- wireless

Grammatical information: f.

Meaning: `juniper, Juniperus macrocarpa' (Hp.).

Other forms: ἄργετος· ἡ ἄρκευθος, Κρῆτες H.

Derivatives: ἀρκευθίς, - ίδος f. `juniper-berry' (Hp.) with ἀρκευθιδίτης ( οἶνος) `wine from or perfumed with juniper-berries' (Dsc. 5, 46 ed. Sprengel).

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

Etymology: Because the twigs can be twined, Lidén IF 18, 507f. connected ἄρκυς `net' with a θ-suffix (Chantr. Form. 368, who remarks that most of these words are non-IE; Schwyzer 510f.); not very probable. The gloss is certainly cognate; thus R.A. Brown, Pre-Greek speech on Crete 25; on its suffix Fur. 115 n. 3. The word has always been connected with Slavic words, Russ. rakíta etc. `willow, Salix fragilis', *arkūtā. Cf. Beekes, 2000 [125 J. Idg. Graz], 27. It is clearly a substr. word.

Page in Frisk: 1,141

Grammatical information: Adv.

Meaning: `of old, formerly, long ago, bygone, earlier' (Il.; supposition on the development of the meaning in Treu Von Hom. zur Lyrik 127).

Dialectal forms: Myc. parajo \/ palaios\/.

Compounds: Compp., e.g. παλαι-γενής `born long ago, highly aged' (Il.). ἔκ-παλαι `long since, long ago' (hell.).

Derivatives: παλαιός `old, ancient, former' (Il.) with παλαι-ότης f. `age, ancientness' (Att.), - όομαι, - όω `to grow old, to make age, to declare archaic' (Hp., Pl., Arist.); from it παλαί-ωσις f. `aging' (Hp., LXX, Str.), - ώματα pl. `antiquity' (LXX). Comp. forms παλαί-τερος, - τατος (Pi.), also παλαιό-τερος (Ψ 788 [metr. condit.] etc.; Schwyzer 534 w. n.6), - τατος (Pl.).

Origin: IE [Indo-European]X [probably] [640] * kʷel-? `far'

Etymology: Formation (except for the accent) like χαμαί, παραί; so prop. a frozen case-form (dat.?, s. Schwyzer 548 w. lit.). Ablauting τῆλε `far away, far' (s. v.), Boeot πήλυι `id.'; the spatial meaning is evidently the older one. Skt. caramá- `the utmost, the last', which has been connected with it, forms a connection with τέλος `end, goal'; so πάλαι orig. `at the end' (prop. `at the turning point of the career'), `in the distance', `in remote time(s)'. It is unnecessary to assume a separate * kʷel- `far away' (WP. 1, 517, Pok. 640). The Mycenaean form presents difficulties for a labio-velar. -- Cf. πάλιν and πέλομαι. - The - α- has not yet been explained; one might think of *kʷl̥h₂-ei.

Grammatical information: adj.

Meaning: `taper, bendable, slender' (ep. Ψ 583; Treu Von Homer zur Lyrik 171 etc.).

Other forms: βράδινος (Sapph.). Beside it ῥοδανός adjunct of δονακεύς (Σ 576; vv.ll. ῥαδινός, ῥαδαλός); to which ῥοδάν-η f. `weft thread' (Batr. a.o.) with - ίζω (sch. a.o.), - ιστήριον (gloss.); also ῥαδανός, -η, - ίζω (II.), - ᾶται πλανᾶται H., βραδανίζει ῥιπίζει, τινάσσει H.

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

Etymology: Formations like πυκ-ινός, πιθ-ανός a.o. (Chantraine Form. 197f., 201) from unknown basis (*ῥαδεῖν, *ῥάδος, *ῥόδος?). Since Düntzer KZ 13, 6 f. connected with the semant. sightly unclear περι-ρρηδής (s.v.); to this (Lobeck Paralip. 156) also ῥαδές τὸ ἀμφοτέρως ἐγκεκλιμένον H. It may also be connected with ῥάδαμνος (s.v.), with Düntzer (so to be separated from ῥάδιξ?). Further perh. also the Arc. PN Ϝράδων. Unclear ῥαδανῶροι οἱ τῶν λαχάνων κηπουροί H. (rejected by Bechtel Dial. 2,420; to be rejected v. Blumenthal Hesychst. 11). Improbable on ῥαδινός: ῥαδανός Güntert Reimwortbildungen 129. -- From other languages have been adduced: Skt. ávradanta 3. pl. ipf. approx. `loosened, made themselves loose (stagger?)' ἅπ. λεγ. (RV2,24,3); Germ., Goth. wraton ' πορεύεσθαι, διοδεύειν', OWNo. rata `id.'; also Lith. randù, ràsti `find' (s. Fraenkel s.v.); all hypothetic. Details in Bechtel Lex. s. περιρρηδής; older discussion by Curtius 352. -- (Hardly further to u̯er- `turn, bow' WP. 1, 273f., Pok. 1153.) -- The variation *u̯rad-\/u̯rod- shows that it is a Pre-Greek word.

SUBJECT AREA: Steam and internal combustion engines

[br]

[br]

[br]

Branca practised architecture at Loretto. In 1629 he published Le Machine: volume nuovo et di molto artificio, in which he described various mechanisms. One was the application of rolls for working copper, lead or the precious metals gold and silver. The rolls were powered by a form of smokejack with the gases from the fire passing up a long tube forming a chimney which, through gearing, turned the rolls. Another device used a jet of steam from a boiler issuing from a mouthpiece shaped like the head of a person to impinge upon blades around the circumference of a horizontal wheel, connected through triple reduction gearing to drop stamps, for pounding drugs. This was a form of impulse turbine and has been claimed as the first machine worked by steam to do a particular operation since Heron's temple doors.

[br]

Grammatical information: m.

Meaning: `small stones, gravel in a riverbed', also coll. (Th., Str., J.).

Other forms: κόχλαξ, -ᾱκος ( LXX)

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

Etymology: Formation in - ηξ as τράπηξ, νάρθηξ a. o. (cf. Björck Alpha impurum 261f.); The word has been connected (Zupitza Die german. Gutturale 207f.) with the Germ. word for `hail', OHG hagal m., ONord. hagl n. etc. - After Güntert Labyrinth 28 n. 1 κάχληξ together with Lat. calx would have been taken from Aegaean. For foreign origin also Porzig ZII 5, 269f. The vowel-alternation points to a Pre-Greek word.

s, m., pl. ir: [the etymology of this word has been much contested; some—upon the authority of Snorri, hans menn fóru ‘brynjulausir,’ Hkr. i. 11—derive it from ‘berr’ ( bare) and ‘serkr’ [cp. sark, Scot. for shirt]; but this etymology is inadmissible, because ‘serkr’ is a subst. not an adj.: others derive it from ‘berr’ (Germ. bär = ursus), which is greatly to be preferred, for in olden ages athletes and champions used to wear hides of bears, wolves, and reindeer (as skins of lions in the south), hence the names Bjálfi, Bjarnhéðinn, Úlfhéðinn, (héðinn, pellis,)—‘pellibus aut parvis rhenonum tegimentis utuntur,’ Caes.

Gall. vi. 22: even the old poets understood the name so, as may be seen in the poem of Hornklofi (beginning of 10th century), a dialogue between a Valkyrja and a raven, where the Valkyrja says, at berserkja reiðu vil ek þik spyrja, to which the raven replies, Úlfhéðnar heita, they are called Wolfcoats, cp. the Vd. ch. 9; þeir berserkir er Úlfhéðnar vóru kallaðir, þeir höfðu vargstakka ( coats of wild beasts) fyrir brynjur, Fs. 17]:—a ‘bear-sark,’ ‘bear-coat,’ i. e. a wild warrior or champion of the heathen age; twelve berserkers are mentioned as the chief followers of several kings of antiquity, e. g. of the Dan. king Rolf Krake, Edda 82; a Swed. king, Gautr. S. Fas. iii. 36; king Adils, Hrólf. Kr. S. ch. 16 sqq.; Harald Hárfagri, Eg. ch. 9, Grett. ch. 2, Vd. l. c. (Hornklofi, v. above); the twelve sons of Arngrim, Hervar. S. ch. 3–5, Hdl. 22, 23; the two berserkers sent as a present by king Eric at Upsala to earl Hakon of Norway, and by him presented to an Icel. nobleman, Eb. ch. 25. In battle the berserkers were subject to fits of frenzy, called berserks-gangr (furor bersercicus, cp. the phrase, ganga berserksgang), when they howled like wild beasts, foamed at the mouth and gnawed the iron rim of their shields; during these fits they were, according to popular belief, proof against steel and fire, and made great havoc in the ranks of the enemy; but when the fever abated they were weak and tame. A graphical description of the ‘furor bersercicus’ is found in the Sagas, Yngl. S. ch. 6, Hervar. S. l. c., Eg. ch. 27, 67, Grett. ch. 42, Eb. ch. 25, Nj. ch. 104, Kristni S. ch. 2, 8 (Vd. ch. 46); cp. also a passage in the poem of Hornklofi | grenjuðu berserkir, | guðr var þeim á sinnum, | emjaðu Úlfhéðnar | ok ísarn gniiðu—which lines recall to the mind Roman descriptions of the Cimbric war-cry. In the Icel. Jus Eccles. the berserksgangr, as connected with the heathen age, is liable to the lesser outlawry, K. Þ. K. 78; it is mentioned as a sort of possession in Vd. ch. 37, and as healed by a vow to God. In the Dropl. S. Major (in MS.) it is medically described as a disease (v. the whole extract in the essay ‘De furore Bersercico,’ Kristni S. old Ed. in cake); but this Saga is modern, probably of the first part of the 17th century. The description of these champions has a rather mythical character. A somewhat different sort of berserker is also recorded in Norway as existing in gangs of professional bullies, roaming about from house to house, challenging husbandmen to ‘holmgang’ ( duel), extorting ransom (leysa sik af hólmi), and, in case of victory, carrying off wives, sisters, or daughters; but in most cases the damsel is happily rescued by some travelling Icelander, who fights and kills the berserker. The most curious passages are Glúm, ch. 4, 6, Gísl. ch. 1 (cp. Sir Edm. Head’s and Mr. Dasent’s remarks in the prefaces), Grett. ch. 21, 42, Eg. ch. 67, Flóam. S. ch. 15, 17; according to Grett. ch. 21, these banditti were made outlaws by earl Eric, A. D. 1012. It is worth noticing that no berserker is described as a native of Icel.; the historians are anxious to state that those who appeared in Icel. (Nj., Eb., Kr. S. l. c.) were born Norse (or Swedes), and they were looked upon with fear and execration. That men of the heathen age were taken with fits of the ‘furor athleticus’ is recorded in the case of Thorir in the Vd., the old Kveldulf in Eg., and proved by the fact that the law set a penalty upon it. Berserkr now and then occurs as a nickname, Glúm. 378. The author of the Yngl. S. attributes the berserksgangr to Odin and his followers, but this is a sheer misinterpretation, or perhaps the whole passage is a rude paraphrase of Hm. 149 sqq. In the old Hbl. 37 berserkr and giant are used synonymously. The berserkers are the representatives of mere brute force, and it therefore sounds almost blasphemous, when the Norse Barl. S. speaks of Guðs berserkr (a ‘bear-coat’ or champion of God), (Jesus Kristr gleymdi eigi hólmgöngu sins berserks), 54, 197. With the introduction of Christianity this championship disappeared altogether.
