14 ναός

ναός

Grammatical information: m.

Meaning: `temple, house of god, sanctuary' (Dor., Thess., young Att., hell.).

Other forms: ναϜός (Lac.), ναῦος (Lesb.), νηός (Hom., Hdt.), νεώς (Att.).

Compounds: Compp., e.g. ναο-κόρος (Delph.), να-κόρος (Dor.), νεω-(νεο-)κό-ρος (IA., hell.) m. `temple-warden' with derivv. (s. κορέω); να(ο)-, νεω-ποιός, second. (Schwyzer 451) - πο(ί)ας, - πο(ί)ης name of an office in charge of the building of a temple, with - ποιέω, - ποιία, - ποιεῖον, -ποϊκός a.o. (inscr. since V^a); πρό-ναος (A.), Att. - νεως, also -νάϊος, Ion. -νήϊς ( Άθηνᾶ Προναΐα, - νηΐα), `in front of the temple', substant. πρό-ναος, Ion. - νηος m., - ναον, -νάϊον, -νήϊον n. `front hall' (details in Schwyzer-Debrunner 508 n. 1).

Derivatives: 1. Diminutiva: ναΐδιον (Plb., Str.), ναΐσκος m. (Str., J.) with - ίσκιον, - ισκάριον (Pap., Sch.). -- 2. Adj.: ναϊκός `belonging to a temple' (Dodona). -- 3. Denomin.: ναεύω `take sanctuary in a temple' (Gortyn); ναόω `lead into a temple' (Crete); cf. ναύειν ἱκετεύειν, παρά τὸ ἐπὶ την ἑστίαν καταφεύγειν τοὺς ἱκέτας H.

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

Etymology: As common basis of the different dialectforms (s. Schwyzer 224 w. n. 4, 282, Björck Alpha impurum 326 ff.) we get *νασϜος. Therefore the word is mostly analysed as *νασ-Ϝο-ς and as `habitation, house (of the god)' derived from νάσ-σαι, ναίω (s.v.), which is quite possibke; on the Ϝο- suffix Chantraine Form. 123 f., Schwyzer 472. The etymology however has often been doubted: by Hermann Silbenbildung 50, by Chantraine l.c. and Étrennes Benveniste 4 (perh. Mediterranean word), by Lewy KZ 55, 31 f. (Semit. etym.; not convincing). Hrozný Die älteste Völkerwanderung und die protoind. Zivilisation (Praha 1939) 14f. compares Protoind. (Mohendjo-Daro) nasas `great House, palace, magazine'. Fur. 338 w. n. 13 adduces the variants ναιός (Clinias ap. sch. A.R. 2, 1085, H.) and νειός (inscr. Samos 4 c. B.C,).

CASA ROSADA

Casa Rosada (the “pink house”) in Buenos Aires, is the name of the Argentinian Presidential Palace. Its pink colour was originally chosen (for an earlier building) by president Domingo Sarmiento (1868-74) to represent a combination between the two feuding political traditions of nineteenth century Argentina – red for the Federalists and white for the Unitarians. Argentina's presidents have addressed the people from the balcony of the palace, but the most famous orator to use it was Evita Peron, so there was a huge controversy when film director Alan Parker obtained permission to use the balcony when filming his musical “Evita” in 1997, with Madonna in the title role.
