  • 68 μύω

    Grammatical information: v.
    Meaning: `close, be shut', esp. of the eyes, `shut the eyes, abate', also (esp. with κατα-) trans. `shut' ( ὀφθαλμούς etc.) (S. Fr. 774, Call., Nic.).
    Other forms: aor. μῠ́σαι (Ω 637; cf. below), late. μῦσαι (AP), fut. μῠ́σ-ω (Lyc. 988), perf. μέμῡκα (Ω 420).
    Compounds: Also with prefix, esp. ἐπι-, κατα-, συν-. As 1. element in μύ-ωψ, them. elarged - ωπός "with closing eyes", i.e. `near-sighted' (cf. Sommer Nominalkomp. 9 n. 2).
    Derivatives: 1. Adv. in - τί with α priv.: ἀ-μυσ-τί `without closing (the lips), at one draught' (Hp., Pherecr.), from where ἄμυστις f. `drinking at one draught' (Anacr., Epich., E.) with ἀμυστίζω `empty the cup at one draught' (E., Plu.); cf. Schwyzer 623 w. n. 10. -- 2. ( σύμ-, κατά-)μύσις f. `the closing, go together' (Hp., Thphr., Plu.). -- 3. μύστης m. prob. prop. "who shuts his eyes", `the initiated (in the Eleusinian mysteries)' (Heraclit., Ar., E.) in opposition to the ἐπόπτης "the observer", wo reached the highest degree; f. μύστις name of comedies of Antiph. and Philem., LXX; with μυστικός `belonging to the mystai (mysteries), secret' (IA.; Chantraine Études 116, 123, 125), μυστήριον, usu. pl. - ια `secret service' (IA.) with μυστηρ-ιώδης, - ικός etc.; cf. Fraenkel Nom. ag. 1, 222 f. -- Beside μύω stands μυέω, mostly pass. μυέομαι, aor. μυηθῆναι, μυῆσαι, fut. μυηθήσομαι, perf. μεμύημαι, rarely with ἐν-, συν-, προ-, prob. prop. "have one's eyes closed" (cf. μύστης), `be initiated', with secondarily the act. `initiate' (IA.). From where μύησις f. `initiation' (hell., inscr., Ph.). -- On itself stands μυάω `shut the lips (the eyes?)' (only Ar. Lys. 126 τί μοι μυᾱ̃τε; by H. explained with σκαρδαμύττετε), also μοιμυάω (H., Phot.); constucted from the Ar.-place?; but cf. μοιμύλλω s. μύλλω.
    Origin: XX [etym. unknown] IE LIV 401, * meus- `shut oneself'
    Etymology: The perfect μέμῡκα agrees with the also intransitive ἕστηκα, βέβηκα etc.; the shortvowel aor. μῠ́σαι (for which secondarily μῦσαι to μύω) may like φθάσαι a.o. have been transformed from a root aor. (μῠ́σαν Ω 637 for *μῠ́-ν?); from there the fut. μῠ́σ-ω. Then the σ in μύσ-της would be unoriginal. If old, μέμῡκα would have to be analogical. The present μύω can be explained both from μυ- and from μυσ- (*μύσ-ι̯ω Schulze Q. 334 n. 3 as a question); cf. Schwyzer 686 and 721. -- Comparisons outside Greek are hardly of help: the isolated Latv. musinât `whisper, murmur' (WP. 2, 310, Pok. 752) does no say much. (Does μύω go back on sound-imitating μῦ?; s. also μύζω, μῦθος, μυκάομαι. -- The innovation μυέομαι with μυέω may have arisen from nonpres., with η enlarged forms like μυηθῆναι, μεμύημαι; cf. Schwyzer 721. On μυάω cf. σιγάω, βοάω a.o. -- On the fate of μυστικός, μυστήριον in the Westeurop. languages (Fr. mystique, mystère etc.) and in Newgr. s. Chantraine Studii clasice 2, 69 f. - Fur. 378 compares ἀμύω and considers it as perh. Pre-Greek. Janda connects Pal. muš- `satiate oneself', IE * meus- `shut oneself' (LIV 401), Sprache 40, 1998 [2001], 21.

  • 73 Viscose Staple Fibre In Colours

    During the year 1938 supplies became available of viscose staple fibre in colours. For the wool trade there are three colours in 4.5 filament denier and staple length of 2-in. for woollen spinning, and 4-in. to 6-in. for worsted spinning. For cotton spinning five colours are available in 1.5 filament denier and 17/16-in. staple. These colours have the highest degree of fastness and have only a small surcharge for the colour. The producers state that this coloured staple fibre processes with equal facility with normal undyed staple fibre in the same range of counts, so that the difficulties normally met with in the processing of dyed fibres do not apply to these productions.
