Grammatical information: f.Meaning: `dew', pl. `dewdrops' (Il.).Other forms: ep. poet. ἐέρση, Dor. ἕρσᾱ, Pi. N. 3, 78 ἔερσᾰ (s. Solmsen Wortforsch. 240 n. 1); in anlaut diff. ἄερσαν την δρόσον. Κρῆτες H., ἀέρσην ( PLit. Lond. 60 [hell.])Compounds: As 2. member perh. in Λιτυέρσης, s. v.Derivatives: ἑρσήεις, ἐερσήεις `dewy' (Il., AP), ἑρσαῖα ἐαρινά, νέα, ἁπαλά, δροσώδη; ἐρρήεντα δροσώδη, καταψυκτικά H. with Att. - ρρ- against the hieratic Ionism in Ε῝ρση as name of the daughter of Kekrop; ἑρσώδης `id.' (Thphr.).Origin: IE [Indo-European] [81] *h₁u̯ers- `rain'Etymology: Unclear is Έρρηφόροι, acc. to H. οἱ τῃ̃ Ε῝ρσῃ ἐπιτελοῦντες τὰ νομιζόμενα, with ἐρρηφορέω; also ἐρσηφόροι, - ρία beside ἀρρη-φόροι; s. v.; s. Nilsson Gr. Rel. 1, 441. The normal form is ἐ(Ϝ)έρση \< h₁uers-; the foms ἀέρση (cf. Solmsen Unt. 261) and those cited above are unexplained, as is ἕρσαι. Sanskrit has varṣám n. `rain' and várṣati `it rains', IE *u̯érseti. Beside it iterative-intensive *u̯orseíō \> Gr. οὑρέω `urinate' (euphemistically) with postverbal οὖρον; here the laryngeal may have beenlost before the o-vocalism; s. also οὑρανός. Because of the accent and because of the ε-vowel ἕρση cannot be a verbal noun (one would expect *οὑρά \< *u̯orsā); rather it is a collective deriv. from a neutral noun *u̯er-os-, u̯er-s-, and further cognates in e. g. MIr. frass `rain', Skt. vŕ̥ṣan- `masculine, man, bull, stallion'.Page in Frisk: 1,566-567Greek-English etymological dictionary (Ελληνικά-Αγγλικά ετυμολογική λεξικό) > ἕρση
