Grammatical information: f.Meaning: `laurel' (Od.).Other forms: Variants: λάφνη δάφνη. Περγαῖοι H. and δαύχνα (Thess., Cypr.) with Δαυχναῖος (Aetol.); also δαυχμός (Nic., H.; s. δαῦκος).Derivatives: δαφνίς `laurel' (Hp.; cf. κεδρίς and Chantr. Form. 343), δαφνών `laurel wood' (Str.), δαφνῖτις `Kassia of laurek etc.' (Dsc.; Redard Les noms grecs en - της 70f.), - ίτης ( οἶνος, Gp.), surname of Apollon in Syracuse (H., EM). Adject.: δαφνώδης `laurel-like' (E.), δάφνινος `from laurel' (Thphr.), δαφνιακός (AP), δαφνήεις `rich in laurels' (Nonn.), δαφναῖος `belonging to the laurel' (Nonn.), also surname of Apollon (AP, Nonn.), Δαφναία surname of Artemis in Sparta (Paus.), also Δαφνία (Olympia, Str.). - Δάφνις m. PN, Δαφνοῦς ON.Origin: PG [a word of Pre-Greek origin]Etymology: Like the cognate Lat. laurus is δάφνη a Mediterranean word. "Die wechselnden Formen sind teils als Varianten der gebenden Sprache, teils als wechselnde Wiedergabe bei der Entlehnung verständlich." Frisk (which is true of most variants of Pre-Greek words), who continues "Solmsen Wortforschung 118 n. 1 und Bechtel Dial. 1, 205, Gött. Nachr. 1919, 343f. wollen δαύχνα, δαυχμός von δάφνη trennen und zu δαῦκος (s. d.) mit weiterem Anschluß an δαίω `anzünden' ziehen; kaum überzeugend." Several IE etymologies in W.-Hofmann s. laurus. - The word is typical for Pre-Greek, showing several variations. They can be explained by assuming * dakʷ-(n)-, which gave δαφ-ν- or δαυκ\/ χ-(ν\/μ)-; note that there is no *λαυφ-; cf. Beekes, Pre-Greek (B 1). Thus δαφν- and δαυκ\/ χ-ν\/μ- were one word.Page in Frisk: 1,353Greek-English etymological dictionary (Ελληνικά-Αγγλικά ετυμολογική λεξικό) > δάφνη

62 δίκελλᾰ
Grammatical information: f.Meaning: a two-pronged fork (trag., Delos IIIa).Derivatives: δικελλίτης (Luc.).Origin: PG [a word of Pre-Greek origin]Etymology: Technical term without explanation. The connection with μάκελλα, μακέλη (Il.) favours an analysis as δί- and μά-κελλα, which is possible only for δί-κελλα: it would be a ι̯α-derivation from *δί-κελος or the like, "with two tooths"; but κελεΐς, κελεός does not fit, nor does σκάλλω; but a corresponding derivation of μα- (IE * sem-) is impossible. Note that the variation - ελλα\/- ελη is un-Greek = Pre-Greek. - "Die Anknüpfung an δικεῖν (Bechtel Lex., Chantr. Form. 99), wobei von einer λ-Ableitung *δικ-ελος auszugehen wäre, hat in der Bedeutung von δίκελλα (eig. *`Worfel, Schippe'?) keinen genügenden Anhalt." The word is, then, probably Pre-Greek (I assume -alya).Page in Frisk: 1,392-393Greek-English etymological dictionary (Ελληνικά-Αγγλικά ετυμολογική λεξικό) > δίκελλᾰ

Scheller Oxytonierung 41. - δικτυώδης `netlike' (Hp. Ep.), δικτυωτός `forming a net' (LXX); from δικτυόομαι? (LXX). PN Δίκτυς.Origin: PG [a word of Pre-Greek origin]Etymology: From an u-stem ( δίκτυ only EM 275, 27; from the plural δίκτυα, Schwyzer 460f.) of δικεῖν `throw' (s. v.). The Myc. form has -e- as variant of -i-, which points to a Pre-Greek word (see Bader, Type Demiourgos $ 23; Chadwick, Myc. Studies Wingspread, 19-21; cf. on δίσκος); on Pre-Greek u-stems Heubeck, Praegraeca 36; to avoid this conclusion Chantraine, REG 80 (1967)1-5 assumes deiktu- for Mycenaean. So the Myc. form nicely confirms Furnée's conclusion that δικ- is Pre-Greek (s. δίσκος).Page in Frisk: 1,394-395Greek-English etymological dictionary (Ελληνικά-Αγγλικά ετυμολογική λεξικό) > δίκτυον

64 ἔλλοψ
ἔλλοψ, - οποςGrammatical information: m.Meaning: 1. poet. adj. of ἰχθῦς (Hes. Sc. 212), in this function also ἔλλοπος (Emp. 117) and ἐλλός (S. Aj. 1297, Ath. 277d); of κούρα (Theoc. Syrinx 18); 2. poet. for `fish' in general (Lyk.); 3. name of a great, rare and expensive fish, which is compared, and identified with, a sturgeon (Arist.); in this meaning usually written ἔλοψ (Epich., Archestr., Plu.), Lat. (h)elops; 4. name of a snake (Nic. Th. 490).Derivatives: Denom. verb ἐλλοπιεύω `fish' (Theoc. 1, 42); note ἐλλόπιδας acc. pl. (Crat. 408 acc. to H.; - οδες EM 331, 53), acc. to H. a. o. = τοὺς στρουθοὺς η νεοττοὺς ὄφεως; unclear ἀλλοπίης adj. of τράχουρος (Numen. ap. Ath. 7, 326a).Origin: PG [a word of Pre-Greek origin]Etymology: The ancients explained the word either as `dumb' or as `scaly', the first with an impossible etymology. The meaning `scaly' is interpreted as ἔλλοπος \< *ἔν-λοπος, prepositional bahuvrihi of λοπός `scale'; the shortened form ἔλλοψ would be after animal's names in - οψ (metri causa?); a second analogical shortening (cf. αἶθοψ: αἰθός) gave ἐλλός. Remains the single λ in ἔλοψ, Lat. (h)elops; as this notation seems to indicate a special fish, ἔλοψ could be of foreign origin. This would mean a cross of a foreign fish name with an inherited adjective - Cf. Thompson s. v. and Strömberg Fischnamen 30f. - The interchange λ\/λλ is frequent in Pre-Greek (Fur. 387); further we find ο\/α and π\/β: ἀλ(λ)άβης (Str. 17,2,4, Ath. 7, 312b; PTeb.), ἔλαψ (Gp.); interchange - αβ-\/- οπ- is well known. Fur. 107; here also ἀλλοπίης. So we prob. have a pre-Greek word fo a great fish.

65 ἐμύς
ἐμύς, - ύδοςGrammatical information: f.Meaning: `sweet water-tortoise' (Arist.) (in LSJ only in Suppl.)Origin: PG [a word of Pre-Greek origin]X [probably]Etymology: S. Chantraine Formation 126 and 347; origin unknown. Sommer Lautstud. 100 derives it from ἐμέω because the animal, when breathing out below the water-level lets go continuously air-bubbles. But - ud- is not an IE suffix, so prob. a Pre-Greek word; s. Chantr. Form. 348 πηλαμύς "sans doute prèhellénique," χλαμύς "arrangement d'un mot emprunté.") Cf. Beekes Pre-Greek suff. - υδ-. It has apparently escaped researchers that there are two forms; this prob. points to Pre-Greek origin (Fur. 346f.), though I cannot explain the variation ἀ-\/ἐ-. There is no support for the suggestion that πηλαμύς is compounded with it (which would make no difference for the interpretation). - So not to Celtic with Stokes BB 21, 132.Page in Frisk: 1,508Greek-English etymological dictionary (Ελληνικά-Αγγλικά ετυμολογική λεξικό) > ἐμύς

ἐρυσί̄βηGrammatical information: f.Meaning: `rust in plants' (Pl., X., Arist.; ī Orph. L. 600).Derivatives: ἐρυσιβώδης `eaten by rust' (Arist., Thphr.), ἐρυσίβιος surname of Apollon in Rhodos (Str.). Denomin. verbs ἐρυσιβάω, - όομαι `suffer from rust', also factitive - όω (Thphr.). - There is an epithet of Apollo Ερυθῑ́βιος (Str. 13,1,64, v.l. Ε᾽ρεθίβιος; with ἐρεᾳζω), Ε᾽ρεθῑ́μιος, Ε᾽ρεδῑ́μιος (inscr, Rhodes), Ε᾽ρεθυμιάζω (Lyc. inscr.); further ἐρυσῑ́βη epith. of Demeter (Et.

S. below.Origin: PG [a word of Pre-Greek origin]Etymology: Popular word with β-suffix (Chantraine Formation 260ff.). The stem ἐρυσι- also in ἐρυσίπελας (s. v.) and in the plant-name ἐρυσί-σκηπτρον (Thphr., Dsc.); it recalls the verbal 1. members of the type τερψίμβροτος (Schwyzer 443); but they have also been considered as old s-enlargements of the word for `red' (s. ἐρυθρός, ἐρεύθω), seen also in Lat. russus, Lith. raũsvas `red', OCS rusъ `reddish blond', Germ., e. g. OHG rost ` Rost', Khotansac. rrusta `red' a. o.; IE * reudh-s- ( roudh-s-, rudh-s-) to the s-stem in ἔρευθος? - Furnée 214, 255f. rightly saw that this is a Pre-Greek word; note the variations dental (θ, δ)\/s and β\/μ (Furnée 248-263 and 203-221). Also the long ι is typical for Pre-Greek word-formation (Beekes, Pre-Greek suffixes: -ῑβ-, -ῑγ-, -ῑδ-, ῑθ-. -ῑκ-, -ῑν-).

Adj.-abstract ἠλοσύνη (Nic., late. Epic.; s. Pfeiffer Philol. 92, 1ff., 8, A. 14), Aeol. ἀλοσύνα (Theoc. 30, 12), prob. metric. for ἠλεο-, ἀλεο-.Derivatives: Beside it ἤλιθα adv. 1. `very much, exceedingly' (Hom., always ἤλιθα πολλή(ν); A. R.; on the development of the meaning Bq 320 n. 2), 2. `in vain, to no purpose' (Call., A. R.); the formation has in the local and temporal adv. in - θα ( ἔνθα, δηθά, μίνυνθα) and in the numer. adv. διχθά a. o. an incomplete parallel. From here ἠλίθιος (Dor. ἀλ-) `idle, vain, foolish' (Pi., IA; hελιθιον adv. IG 12, 975 [VIa]) with ἠλιθι-ώδης (Philostr.), - ότης (Att.), - όω (A.), - άζω (Ar.). - Here prob. also ἠλέματος (Aeol. Dor. ἀλ-) `idle, foolish' (Sapph., Alk., Theoc.)?Origin: PG [a word of Pre-Greek origin]Etymology: Formation unclear, improbable Bechtel Dial. 1, 44 (haplological for *ἠλεμόματος). - Difficult is the analysis of the verbs ἀλλο-φρονέω `be senseless' (Hom., Hdt.) and ἀλλο-φάσσω `to be delirious' (Hp.). Acc. to Fick, followed by Bechtel Lex. s. ἀλλοφρονέω, ἠλεός and Leumann Hom. Wörter 116 n. 82, the 1. member has an Aeolic variant of ἠλεός, i. e. *ἆλλος \< *ἀ̄λι̯ος (from where the vok. *ἆλλε = ἠλέ Ο 128); cf. ἀλεό-φρων above. Later it was derived from ἄλλος (thus Hdt. 7, 205). As the medical expression ἀλλοφάσσω cannot be Aeolic, it must have been formed after ἀλλοφρονέω or contain the pronom. ἄλλος; s. Leumann Hom. Wörter 309 n. 82. Formed like ἐνεός, κενεός, ἐτεός a. o., ἠλεός recalls ἠλάσκω, ἀλάομαι, but further has no cognate. Not to Dor. *ἀ̄λεά (WP. 1, 88, after Prellwitz BB 20, 303) in Lat. ālea `game with dices'. - The variants ἠλεός, ἀλαιός (H.) point to a noun in - ay-(os), with ay \> ey \> e; Beekes, Pre-Greek, suffixes s.v. 6. αι\/ει. Also the suffix - ιθ- is Pre-Greek (Beekes, Pre-Greek suff.) The form αλλ(ο)- seems derived from *aly(o)- with palatal. -l- which gave λλ; but I do not know what the relation was between ālay- and āly-. Or does it derive from * alyo-, a reduced form of *ālayo-? I have no opinion on ἠλεματος.Page in Frisk: 1,629-630Greek-English etymological dictionary (Ελληνικά-Αγγλικά ετυμολογική λεξικό) > ἠλεός

Grammatical information: m.Meaning: `seat, chair' (Il.).Compounds: As 2. member e. g. in σύν-θακος, - θωκος `who has his chair together with another' (S., E.).Derivatives: Denomin. verbs: 1. θάσσω, ep. θαάσσω, only present stem, `sit' (Il.), \< *θαϜακ-ι̯ω, s. below; ( θοάζω for *θοάσσω) 2. θᾱκέω, θωκέω, also with prefix, e. g. συν-, ἐν-, `sit' (posthom.) with θάκημα `sitting' (S.), ἐνθάκησις `sitting' (S.), ἐνθακη `ambush' (Pompeiopolis; postverbal), θακεῖον `seat' (Attica IVa; cf. ἀρχεῖον, Chantraine Formation 61). 3. θακεύω `go to stool' (Plu., Artem.). - On θοάζω s. v.Origin: PG [a word of Pre-Greek origin]Etymology: From θάβακον θᾶκον η θρόνον H. it appears, that *θᾶκο was contracted from *θά(Ϝ)ακος; θῶκος will come from θώ(Ϝ)ακος, shortened *θό(Ϝ)ακος, which will have given with metr. lengthening θόωκος. One further assumes the zero grade, resp. ō-grade of τί-θη-μι (as in θωμ-ός). This is impossible for *θαϜακ-ος. One explains further, with Schulze Q. 435, *θάϜακος as assimilated from *θόϜακος. This is most improbable. - Lit. dėveti `carry' (of clothes) etc.' (Bezzenberger BB 27, 179) is not connected. - Details on θᾶκος, θῶκος in Björck Alpha impurum 349ff. - The word must be Pre-Greek, as seen by Fur. 342; a suffix - ακ- is frequent in Pre-Greek (Beekes, Pre-Greek, Suffixes); variation *θαϜ\/ θοϜ is normal (there is no need to assume a form *θωϜ); the form θοωκος requires *θοϜ-ᾱκ-ος).Page in Frisk: 1,647-648Greek-English etymological dictionary (Ελληνικά-Αγγλικά ετυμολογική λεξικό) > θᾶκος

Schwyzer 469.Derivatives: θαμβαλέος (Nonn.). Denomin. verbs: 1. θαμβέω, - ῆσαι, also with prefix, e. g. ἐκ-, `be amazed, be frightened' (Il.), hell. also trans. `set in amazement, frighten' (LXX) with θάμβ-ησις, - ημα (Aq.), ἔκθαμβος (Plb.). 2. θαμβαίνω intr. `id..' (Pi.). 3. θαμβεύω trans. `id.' with - ευτής (Aq.).Origin: PG [a word of Pre-Greek origin]Etymology: Beside θάμβος there is the perfekt τέθηπα `am amazed' with the thematic root aorist ταφεῖν ( ταφών, τάφε; Il.); from the last τάφος n. = θάμβος (Od., Ibyk.). To τέθηπα sec. θήπω ἐπιθυμῶ, θαυμάζω; also θώψ. A nasal did not voice a following stop in Greek; wrong Schwyzer 692 and 333. - The group is further isolated. (Wood Mod. langu. notes 21, 227 connected Goth. ipv. afdobn `φιμώθητι, become speechless'. As doubtful is the connection with the Germ. group for `slay', e. g.

Grammatical information: m.Meaning: `clump, curd, esp. of blood' (IA).Derivatives: θρομβίον (Dsc.), θρομβήϊον (Nic.), θρομβώδης `full of clumps' (IA), θρομβόομαι `form θ., congeal' with θρόμβωσις `curdling, thrombosis' (medic.).Origin: PG [a word of Pre-Greek origin]Etymology: With θρόμβος agrees NIcel. drambr m. `knag, knot', IE *dhrómbhos if one assumes deaspiration after nasal in Greek (Schwyzer 333) but this did not occur ( ἀμφι; cf. on θάμβος), Porzig Satzinhalte 256, 316. A direct connection is however "höchst fraglich" (Frisk), as drambr belongs to an expressive Nordic wordgroup (e.g, OWNo. trē-drumbr m. `stump of a tree', dramb n. `resplendent presumption' a. o.). Baltic too has several comparable words, which are however semantically deviant, as Lith. dramblỹs, dremblỹs `fat belly', Latv. dram̃blis `glutton', s. Fraenkel Lit. et. Wb. s. drìbti. - Inside Geek one generally connects θρόμβος with τρέφειν as `make congeal', med. τρέφεσθαι, aor. 2 τραφεῖν `congeal'; θρόμβος then "curdled mass". The verb however in Greek got the special meaning `make thick, feed' and has its proper development (s. v.) - So there is no convincing IE etymology, and the word will rather be of Pre-Greek origin (undecided Fur. 274); note that - μβ- cannot represent - mbh- (Schwyzer is unconvincing, cf. ἀμφί, ὀμφαλός).Page in Frisk: 1,685-686Greek-English etymological dictionary (Ελληνικά-Αγγλικά ετυμολογική λεξικό) > θρόμβος

Earlier as inherited connected with Skt. dhāraka- `container' (cf. on θρᾶνος, θρόνος), but also as LW [loanword] compared with Lat. lōrīca.

S. 6, 523), with the present καπύσσων ἐκπνέων H.; the supposed basis seems preserved in κάπυς πνεῦμα H. (also κάπος ψυχή, πνεῦμα). Uncertain is the gloss, given in the wrong place, καπυκτά πνέοντα H.; connected with καπύσσων?, cf ἀλύω (s.v.) with ἀλύσσω s. The stem with υ- also in καπυρός `dry etc.', s. v.; uncertain is κέκηφε τέθνηκε H., κεκαφηότα (Hom.), s. v.Origin: PG [a word of Pre-Greek origin]Etymology: An original *κϜαπ-νός (see Schwyzer 302; and s. below), but note that Myc. does not have a w, agrees with Lith. kvãpas `breath, smell'; beside it with ē-vowel kvėpiù,kvẽpti `gasp, breathe', Latv. kvêpstu, kvêpt `smoke, smell'; καπνός a. cogn. then seem to go back on IE. ku̯ep-. An old question is whether Lat. vapor `vapour, smoke' with v- for expected qu- is cognate. On the other hand Russ. kópotь `fine soot, dust' etc. presents a u̯-less form, which cannot be explained from Slavic. Finally Germ., e. g. Goth. af- ƕapjan `suffocate, extinguish', af- ƕapnan `extinguish' show a root-final p for f (b). "Man hat somit in den verschiedenen Sprachen mit zahlreichen, nicht unerwarteten Entgleisungen zu rechnen. (Frisk)" - More forms in Pok. 596f.; cf. W.-Hofmann s. vapor, Fraenkel Lit. et. Wb. s. kvẽpti, Vasmer Russ. et. Wb. s. kópotь. S. also Bq. - Schrijver (Laryng. in Latin, 260f.) assumed a laryngeal for Latvian, and posited * kuh₂ep-, a rare type that is perhaps impossible; also it is uncertain that this gave *κϜαπ-. IE origin, then, is improbable. * kap- is unprobelematic for Pre-Greek; an u-stem ( κάπυς) is frequent in Pre-Greek (s. Heubeck, Praegraeca 31-39), as is a suffix n- after consonant (Beekes, Pre-Greek, Suffixes). The Baltic (and Slavic) forms, and Lat. vapor are unclear, and may come form a substr. language.

75 κᾱραβος
κά̄ραβοςGrammatical information: m.Meaning: 1. `a prickly crustacean' (Epich., Ar., Arist.; cf. Thompson Fishes s. v.), metaph. a light canoo (EM); 2. `a horned beetle' (Arist.).Other forms: σκορόβυλος κάνθαρος H.Derivatives: καραβίς `kind of sea-crab' (Gal., Sch.), καράβιον = ἐφόλκιον (H. s. ἐφόλκια, sch.); prob. also καραβαία δίκρουν ξύλον H. (s. Grošelj Razprave 2, 11). - Beside it κηραφίς = καραβίς (Nic. Al. 394) (sec. after the names in - φ(ο)-; and epic language imitating η for α?).Origin: PG [a word of Pre-Greek origin]Etymology: Unknown; cf. Cohen BSL 27 (1927) 100, wo gives several similar Arabic words. Acc. to Bq s. v. - βος un-Greek (Macedonian) for Gr. - φος \< IE. - bho-. Fur. (index s.v.) connects several words; first there is καρβάρεοι κάραβοι; then there is a prenasalized form καράμβιος (Ar. Byz. Epit. 9, 11; v.l. Arist. HA 551b17), and κεράμβυξ s.v. (Nic. Fr. 39, H.) and κεράμβηλον Η. (- ηλο- is well known from Pre-Greek), which cannot be derived from κέρας (as Frisk suggests). He further posits *σκαραβαῖος on the basis of Lat. scarabaeus, which seems unavoidable. The form σκορόβυλος no doubt continues *σκαραβ-υλ-, where the α's turned to - ο- before the - υ- in the following syllable (Fur. 340 discusses the phenomenon, but did not see that it operated here); so here we have evidence for σκαραβ. Then there is γραψαῖος (Diph. Siph. ap. Ath. 3, 106d) = κάραβος, which he assumes to stand for *γαρψαῖος (doubtful, s.v.). Further s. on σκορπίος (which in my view does not belong here). It is clear that we have here a Pre-Greek word with several of its usual variants. So we have * (s)karab-. - From κάραβος Lat. cārabus `crab', `small boat' (with Rom., e. g. Fr. caravelle) and a Slavic word for `ship', e. g. Russ. koráblь; s. Vasmer Russ. et.

76 καρκίνος
Grammatical information: m. (Epich., IA.)Meaning: `crab' (on the meaning Thompson Fishes s. v.), metaph.. `ulcer, pair of pincers, kind of shoe etc.', also name of a constellation (Scherer Gestirnnamen 167f.). -Derivatives: Diminut. καρκίνιον (Arist., Hp.), also `kind of slipper' (Herod.), καρκινάς, - άδος f. (Gal., Ael.); καρκινίας m. name of a precious stone (Plin.; after the colour; as καπνίας a. o.; Chantraine Formation 94); καρκινευτής `crab-catcher' (Artem. 2, 14; after ἁλιευτής, ὀρνιθευτής a. o.); καρκινώδης `crab-like' (Arist., medic.). Denomin. verb καρκινόω `bend, crook one's fingers' (Antiph., Thphr.; cf. Strömberg Theophrastea 65), - όομαι `become cancerous, suffer from cancer' (Hp.) with καρκίνωμα `cancer' (medic.), καρκίνωσις `formation of dangerous growth' (Aët.); καρκίνωθρον (codd. - αθρον, - ηθρον) plant name, `Polygonum aviculare' (Dsc. 4, 4; after Strömberg Pflanzennamen 147 prop. "Krebsmittel" [?]; rather of the crab-like spreading roots).Origin: PG [a word of Pre-Greek origin]Etymology: Clearly connected with Lat. cancer `crab', Skt. karkaṭa- `id.'; the morphological details however are not all clear. As in Lat. cancer from * car-cro-s καρκίνος may also have had a dissimilation of r-sounds with addition of the ινο-suffix (cf. Schwyzer 490); on the formation of Skt. karkaṭa- Wackernagel-Debrunner 2: 2, 157 (etymological doubts in Mayrhofer KEWA s. v.). - From καρκίνος as LW [loanword]. Skt. karki(n)- `the crab in the zodiac' (with karka- `crab' [lex.] as backformation?). - Connection with the adjective for `hard' (s. κάρκαρος, κράτος) seems quite possible. Cf. W.-Hofmann s. cancer. - The Sanskrit word is probably not cognate (Mayrhofer, EWAia 64, Fur. 129). Fur. connects κάρχαι καρκίνοι, καὶ \<κ\> όχλοι. Σικελοί H. [not mentioned in Frisk, DELG], which is evident. This poves Pre-Greek origin. Fur. doubts the correctnes of Lat. cancer \< * karkro-, which cannot be proven. Fur. prefers to connct γάγγραινα, γάγγλιον. - ινο- can be a Pre-Greek suffix (Fur. 129 n. 54; Beekes, Pre-Greek, Suffixes; Fur. also comments on the accentuation). He also adduces (130) the PN Κερκίνος and the river name Κερκινεύς (Thessaly) with *κερκιν-.Page in Frisk: 1,789-790Greek-English etymological dictionary (Ελληνικά-Αγγλικά ετυμολογική λεξικό) > καρκίνος

78 κάστανα
Grammatical information: n. pl.,Meaning: `sweet chestnuts' (Mnesith. ap. Ath. 2, 54b, Gal. Dsc. as v. l.)Compounds: As 2. member in βαλανο-κάστανον = βάλανος καστανικός (thus Gal.) and βολβο-κάστανον `earth-nut' (Alex. Trall.).Derivatives: καστάναια, - εια pl. = κάστανα (Att. inscr.), καστανέη `chestnut-tree', καστανεών `chestnut-forest' (Gp.), καστανικός (Gal.; s. above), κασταναϊκὸν κάρυον (Thphr.); Καστανὶς αἶα land in Anatolia (Nic. Al. 271; cf. Καστανέα = πόλις Μαγνησίας EM).Origin: PG [a word of Pre-Greek origin]Etymology: Unclear is the η in καστηνοῦ (gen.) `chestnut-tree' (Nic. Al. 269). Anatolian?; cf. except the GN mentioned Arm. kask `chestnut', kaskeni `chestnut-tree'. - From κάστανον, - άνεια Lat. castanea (cf. e. g. picea), from where a. o. OHG chestinna, through new borrowing NHG Kastan(i)e. Further s. W.-Hofmann s. castanea. Fur. 389 has a variation κ \/ τ, but there is no Pre-Greek material for this (the k in Armenian may be due to assimilation).

79 κέσκεον
Grammatical information: n.Origin: PG [a word of Pre-Greek origin]Etymology: Popular reduplicated formation (cf.

(* kēs-rā), perh. also Hitt. kišri- name of something of wool; other forms Pok. 585, Vasmer Russ. et. Wb. s. česátь, W.-Hofmann s. carrō. - A lengthening is ξέω; s. also ξαίνω, ξύω. --A reduplicated *κεσ-κεσ- is an improbable IE structure; I think that - εον derives from Pre-Greek -ay-on (Beekes, Pre-Greek Suffixes sub - αι-\/ ε(ι)-) ωηιχη γανε -ε(ι)ον.

Grammatical information: m.Meaning: `herald, messenger'; also `trumpet-shell` (Il.).Dialectal forms: Myc. karuke \/kārūkes\/.Compounds: As 2. member e. g. in δρομο-κήρυξ `courier' (Aeschin.).Derivatives: 1. Feminine: κηρύκαινα `heraldess' (Ar. Ek. 713; moment. formation, cf. Chantraine Formation 108); 2. Patronymic: Κηρυκίδαι m. `descendants of the Athenian family of the Κήρυκες' (Poll.). 3. Adjectives: κηρύκειος `belonging to the herald' (S.), mostly ntr. κηρύκ(ε)ιον, Dor. κᾱρ-, Ion. κηρυκήϊον `herald's wand' (IA. Dor.; Lat. LW [loanword] cādūceum, - eus; cf. W.-Hofmann s. v.), also as constellation (Scherer Gestirnnamen 200); `auctioneer's fee, tax on auction sales' (hell. inscr. a. pap.); ΚαρυκήϜιος Boeot. name of Apollon (Tanagra, Thebes, VIa; Schwyzer 468); κηρυκικός `regarding the herald, town crier' (Pl.; Chantraine Étud. sur le vocab. gr. 135f.), - ινος `belonging to the herald' (pap., Suid.), - ώδης `like the trumpetshell' (Arist.). - Denomin. verbs: 1. κηρύσσω, - ύττω, κᾱρ- `be herald, broadcast, announce' (Il.) with κήρυγμα `herald's cry, announcement' (IA.), κηρυγμός (sch.), κήρυξις (D. C.) `id.'; 2. κηρυκεύω `function as herald, announce' (Att.) with κηρυκεία, - ηΐη `herald's service' (IA.), κηρύκευμα `announcement' (A. Th. 651), - ευσις `id.' (Suid.).Origin: PG [a word of Pre-Greek origin]Etymology: Generally compared with Skt. kārú- `singer, poet'. Beekes, Languages in Prehist. Europe, 2003, 109-116 showed that Greek does not have a `enlargement' κ (as per Schwyzer 496; his examples are few and doubtful); then, in this way we could not explain the long υ; words with -ῡκ- all have very different meanings and are probably un-IE. Therefore the word is most probably Pre-Greek. - Unexplained was the gloss κορύγης κῆρυξ. Δωριεῖς H. As Pre-Greek only had the vowels α (ι, υ), it will have had *καρυγ- with α \> ο before following υ (note that this α will have been short), so it will be a variant of the same word.Page in Frisk: 1,845Greek-English etymological dictionary (Ελληνικά-Αγγλικά ετυμολογική λεξικό) > κήρυξ
