1 *πέμφιξ
*πέμφιξ, -ῑγοςGrammatical information: f.Meaning: poet. word of unstable meaning, which is based partly on the artificialities of hell. poets (s. Wenkebach Phil. 86, 300ff.): `bubble of air or water' (secondarily of the soul, s. Nehring IF 40, 100ff.), `blister on the skin, drop (of water or blood), drizzle, spraying spark, also said of the sunlight' (Ibyc., trag., hell. poetry).Derivatives: πεμφιγώδης `full of vesications' (Hp.). Besides πεμφίς, only gen. pl. - ίδων (Lyc. 686; v. 1. - ίγων). -- With ο-vowel: πομφός m. `blister on the skin' (Hp.); more often with λ-suffix in πομφρολύζω (- ύσσω?), only aor. 3. pl. πομφόλυξαν `sprang up' ( δάκρυα; Pi.), and πομφόλυξ, -ῠγος f.

The nearest example of πέμφιξ is not recognisable ( μάστιξ and τέττιξ are too far off; Chantraine Form. 397); the hapax πεμφίς after the many words in -ῑ̆δ- (cf. Fraenkel Nom. ag. 2, 201 n. 2; to far-going Specht Ursprung 212 a. 228). The ablauting πομφός was adapted to the o-stems; here with λ-suffix πομφο-λύξαι, - υξ (s. on μορμώ); cf. also φλύζω, οἰνό-φλυξ, φλύκταινα and Persson Beitr. 1, 58 a. 2, 879; similar βομβυλίδας πομφόλυγας H. -- To a group popular and onomatop. expressions for `blow up etc.', which are found esp. in Baltic, e.g. Lith. pam̃p-ti `swell, aufdinsen', pempùs `fatt-bodied', pumpùlis `roundish, thick-bellied thing', with voiced cons., e.g. bum̃balas `knob, bladder', with aspirate Arm. p'amp'ušt `urine-bladder'. -- Cf. βέμβιξ and βόμβος w. lit., also W.-Hofmann s. pampinus. - The words may well be Pre-Greek.Page in Frisk: 2,503Greek-English etymological dictionary (Ελληνικά-Αγγλικά ετυμολογική λεξικό) > *πέμφιξ
