Grammatical information: f.

Meaning: `(human) voice, sound, speech' (Il.).

Other forms: *οὐδήεσσα is a suggestion of Aristotle for αὐδ., meant as `ἐπίγειος'; Beekes, Die Spr. 18, 1972, 127f.

Derivatives: αὐδήεις `with (human) voice' (Il.); denom. verb αὐδάω, aor. αὐδῆσαι `talk, speak, speak to' (Il.). (Chantr.'s opposition of a god(dess) with a human voice, language as opposed to the language of the gods is wrong. It means `having a voice (to speak with)', which may be `human' or `beautiful' as the context requires; s. Beekes, l.c. 128 n.3.

Origin: IE [Indo-European] [76] * h₂ued- `speak'

Etymology: Long since derived from a root au̯ed-, seen in ἀείδω, and with long grade in ἀ(Ϝ)ηδ-ών. An o-grade (* h₂uod-, perhaps with loss of the laryngeal: De Saussure's law) would be found in ` Ησί-(Ϝ)οδος and in Ϝοδόν (written γοδόν) γόητα and Ϝοδᾶν (written γ-) κλαίειν H. (but Chantr. considers the glosses unreliable). The zero grade was seen in ὑδέω. The problem is that * h₂u-ed- beside * h₂u-ei-d is not easy, and that a long vowel in *h₂u-ēd- is also not very probable; there is also discussion whether * h₂ud- gave ὑδ- (Beekes) or αὐδ- (Peters, Lar. 65ff, 72). - Outside Greek * h₂ued- perhaps in Skt. vádati `speak', with zero grade ud- in ud-itá-. (Lith. vadinù `call, name', however, has *- dʰ-: Winter's law). Long grade e. g. Skt. vāda- m. `sound, call', OCS vada `calumnia', OHG far-wāʒan `deny'. Uncertain Toch. A wätk-, B watk- `order'. - S. ἀηδών, ἀείδω, ὑδέω, οὐδήεσσα.

Grammatical information: n.

Meaning: `lily, Lilium candidum' (h. Cer. 427, Hp., A. R., Thphr., Dsc.; λείριον ἄνθεμον Pi.), also `narciss' (Thphr., Dsc.).

Compounds: As 2. member im PN Ποδα-λείριος (Il.).

Derivatives: λείρινος `made of lilies' (Dsc., Gal.), also `lily-like' ( ἄνθος, Thphr. HP 3, 18, 11; not quite certain), λειρι-ώδης `lily-like' (Thphr.), - όεις `belonging to the lily' (Nic. Al. 406). - Also λειριόεις of the skin (N 830), of the voice or the song of the cicadas (Γ 152), of the song of the Muses (Hes. Th. 41, Q. S. 2, 418); λείριος of the voice (A. R., Orph.), also of the eyes (B. 17, 95), λειρός, n. pl. λειρά of the song of the cicadas (IG 14, 1934 f6, verse-inscr.).

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

Etymology: Like Lat. līlium the word comes from an eastern Mediterraneam language; a comparable deignation of the lily is found in Coptic, hrêri, hlêli (Egypt. ḥrr-t). Further several words for `flower', Hamit. ilili, alili, Alb. lule, Hitt. alil, alēl; s. W.-Hofmann s. līlium, Benveniste BSL 50, 43. - Also the poetic λειριόεις and the later attested, prob. backformations λείριος and λειρός as adjuncts of the skin and the voice can be understood as derivv. of λείριον ('lily-white, -soft'), s. Wærn Eranos 50, 19 f. Leumann Hom. Wörter 27 f. (who for Ποδα-λείριος reminds of the opposite Μελάμ-πους) calls the problem unsolvable as intermediate phases cannot be reconstructed. - Quite diff. Bechtel (s. Lex. s. λειριόεις), Fick 1, 538, Fraenkel Wb. 330: to λειρός (cod.- ώς) ὁ ἰσχνὸς καὶ ὠχρός H.; through dissimilation from *λειλός to Lith. leĩlas `thin, slender'.

Meaning: `(prognostic) voice, rumour' (Β 93).

Other forms: Att. ὄττα.

Derivatives: ὀττεύομαι `to interpret, to wait for omens, to predict' (Ar., Plb., D. H., Plu.) with ὀττεία f. `prediction' (D.H.); prob. after μαντεύομαι.

Origin: IE [Indo-European] [1135] *u̯ekʷ- `voice, speak'

Etymology: Formation like γλῶσσα (: γλῶχ-ες) a.o., with ια-suffix from ὄπ- `voice' in ὄπ-α etc. (s. 1. *ὄψ), personified as superhuman (godlike) being; s. Schwyzer 474, Schulze Kl. Schr. 210, Specht Ursprung 329, Porzig Satzinhalte 349, Chantraine Fondation Hardt. Entretiens I (1952) p. 59.

Meaning: `voice, speech' (Il.).

Dialectal forms: Dor. γᾶρυς, - υος

Derivatives: γηρύω, γαρύω `sing, speak' (h. Merc.), γήρυμα (A.).

Origin: IE [Indo-European] [352] * geh₂ru- `voice, sound'

Etymology: Comparable forms are found in Celtic and Germanic. However, these have often a short vowel: from Germanic one cites Goth. kara f. `care, solicitude' and OE cearu f. `id.', OHG chara f. `lament(ation)'; OIr. ad-gair \< * gar-et. (But LIV 142 reconstructs *gr̥-i̯e-). Further there are forms with - rr-: Lat. garrio, with which Gr. γαρριώμεθα (q.v.; hardly with expressive gemination) is connected. For γῆρυς one assumes lengthened grade, but this is quite improbable in PIE (especially in the case of a); it is evident to reconstruct * geh₂r-. But one cites OIr. gāir f. `cry', Welsh gawr `crying, battle'. Perhaps the group must be split (in this way also LIV, for semantic reasons); a reconstruction *ǵar- is impossible, as PIE did not have an a.

Etymology: Ahrens Philol. 27, 590 proposes after Alcm. 26, 1 to write ἱεροφώνων. (Certainly not with Muller Mnemos. 46, 139ff. to Lat. aes etc. as `with metal(lic) voice(s)'; cf. Kretschmer Glotta 11, 247).

Derivatives: ἰσχνότης `dryness etc.' (Hp., Arist.); denomin. verbs: 1. ἰσχναίνω, also with prefix as κατ-, ἀπ-, `dry up, make lean' (IA) with ἰσχνασία, - ίη `dried up position, leanness' (Hp., Arist.; on the formation Schwyzer 469), ἰσχνασμός (Hp.), ἴσχνανσις (Paul. Aeg.) `drying up', ἰσχναντικός `drying up, becoming lean' (Arist.); 2. ἰσχνόομαι, - όω, also with ἀπ-, ἐξ- a. o., `get, make dry' (Hp., Arist.) with ἴσχνωσις, - ωτικός (medic. a. o.). - Beside it ἰσχαλέος `dry, barren' (τ 233, Man.) and ἰσχάς, - άδος f. `dried fig' (Com., Arist.) with ἰσχαδο-πώλης, ἰσχάδιον a. o. (Com.).

Origin: XX [etym. unknown]

Etymology: ἰσχ-ν-ός, ἰσχ-αλ-έος does not show old variation ν: λ, which is no IE category ( σμερδνός: σμερδαλέος does exist, of course, Schwyzer 484, Chantraine Formation 253). One might have expected a verb ἰσχαίνω ( κερδαλέος: κερδαίνω), which is often found as v. l., but it may also be a mix with ἰσχάνω `hold back'. A related u-stem has been assumed in Av. hišku-, Celt., e. g. MIr. sesc `dry', IE * si-sk-u(-o)-. (One uspposed for ἰσχνός an ad hoc basis * si-sk-sno- (Brugmann Grundr.² 2: 1, 475); from an s-stem? - Unclear is the basis of ἰσχάς; after οἰνάς, κοτινάς, φυτάς, μυρτάς etc. one would suppose a noun. Further suggestions (IE sek- `dry up') in Bq, Pok. 894f., W.-Hofmann s. siccus. - Not with Osthoff IF 27, 181ff. to Lat. vēscus `emaciated, lean' (to vēscor, s. W.-Hofmann s. v.).

Grammatical information: m.

Meaning: `raw voice, hoarseness' (Hp., S. Ichn. 128), `raw surface, rough excrescence' (S. Fr. 279), auch = ὁ τῶν ἀργυρίων κονιορτός (Poll. 7, 99).

Compounds: Compp. ἄ-κερχνος `without hoarseness' (Aret.), αἱμό-κερχνον n. `cough with blood spitting' (Hp.; subst. bahuvrihi). From ἄκερχνος and κέρχνω arose the adj. κέρχνος ( κερχνός?) `raw' of the voice, `hoarse' (Gal.) [??].

Derivatives: κερχνώδης `raw, hoarse' (Hp.), κερχνασμός `rawness, hoarsness' (Gal.; as if from *κερχνάζω). Denomin. verb κερχνόομαι, - όω `be raw, uneven or make, engrave' (H.) with κερχνώματα pl. `unevennesses, elevated, embossed(?) work' (H.; after this also E. Ph. 1386 to be read for κεγχρώμασι?, cf. on κέγχρος), κερχνωτός `embossed, engraved' (H.); also κέρχνω `be or make hoarse' (Hp.; on the formation Schwyzer 723 Zus.). - Beside it κερχαλεος `raw hoarse' (Hp.), also κερχναλέος (Hp. v. l., Gal.; cf. below). On κερχνηΐς s. v.

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

Etymology: Without certain connection; onomatopoetic? The form κρέξ (name of a bird) seems hardly comparable. One proposes κέρχνος \< *κέρκ-σνος? Pisani Ist. Lomb. 73: 2, 12 reminds of Skt. ghar-ghara- m. `crackling, rattling' (and independent Lat. hirriō `grumble', OE. gierran `crack, creak, girren' etc. (Pok. 439); κέρχνος would continue *κερ-χρ-ο-ς. κερχαλέος would be analogical, as ἰσχνός: ἰσχαλέος. Fur. 340 compares κάρχαρος. If the word is Pre-Greek, it could simply be * KerK-no-, with aspiration before the n.

Meaning: `voice of a god, devine revelation, oracle, emblem' (Il.), `voice, speech' in gen. (Pi., trag.).

Compounds: Few compp., e.g. Όμφο-κλέϜης m. Cyprian in Abydos, εὔ-ομφα ὀνόματα H.; enlarged in παν-ομφ-αῖος `having all ὀμφαι, saying everything', surn. of Zeus (Θ 250, Simon., Orph.), also of Ήέλιος (Q. S.) and Ἥρα (EM), after the σ-stems transformed in παν-ομφ-ής ( ὄνειροι, Orac. ap. Porph.).

Origin: IE [Indo-European] [906] * sengʷʰ- `sing'

Etymology: Archaic, in Greek isolated inherited word (cf. Porzig Satzinhalte 322), which shows cognates only in Germanic. Beside ὀμφ-ή from IE * songʷʰ-ā́ stands e.g. Goth. saggws m. ' song, music, lecture' from IE *sóngʷʰ- o-s (as τομή: τόμος etc.); the basic primary verb is retained only in Germ., e.g. Goth. siggwan ' singen, lecture' IE * sengʷʰ-. Older lit. in Bq and WP. 2, 496; s. also Bechtel Lex. s. v. (The proposed Prakr. cognate is also explained diff. (s. Pok.); then only Germanic remains to show the IE character.

or -AT or -T, a negative suffix to verbs, peculiar to Iceland and a part, at least, of Norway. Occurs frequently in old Icelandic poetry and laws, so as almost to form a complete negative voice. In the 1st pers. a personal pronoun k (g) = ek is inserted before the negative suffix, in the 2nd pers. a t or tt. As a rule the pron. as thus repeated; má-k-at-ek, non possum; sé-k-at-ek, non video; hef-k-at-ek, non habeo; skal-k-at-ek; vil-k-at-ek, nolo; mon-k-at-ek, non ero, etc.: 2nd pers. skal-t-at-tu; mon-t-at-tu; gaf-t-at-tu, non dabas: and after a long vowel a tt, mátt-at-tu, sátt-at-tu; so almost invariably in all monosyllabic verbal forms; but not so in bisyllabic ones, máttir-a-þú, non poteras: yet in some instances in the 1st pers. a pronominal g is inserted, e. g. bjargi-g-a-k, verbally servem ego non ego; höggvi-g-a-k, non cædam; stöðvi-g-a-k, quin sistam; vildi-g-a-k, nolui; hafði-g-a-k, non babui; mátti-g-a-k, non potui; görði-g-a-k, non feci: if the verb has gg as final radical consonants, they change into kk, e. g. þikk-at-ek = þigg-k-at-ek, nolo accipere. In the 3rd pers. a and at or t are used indifferently, t being particularly suffixed to bisyllabic verbal flexions ending in a vowel, in order to avoid an hiatus,—skal-at or skal-a, non erit; but skolo-t, non sunto: forms with an hiatus, however, occur,—bíti-a, non mordat; renni-a, ne currat; skríði-a, id.; leti-a, ne retardet; væri-a, ne esset; urðu-a, non erant; but bíti-t, renni-t, skríði-t, urðu-t are more current forms: v. Lex. Poët. The negative suffix is almost peculiar to indic., conj., and imperat. moods; the neg. infin. hardly occurs. Nothing analogous to this form is to be found in any South-Teutonic idiom; neither do there remain any traces of its having been used in Sweden or Denmark. A single exception is the Runic verse on a stone monument in Öland, an old Danish province, now Swedish, where however the inscriptions may proceed from a Norse or Icel. hand. The Runic inscriptions run thus, sa’r aigi flo, who did not fly, old Icel. ‘flo-at,’ Baut. 1169. Neither does it occur in any Norse prose monuments (laws): but its use may yet be inferred from its occurrence in Norse poets of the 10th century, e. g. the poets Eyvind and Thiodolf; some of which instances, however, may be due to their being transmitted through Icel. oral tradition. In Bragi Gamli (9th century) it occurs twice or thrice; in the Haustlöng four times, in Ynglingatal four times, in Hákonarmál once (all Norse poems of the 10th century). In Icel. the suffixed negation was in full force through the whole of the 10th century. A slight difference in idioms, however, may be observed: Völuspá, e. g., prefers the negation by né (using vas-at only once, verse 3). In the old Hávamal the suffix abounds (being used thirty-five times), see the verses 6, 10, 11, 18, 26, 29, 30, 34, 37–39, 49, 51, 52, 68, 74, 88, 113–115, 126–128, 130, 134, 136, 147, 149, 151, 153, 159. In Skírnismál, Harbarðsljóð, Lokasenna—all these poems probably composed by the same author, and not before the 10th century—about thirty times, viz. Hbl. 3, 4, 8, 14, 26, 35, 56; Skm. 5, 18, 22; Ls. 15, 16, 18, 25, 28, 30, 36, 42, 47, 49, 56, 60, 62. Egil (born circa 900, died circa 990) abounds in the use of the suffixed neg. (he most commonly avails himself of -at, -gi, or né): so, too, does Hallfred (born circa 968, died 1008), Einar Skálaglam in Vellekla (circa 940–995), and Thorarin in the Máhlíðingavísur (composed in the year 981); and in the few epigrams relating to the introduction of Christianity in Icel. (995–1000) there occur mon-k-að-ek, tek-k-at-ek, vil-k-at-ek, hlífði-t, mon-a, es-a; cp. the Kristni S. and Njala. From this time, however, its use becomes more rare. Sighvat (born circa 995, died 1040) still makes a frequent but not exclusive use of it. Subsequent poets use it now and then as an epic form, until it disappeared almost entirely in poetry at the middle or end of the 13th century. In the Sólarljóð there is not a single instance. The verses of some of our Sagas are probably later than the Sagas themselves; the greatest part of the Völsungakviður are scarcely older than the 11th century. In all these -at and conj. eigi are used indifferently. In prose the laws continued to employ the old forms long after they were abolished in common prose. The suffixed verbal negation was used,

α. in the delivering of the oath in the Icel. Courts, esp. the Fifth Court, instituted about the year 1004; and it seems to have been used through the whole of the Icel. Commonwealth (till the year 1272). The oath of the Fifth (High) Court, as preserved in the Grágás, runs in the 1st pers., hefka ek fé borit í dóm þenna til liðs mér um sök þessa, ok ek monka bjóða, hefka ek fundit, ok monka ek finna, hvárki til laga né ólaga, p. 79; and again p. 81, only different as to ek hefka, ek monka (new Ed.): 3rd pers., hefirat hann fé; borit í dóm þenna ok monat hann bjóða, ok hefirat hann fundit, ok monat hann tinna, 80, 81; cp. also 82, and Nj. l. c. ch. 145, where it is interesting to observe that the author confounds the ist and 3rd persons, a sign of decay in grammatical form.

β. the Speaker (lögsögumaðr), in publicly reciting and explaining the law, and speaking in the name of the law, from the Hill of Laws (lögberg), frequently employed the old form, esp. in the legal words of command es and skal (yet seldom in plur.): erat in the dictatorial phrases, erat skyldr (skylt), non esto obligatus; erat landeigandi skyldr, Grág. (Kb.) i. 17; erat hinn skyldr, 21; yngri maðr era skyldr at fasta, 35; enda erat honum þá skylt at …, 48; erat þat sakar spell, 127; era hinn þá skyldr at lýsa, 154; erat hann framar skyldr sakráða, 216; ok erat hann skyldr at ábyrgjask þat fé, 238; ok erat hann skyldr, id.; ok erat sakar aðili ella skyldr, ii. 74; erat hinn skyldr við at taka, 142; erat manni skylt at taka búfé, 143; enda erat heimting til fjár þess, 169; era hann þá skyldr at taka við í öðru fé nema hann vili, 209; ok erat þeim skylt at tíunda fé sitt, 211; ok erat hann skyldr at gjalda tíund af því, 212; erat kirkjudrottinn þá skyldr, 228; ef hann erat landeigandi, i. 136. Skalat: skalat maðr eiga fó óborit, i. 23; skalat homum þat verða optar en um siun, 55; skalat maðr ryðja við sjálfan sik, 62; skalat hann þat svá dvelja, 68; skalat hann til véfangs ganga, 71; skalat aðilja í stefnuvætti hafa, 127; ok skala hann gjalda fyrir þat, 135; ok skalat hann með sök fara, 171; enda skalat hann fleirum baugum bœta, 199; skalat hann skilja félagit, 240; skalat hann meiri skuld eiga en, ii. 4; skalat þeim meðan á brott skipta, 5; skalat hann lögvillr verða, svá, 34; skalat hon at heldr varðveita þat fé, 59; í skalat enn sami maðr þar lengr vera, 71; ok skala honum bæta þat, 79; skalat fyl telja, 89; skalat hann banna fiskför, 123; skalat hann lóga fé því á engi veg, 158; skalat drepa þá menn, 167; skalat svá skipta manneldi, 173; skalat maðr reiðast við fjórðungi vísu, 183. Plur.: skolut menn andvitni bera ok hér á þingi, i. 68; skolut mál hans standast, 71; skolut þeir færi til vefangs ganga en, 75, etc. etc. Other instances are rare: tekrat þar fé er eigi er til (a proverb), i. 9; ok um telrat þat til sakbóta, ok of telrat þá til sakbóta ( it does not count), 178; ef hann villat ( will not) lýsa sár sitt, 51; ok ræðrat hann öðrum mönnum á hendr þann úmaga, 248; ræðrat sá sínum ómögum á hendr, ii. 18; verðrat honum at sakarspelli and verðrat honum þat at s., i. 63; verðrat honum þat at sakarvörn, 149; kömrat hann öðru við, ii. 141; þarfat hann bíða til þess, i. 70; ok skilrat hann frá aðra aura, ii. 141, i. 136. Reflexive form: kömskat hann til heimtingar um þat fé, he loses the claim to the money, ii. 180, etc. All these instances are taken from the Kb. (Ed. 1853). Remarkable is also the ambiguity in the oath of Glum (see Sir Edm. Head, Viga-Glum, pp. 102, 103, note, I. c.), who, instead of the plain common formal oath—vask-at-ek þar, vák-at-ek þar, rauðk-at-ek þar odd ok egg—said, vask at þar, vák at þar, rauðk at þar. He inverted the sense by dropping the intermediate pronominal ek between the verb and þar, and pronouncing ‒ ‒́ instead of ‒́ ⏑. It further occurs in some few proverbs: varat af vöru, sleikði um þvöru, Fs. 159; veldrat sá er varir, Nj. 61 (now commonly ekki veldr sá er v., so in Grett.); erat héra at borgnara þótt hœna beri skjöld, Fms. vii. 116; era hlums vant kvað refr, dró hörpu á ísi, 19: also in some phrases, referred to as verba ipsissima from the heathen age—erat vinum líft Ingimundar, Fs. 39; erat sjá draumr minni, Ld. 128. Thorodd employs it twice or thrice: því at ek sékk-a þess meiri þörf, because í do not see any more reason for this, Skálda 167; kannka ek til þess meiri ráð en lítil, I do not know, id.; mona ( will not) mín móna ( my mammy) við mik göra verst hjóna, 163. In sacred translations of the 12th century it occurs now and then. In the Homilies and Dialogues of Gregory the Great: monatþu í því flóði verða, thou shalt not; esa þat undarligt þótt, it is not to be wondered at; hann máttia sofna, he could not sleep; moncaþ ek banna, I shall not mind, Greg. 51, 53; vasal kall heyrt á strætum, was not, Post. 645. 84; nú mona fríðir menn hér koma, Niðrst. 623. 7. In later writers as an archaism; a few times in the Al. (MS. A. M. 519), 3, 5, 6, 44, 108; and about as many times in the MS. Eirspennill (A. M. 47, fol.) [Etymon uncertain; that at is the right form may be inferred from the assimilation in at-tu, and the anastrophe in t, though the reason for the frequent dropping of the t is still unexplained. The coincidence with the Scottish dinna, canna is quite accidental.]
