Thus Risch, Mus. Helv. 25 (1968) 205-213, with a suggestion for the formation. Improbable suppositions in Loewenthal WuS 10, 186. - Also Bq. Ambrosini, Anni, AnnPisa142-7, connected οἴφω (s.v.), because the Westwind in popular belief fertilized women; but the semantics is weak. Peters, Unters. 96f., criticizes that * h₃eibh- beside * h₃iebh- is unmotivated. Also *Hi̯- \> ζ- has not been demonstrated. *( H)iebh- is found in Skt. yábhati, Russ. jebú etc. ( ζέφυρος could be derived from *( H)iebh- anyhow.) - Or is it Pre-Greek (with a \> ε after the palat. dy)?Page in Frisk: 1,611Greek-English etymological dictionary (Ελληνικά-Αγγλικά ετυμολογική λεξικό) > ζέφυρος
