Some compp., e.g. μυ(ι)ο-σόβη f. `fan against flies, fly-flap' (Delos IIIa, Men.), μύωψ m. `horse-fly; goad, spur' (s. v.), κυνά-μυια f. `dog-fly' (s. v.).Derivatives: 1. μυϊ̃τις, - ιδος f. = θλάσπι, `Capsella bursa pastoris' (Ps.-Dsc.; Redard 71), also μυιό-πτερον (ibd.), as the separating wall of the fruit was compared with the wing of a fly (Strömberg Pflanzennamen 55). -- 2. μυιϊκός `belonging to a fly' (gloss.), μυιώδης name of a god in Elis, who was also called μυί-αγρος "fly-catcher" (Plin.). -- 3. μυΐνδα παίζειν `play the game μυῖα χαλκῆ' (Poll., H.).Origin: IE [Indo-European] [752]Etymology: Formation with ι̯α-suffix like νῆσσα, κίσσα and other animals' names (Chantraine Form. 98). Old word for `fly, mosquito', found in several languages, but because of its popular character subject to all kinds of transformations. PGr. *μύσ-ι̯α, from where μυῖα, agrees best with Lith. mus-ià, mus-ė̃ `fly' and with Slav., e.g. OCS mьš-i-ca `mosquito'. Beside it with k-suffix Lat. mus-ca `fly', with n-suffix Arm. mun, gen. mn-oy `mosquito', if from * mus-no-. Also an s-less basis * mu-no- is possible as a.o. in OWNo. my n. from PNord. *mū-i̯a- n. There are also forms with (secondarily developped ?) velar: Germ., e.g. OHG mucka ' Mücke', with ou-diphthong: Slav., e.g. OCS and Russ. múcha `fly' (IE * mousā) etc., s.

( βαβάζω, s. v.). - Mod. Gr. forms in Hatzidakis Lexikogr. Archiv ( Anh. Άθ. 26) 48ff., also G. Meyer IF 6, 107f.Derivatives: Demin. βατράχιον (Paus.), plant `Ranunculus' (Hp., Dsc., cf. Strömberg Pflanzennamen 119); βατραχίσκοι μέρος τι τῆς κιθάρας H.; on the suffixes Chantr. Form. 408. - βατραχίτης, - ῖτις ( λίθος; from the colour; Plin.; s. Redard Les noms grecs en - της 53).Origin: PG [a word of Pre-Greek origin]Etymology: Several variants will be due to folketymology or taboo, and also simple phonetic variation. A priori for all these forms a local, i.e. Pre-Gr. form is to be expected. To this will point the variation α\/ο. This holds also for βαρδακος if this must be read in H. for βαρακος βάραχος (Fur. 184 A. 2; s. Latte). The form may in origin have been onomat.? (cf. Grošelj, Živa Ant. 6 (1956) 235) βρατ-αχ-, cf. βρεκεκεξ. Or even * brt-ak-, from which the forms with - υ- might come ( βύρθακος, βρύτιχος). The desperate forms βριαγχόνη, βρόγχος (this form to be read for βρούχετος?) contain a (misread) prenasalized *( βρατ)αγχος, which would also point to Pre-Greek. On the χ-suffix in animal names Specht Ursprung 255. - The forms βλικ\/χ- and βάβακοι, of course, are etymologically unrelated. - For the meaning `hearth' Szemerényi, Gnomon 43 (1971) 660 refers to Alb. vatre.Page in Frisk: 1,226-227Greek-English etymological dictionary (Ελληνικά-Αγγλικά ετυμολογική λεξικό) > βάτραχος

18 νέω 2
νέω 2Grammatical information: v.Meaning: `spin'.Other forms: 3. sg. νῃ̃ (νῆ, νεῖ; Hes. Op. 777), 3. pl. νῶσι (Ael., Poll.), ipf. ἔννη (Aeol.; Hdn., EM), inf. νῆν, ptc. νῶντα (H.), νώμενος (Poll.); besides νήθω (Cratin., Pl., LXX); aor. νῆσαι, - ασθαι (since η 198); νῶσαι (Eup. 319; ptc.pl. f.?; Meineke νῆσαι), pass. νηθῆναι and fut. νήσω (Att.), perf. midd. νένησμαι (late).Derivatives: νῆμα n. `tectile fabric, thread' (Od.) with νηματ-ικός `consisting of threads' (Ath. Mech.), - ώδης `fibrous' (Plu.); νῆσις f. `spinning' (Pl.); νῆτρον n. `distaff' (Suid.); νήθουσα f. plantname s.s.v.Etymology: On the dental enlargement in νή-θω cf. κνή-θω (: κνῆ-ν), πλή-θω (: πλῆ-το) a.o. (Schwyzer 703). -- From ἔ-ννη and ἐΰ-ννητος `well spun' (Hom.) appears an orig. sn-, which is also seen in MIr. snīid `spinns, restores' and perh. in Lat. nē-re `spin'; an s-less form is however ascertained a.o. by German., e.g. OHG nā-en `sew'. Monosyllabic νῃ̃ can stand for *σνηι-ει and can be compared directly with Skt. snāy-ati `winds around, clothes' and with Lat. neō \< * snēi-ō (on the stem s. below). Like ἔ-ννη from * e-snē can νῆ also be athematic (Schwyzer 675). But νῶσι, νῶντα, νώμενος are rather thematic from *νη-ουσι, *νή-οντα, *νη-όμενος than with old ō-ablaut, which however occurs frequently outside Greek, e.g. in Latv. snāju, snāt `wind together loosely, e.g. spinning' and in several nouns like OIr. snāthe `thread', OGutn. snōÞ `cord' = OE snōd `headband' (OHG snuor ' Schnur' is polyinterpret.). Beside IE snē-: snō- there are, esp. in Balto-Slav., forms with ī-vowel, e.g. Russ. nitь `thread'; for νῃ̃ \< *σνηι-ει, snāyati (beside snāy-u- `band, sinew'), Lat. neō, remains beside the explanation as yotpresent also an old longdiphthong to be sonsidered [improbable]. -- With νῆμα agrees Lat. nēmen n. `phantom', which is however a young formation; OCS snopь `sheaf, band', compared by Specht KZ 68, 123 is far away. Also the genetically identical νῆσις and OHG nāt ' Naht' are rather parallel innovations. -- WP. 2, 694f., Pok. 973, W.-Hofmann s. neō, Vasmer s. nítь, Fraenkel Wb. s. nýtis; everywhere further forms and rich literature.Page in Frisk: 2,Greek-English etymological dictionary (Ελληνικά-Αγγλικά ετυμολογική λεξικό) > νέω 2

19 στυγέω
Grammatical information: v.Meaning: `to hate, to detest, to hold back' (ep. poet., Il., Hdt. a. late prose).Other forms: Aor. στυγεῖν (Hom., Call., Nic. a.o.), στύξαι (λ 502 [caus.], A. R., Opp., AP), στυγ-ῆσαι, pass. - ηθῆναι, fut. - ήσομαι (trag.), perf. ἐστύγ-ηκα (Hdt. a.o.), - ημαι (Lyc.), - μαι (H.).Derivatives: στυγ-ητός `hated, detestable' (A. Pr., late prose), - ημα n. `object of hate, detestation' (E. a.o.), ἀπο- στυγέω ησις f. `detestation' (sch.). -- Besides the adj. 1. στυγ-ερός `hated, full of hate, detestable' (ep. poet. Il.). 2. - νός `id.', also `gruesome, sad etc.' (Archil., Hp., trag. etc.) with - νότης f. (hell. a. late), - νία f. (sch.), - νόομαι (also w. κατα-) `to be somber' (AP, H.), - νωσον χώρισον H., - νάζω (also w. δια-, κατα-, συν-) `to be, become overcast' (NT a.o.) with - νασις f. (late). 3. - ιος `hated, detestable' (E., Plu.; cf. on Στύξ below). Subst. 1. στύγος n. `hate, object of hate' (A. a.o.). 2. Στύξ, - γός f. river in the Underworld (Hom. etc.) with adj. Στύγιος (trag. a.o.), name of an Arcadian mountain brook wit icecold water (Hdt., Str., Paus.), also appellat. `hate, detestation' (Alciphr.), pl. `icy cold' (Thphr.); also = σκώψ (Ant. Lib. a.o.). Compp. στυγ-άνωρ `hating men' (A. Pr.), ψευσί-στυξ `hating lies' (AP).Etymology: The rise of the above forms cannot be reconstructed with certainty. Old is in any case the primary suffixless Στύξ; whether the pres. στυγέω or the aor. ἔστυγον was prior cannot be decided, as the latter just like στύξαι can be metrically conditioned; cf. ἔκτυπον s. κτύπος (also Schwyzer 721 and Chantraine Gramm. hom. 1, 347). From στυγέω first στυγη-τός, - μα, prob. also as backformation στύγος (cf. μισέω: μῖσος). The adj. can be explained in diff. ways. -- No certain etymology. As behind the notion `hate' a concrete conception will be hidden and for στύξ the meaning `icy cold, icecold water' is in fact attested (from where στυγέω prop. `shiver'?) it is obvious to connect a synonymous Slav. word: Russ. stýgnutь, stúgnutь `cool down, get cold, freeze', Stugna tributary of the Dniepr. Much less usual are forms with -d-, e.g. Russ. stúda `cold', studítь `cool (down)', OCS studъ also = αἰσχύνη; a Slavic change - dn- to - gn- is perhaps not to be excluded (s. lit. in Vasmer s. stýgnutь). Connection with a verb for `push etc.', e.g. Skt. tujáti, Germ., e.g. NLG stūken, is semantically more difficult to motivate.
