Metaph. γρῦπες μέρος τῶν τῆς νεὼς σκευῶν καὶ ἄγκυραι H.

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

Etymology: A connection with OE crumb, OHG krump ` krumm' is not very probable (the nasal difficult). The nasal in γρυμπαίνω could be Pre-Greek prenasalization but may be of Greek origin. The long u is difficult for IE (requires *- uH-). - Güntert Reimwortbildungen 132f. thought that γρύψ was γύψ influenced by γρυπός; which is not convincing. Grimme Glotta 14, 17 assumed a loan from Akkadian ( karūbu `griffin, cherub'; cf. Hebr. k^erūb and Lewy Fremdw. 11f.) through Hittite. From the archaeological perspective origin in Asia Mindor (and the Near East: Elam) is very probable; DNP s.v. Greif; Hemmerdinger Glotta 48 (1970) 51f. (but not toAkk. karūbu); Wild, SBWien 241\/4 (1963) 3-28. It is not certain that γρύψ is related to γρυπός. The adjective makes the impression of a Pre-Greek word ( γρυμπ-) and this will be true of the mythical bird as well (whatever it ultimate origin); note γρυβός, which may well show Pre-Greek alternation. Fur. 175 assumes more variations on the basis of the Latin forms. Note also γρῦνος γρύψ H., which fits in Furnée's system as showing π\/F (236).- Through Lat. gryphus the word came in the WEur. languages (griffin. Greif).

Etymology: From δρυ- and πέπων. Unclear is δρύππιος, said of ἄγρος (IG IX 1,61); also δρύπεπα (AP 6,191), which may be an isolated innovation. Idem δρύππα (AP 6,299); can it be a Latin form?

Etymology: PGr. *Ϝhέλᾱ (*hϜέλα; cf.

OE swelan, NHG schwelen (full grade), Lith. svìlti (zero grade of a disyllabic root: *su̯elH-) `singe (intr.), burn without flame' with many derivatives. The Greek forms present εἱλ- beside ἑλ-, which cannot be explained. From a root *su̯el- a form h₁u̯el- is hardly possible.

The similarity between λέπας and Lat. lapis, - idis m. (f.) `stone' shows a common origin (against this Ernout-Meillet s. v.); the Lat. a-vowel is explained as ablaut (s. W.-Hofmann s. v.

δεισιδαιμονία, ας, ἡ In the ancient Mediterranean world δ. refers to concern about one’s relations to the transcendent realm (e.g. Polyb. 6, 56, 7; Dio Chrys. 44 [61], 9) exhibited especially in time of war; also viewed as a motivating force (Diod S 1, 70, 8; 11, 89, 6; 8; Jos. Ant. 10, 42). Because such concern is ordinarily expressed in observance of specific religious rites or customs, δ. can denote ‘rite’ or ‘ceremony’ (OGI 455, 11).

① When fear of offending divinity expresses itself in extraordinary ways, δ. denotes religious scruple, religiosity (e.g., Jos., Ant. 14, 228; 15, 277; Jos., Bell. 2, 174). To Romans, for whom public order was of primary interest, and to Hellenes, who valued moderation, excessive anxiety could be prejudicial to the interests of the State, and was described through qualified use of the term δ. (Polyb. 12, 24, 5; Plut., Sol. 12, 4 [84], Alex. 75, 1 [706], Mor. 66c, s. his work Περί τῆς δεισιδαιμονίας; Agatharchides in Jos., Ant. 12, 5f ‘ill-timed religious scruples or piety’; idem C. Ap. 1, 208; Herm. Wr. 9, 9; extreme forms of δ. are satirized as ‘superstition’ Theophr., Char. 16, and distinguished from εὐσέβεια Philo, Spec. Leg. 4, 147; s. also Tatian’s contemptuous description: 22, 1). Such negative viewpoint (gener. expressed in the Lat. ‘superstitio’; in ref. to Christians cp. Pliny, Ep. Traj. 10, 96 [97], 9; Suetonius, Nero 16, 2) is reflected Dg 1:1; 4:1 (cp. M. Ant. 6, 30 θεοσεβὴς χωρὶς δεισιδαιμονίας ‘god-fearing without fussy piety’).

② system of cultic belief or practice, religion (OGI 455, 11; Jos., Ant. 14, 228; 19, 290 on Rom. religious tolerance; reciprocity is expected from others: Jews are forbidden by Claudius τὰς τ. ἄλλων ἐθνῶν δεισιδαιμονίας ἐξουθενίζειν=‘to ridicule the religious practices of other nationalities’; cp.

Likewise in 1 Cor 3:12 the way in which the word is used scarcely permits another mng., and hence we must assume (unless it is enough to think of the edifice as adorned w. precious stones [Diod S 3, 47, 6f: the use of gold, silver, and precious stones in the building of palaces in Sabae; Lucian, Imag. 11 ὁ νεὼς λίθοις τ. πολυτελέσιν ἠσκημένος κ. χρυσῷ]) that Paul either had in mind imaginary buildings (Ps.-Callisth. 3, 28, 4: in the city of Helios on the Red Sea there are 12 πύργοι χρυσῷ καὶ σμαράγδῳ ᾠκοδομημένοι• τὸ δὲ τεῖχος ἐκ λίθου Ἰνδικοῦ κτλ.) as Rv 21:18ff; Is 54:11f; Tob 13:17, or simply mentioned the costliest materials, without considering whether they could actually be used in erecting a building (in Phoenix of Colophon [III B.C.] 1, 9: AnthLG I/3³ ’54 Diehl the rich snob thinks of houses ἐγ [=ἐκ] λίθου σμαραγδίτου.

The same OT (Is 8:14f) infl. is felt in Mt 21:44; Lk 20:18 (Daimachus [IV B.C.]: 65 Fgm. 8 Jac. speaks in his work περὶ εὐσεβείας of the fall of a holy stone fr. heaven πεσεῖν τὸν λίθον).—SKottek, Names, Roots and Stones in Jewish Lore: Proceedings XXXII Intern.

CSpicq, RB 58, ’51, 482–84 [difft. idem, Lexique s.v. δίστομο], but the chief objections to such renderings are the absence of references in ancient medical writers to a double-edged surgical instrument and their preference for the diminutive μαχαίριον in connection w. such instruments).
