On ἔλλοψ s. v. - C. With lengthened grade s. λώπη `pod, coat' (Od., Theoc., A. R.), λῶπος m. `id.' (Alc. [?], Hippon., Anacr., Herod.); as 1. member in λωπο-δύ-της m. "who travels in (foreign) clothes", `thief of clothes' with λωποδυτ-έω etc. (Att.); suffixless form λώψ χλαμύς H.; cf. Schwyzer 515, Chantraine Form. 424. Dimin. λώπιον (Arist., inscr.); denomin. ἀπο-, περι-λωπίζω `undress, put off' (S., Hyp.).Origin: PG [a word of Pre-Greek origin]Etymology: The primary thematic present λέπω, from which all verbal forms were derived ( λέλαμμαι, - λαπῆναι innovations after ἔστραμμαι, στραφῆναι etc.), has no direct agreements outside Greek. There are a few nominal formations, which resemble the Greek forms: Lith. lãpas `leaf', Alb. lapë `rag, leaf, peritoneum' (: λοπός), Lith. lõpas `rag, piece' (: λῶπος; also OE lōf m. `band of the forehead'??, Holthausen IF 32, 340), with Russ. lápotь `shoe of bark' (lapotók `rag, piece'); quite doubtful OE leber, læfer f. `rush, cane, metal plate' (: λέπρα?; Holthausen IF 48, 255). With λέπος one compared also Lat. s-stem lepōs `fine-ness, delicacy', and the Slav. extension in Russ. lépest `rag, piece, leaf of a flower'. Given the productivity of these formations and the varying meanings we may have parallel creations. - Further, partly very doubtful and debated forms in WP. 2, 429f., Pok. 678, W.-Hofmann s. lepidus, Fraenkel Lit. et. Wb. s. lãpas, lõpas, also lèpti `be coddled', Vasmer Russ. et. Wb. s. lépest, lápotь, lópotõk; with rich lit. - We can safely conclude that the verb is not IE: there is hardly a formal agreement, nor does the meaning agree well. So the verb will be Pre-Greek. Note the forms λεπάγιον, λεπακινός, λέπασμα, λέπυρον, λεπύχανον, λέπρα, λώψ, λῶπος etc. The verb may be compared with ὀλόπτω and ὀλούφω, which would also point to a non-IE word.Page in Frisk: 2,105-107Greek-English etymological dictionary (Ελληνικά-Αγγλικά ετυμολογική λεξικό) > λέπω

Grammatical information: adv.Meaning: `fat, gleaming'.Other forms: in Hom. only elided ( ἀλείψασθαι) λίπ' ἐλαίῳ etc., unelided λίπα in Hp., Th. (cf. Leumann Hom. Wörter 309f.),Derivatives: Here, (as direct derivv., with ρ: ν-variation?): λιπαρός `fat, (of oil or unguent) gleaming, fruitful' (Il.) with λιπαρία `fatness' (Dsc.) and λιπαίνω `make fat, oil, anoint' (IA.) with λίπανσις `anointing' (medic.), λιπαντικός `good for anointing' (sch.), λιπασμός `anointing' (Dsc.), λίπασμα `fat substance' (Hp., hell.). More verbs are: λιπάω `gleaming from unguents' (τ 72, hell.), `anoint' (Nic.), λιπάζω trans. `id.' (Nic.). Innovated σ-stm (Schwyzer 512): λίπος n. `fat' (A., S., Arist.) with λιπώδης `fatty, oily' (Thphr.); also λίπας n. `id.' (Aret.; after κρέας?).Origin: XX [etym. unknown]Etymology: A formal agreement to λίπ-α from a root-noun (cf. Schwyzer 622) gives Skt. rip- f. "smearing on", `defilement, deceit'. Closely agreeing are λιπαρός and Skt. rip-rá- n. `discord, dirt', further λίπος and Skt. répas- n.' stain, dirt' (would be Gr. *λεῖπος); in the last case however we have independent parallel formations. Doubtful is Alb. laparós `defile' (s. Fraenkel Wb.; s. below). - (Not here ἀλείφω `anoint', with vowel prothesis; see s. v.). The other languages show diff. formations: nasal present Skt. li-m-p-áti `smear' (aor. 3. pl. midd. a-lip-s-ata;), Lith. li-m-p-ù, inf. lìp-ti `stick, be sticky'; yot-present in OCS pri-lьp-lǫ, inf. pri-lьp-ěti `stick'. With very diff. meaning Germ., e.g. OHG bi-līban `stay, remain'. Quite doubtful for its meaning Hitt. lip(p)ānzi (3. pl. pres.), `oppress (?)'. - More forms in Bq, WP. 2, 403f., Pok. 670f., W.-Hofmann s. lippus, Fraenkel Wb. s. lìpti 2. Vgl. λίπτω.

127 μασάομαι
Grammatical information: v.Meaning: `chew, bite' (Hp., com., Arist.).Other forms: aor. μασήσασθαι.Derivatives: ( δια-) μάσημα `bite' (Hp., Antiph., Thphr.), ( δια-)μάσησις `chewing' (Thphr., Dsc.), μασητήρ "chewer", `muscle of the lower jaw' (Hp.), παρα-μασήτης "help-chewer", ' παράσιτος, parasite' (midd. Com.). Besides παραμασύντης `id.' (midd. Com.; μασύντης H.), Μασυντίας PN (Ar.) from *μασύνω; cf. μοσσύνειν μασᾶσθαι βραδέως H. and Fraenkel Nom. ag. 2, 61 (Chantr. corrects to μασ-, which may be right or wrong; the variation might point to Pre-Greek.Origin: PG [a word of Pre-Greek origin]Etymology: The meaning of μασάομαι suggests an iterative -intensive deverbativ, from a primary yot-present (cf. φῡράω to φύ̄ρω from *φῠρ-ι̯ω, Schwyzer 719). Besides *μασύνω as innovation (after ἁπαλύνω etc.; diff. interpretation s. ματτύη). From μάθυιαι γνάθοι H. (cf. αἴθυια: αἴθω) we get a stem μαθ-, which got a το-suffix in μάσταξ (\< μαθ-τ-); s. v. -- A remarkable formal similarity is shown by synonymous Lat. mandō, - ere `chew', which can represent a nasalized IE * madh- (= μαθ-), cf. Leumann Lat. Gr. 313). If Germ., e.g. OHG mindel, OWNo. mēl n. `bit of the bridle' (IE * ment-), Goth. munÞs 'mouth' (IE *mn̥t-) would belong here, μαθ- could be the zero grade of it (with aspiration of the tenuis); but they must rather be connected with Welsh mant `jaw, mouth', Lat. mentum `jaw'. Doubtful is the rendering of Skt. math- (mostly `beat up, stir, rub') with `tear up, feed on' in AV 5, 8, 4 etc. (Specht Ursprung 254 after Oertel), s. Narten IIJ 4, 121 f., where a math-'tear away, rob' is assumed. An IE * menth- `chew, bit, mouth' (WP. 2, 270, Pok. 732f.), then, is not at all ascertained. -- Quite diff. on μασάομαι Sommer IF 11. 266 (from IE *mad-si̯ā- to Goth. mats `food' etc.; morphologically doubtful).

128 μύσσομαι
Grammatical information: v.Meaning: `blow the nose' (Hp., Epic. in Arch. Pap. 7, 5); also act. `wipe off' (Pl., E., Arr., AP), metaph. `draw by the nose, deceive' (Men., H.);Other forms: fut. μύξομαιCompounds: usu. with ἀπο- `id.' (Ar., X., Arist.), also with προ- `deceive somebody for money' (Hp.), `snuff a lamp' (Ar. V. 249 v. l. for πρόβυσον), extort money'.Derivatives: 1. μυκτήρ, - ῆρος m., often in plur., "the snuffer", `nostril' (Ion., com., X.), also (as backformation from μυκτηρίζω) `mocker' (Timo), `insult' (Plu., Luc.); with μυκτηρίζω ( ἀπο- μύσσομαι H.) `bleed at the nose' (Hp.), `be mocked' (Lys.Fr. 323 S., LXX) with - ηρισμός `mockery', - ηρίσματα pl. H. as explanation of ἀποσκώμματα, - ηριστής m. `mocker' (Ath.). -- 2. μύξα, - ης f. `slime, mucus', also `nostril, snout, spout of a lamp' (Hes. Sc. 267, Ion., Arist.; on the formation below) with several derivv.: dimin. μυξάριον (M. Ant.); μυξώδης `slimy, full of slime' (Hp., Arist., Thphr.); μυξ-ωτῆρες pl. (Hdt., Hp.), - ητῆρες (Gal.) `nostril' (cf. τροπωτήρ, κωπητήρ a.o., Chantraine Form. 327 f.); μυξ-άζω, - άω `be slimy' (sch.); fishnames: μύξων, - ωνος m. `kind of mullet' (Arist.), prob. directly from μύξα; as backformation ( κόκκων: κόκκος a.o.; cf. Chantraine 161) μύξος `id.' (Ath.); μυξῖνος `id.' (Hikes. ap. Ath.; like κορακῖνος a.o.). -- 3. ἀπόμυξ-ις `snuffling' (Plu.), - ία `mucus' (AB, H.). -- On μύκης `mushroom' s. v.Origin: IE [Indo-European] [744] * mug-, muk- `slime, glide'?; PGX [probably a word of Pre-Greek origin]Etymology: Beside the primary yot-present *μυκ-ι̯ομαι in μύσσομαι stands in Latin a nasal-present ē-mu-n-g-ō `wipe the nose'; cf. σχίζω (:*σχιδ-ι̯ω) beside scindō. Independent parallel formations are ἀπόμυξ-ις and ēmunc-ti-ō. -- Of the derivations only μύξα needs explanation: like κνίση, κνῖσα can go back on the s-stem supposed in Lat. nīdor, μύξα can go back on Lat. mūcor m. `mould, moistness', if from * mūcos (Solmsen Wortforsch. 238 f.). It is unnecessary to assume an adj. *μυξός `slimy' (*μυκ-σ-ός) with Solmsen (and Brugmann Grundr.2 2: 1, 541), as μύξων, μύξος can be explained from μύξα; s. above. For the rare forms with anl. σμ-(σμύσσεται and σμυκτήρ H., σμύξων Arist. beside μύξων) Celtic has a parallel in Gael. smùc, smug `mucus'; from Celt. may still be mentioned the primary to-derivation in MIr. mocht `weak' (\< * muk-to-). The Germ. and Balto-Slav. words adduced, e.g. OWNo. mjūkr, Latv. mukls `palūdōsus' give nothing new for Greek. Further, partly quite doubtful combinations in WP. 2, 253, Pok. 744, W.-Hofmann s. ēmungō. -- On μύσκος μίασμα H. s. μύσος; the rarely attested ἀμυσχρός, ἀμυχρός etc. (s.v.) cannot be certainly interpreted. Cf. 2. μύζω and μυχθίζω. - The forms μύξα, μύξος, μύξων, and the forms with σ-, seem doubtful and may be Pre-Greek; cf. Fur. 393.Page in Frisk: 2,Greek-English etymological dictionary (Ελληνικά-Αγγλικά ετυμολογική λεξικό) > μύσσομαι
