vьdovà Grammatical information: f. ā Accent paradigm: b Proto-Slavic meaning: `widow'Old Church Slavic:Russian:vdová `widow' [f ā], vdovú [Accs]Czech:Slovak:Polish:Serbo-Croatian:udòvica `widow' [f jā];Čak. udovȉca (Vrgada, Orbanići) `widow' [f jā]Slovene:vdọ̑va `widow' [f ā]Bulgarian:vdovíca `widow' [f jā]Proto-Balto-Slavic reconstruction: u̯ideuHOld Prussian:widdewū `widow'Indo-European reconstruction: h₁uidʰ-(e)uh₂-Comments: According to Kortlandt (1997: 161), this etymon continues a hysterodynamic uh₂-stem. In his view, the e-grade of the Asg. must have spread to the Nsg at an early stage of Balto-Slavic, i.e. before the development *eu > *ou before a vowel because otherwise the medial front vowel of OPr. widdewū is hard to explain.Other cognates:Skt. vidhávā- (RV+) `widow' [f];Notes: -
31 λύγδος
Grammatical information: f.Meaning: `(white) marble' (D. S., Peripl. M. Rubr., AP).Derivatives: λύγδ-ινος `of marble, marble-white' (Babr., Philostr., AP, Cyrene), - ίνεος `id.' (AP). λύγδη τὸ δένδρον ἡ λεύκη H.Origin: PG [a word of Pre-Greek origin]X [probably]Etymology: Ending as in μόλυβδος (but s.v.!), κίβδος a. o. and like these without etymology. Connection with λευκός a. rel. (Bq a. o.) is morphologically hard to explain. - δος, sound-words like κέλαδος (s. v.) excepted, is not a productive suffix. - Fur. 307 connect σ λογάδες which must remain uncertain. Still the word is prob. Pre-Greek. Connetion with λευκός is hardly probable.Page in Frisk: 2,140-141Greek-English etymological dictionary (Ελληνικά-Αγγλικά ετυμολογική λεξικό) > λύγδος

Comp. μιαι-φόνος `committing a defiling murther, stained by murther', adjunct of Ares (in E und Φ, B., Hdt., E.; μιη-φόνος Archil.) with - έω (Att.), - ία (D., D. S., Plu.). -- Isolated are w. χ-suffix (Schwyzer 498, Chantraine Form. 403f.) the expressive μίαχος μίασμα, μιαχρόν \<οὑ?\> καθαρόν H.Derivatives: μίασμα n. `defilement, abomination, horrible stain' (IA; on the formation etc. Porzig Satzinhalte 241), μιασμός m. `defilement' (LXX, Plu.), μίανσις f. `id.' (LXX); μιάστωρ m. `defiler, avenging ghost, avenger' (trag., late prose; - σ- as in μίασμα, cf. also ἀλάστωρ and Schwyzer 531; unnecessary objections in Fraenkel Nom. ag. 2, 24); μιάντης m. `id.' (EM), ἀ-μίαν-τος `unstained' (Thgn., Pi.), w. des. of a stone = asbestos (Arist., Plin., Dsc.). -- Beside μιαρός (Il.), μιερός (Call.) `defiled, soilt, polluted, esp. through bloodcrime' with μιαρ-ία (Att.), - ότης (An. Ox.).Etymology: "With the r-n-change - αίνω: - αρός, μιαίνω: μιαρός ( ἰαίνω: ἱερός?; s. Fraenkel Glotta 20, 92 f. with Debrunner IF 21, 32 a. 43) follow a wellknown scheme" says Frisk; a certain non-Greek agreement is however not known; but r\/n after a is hard to explain as IE. Improbable or quite uncertain hypotheses: to Skt. mū́tram n. `urine', Av. mūÞra- n. `impureness' (Fick GGA 1881, 1427; agreeing Bechtel Lex. 227; in vowel deviating); to Lith. máiva `marsh-bottom', miẽlės `yeast', Germ., e.g. OHG meil(a) `stain, blemish' (Persson Beitr. 1, 221; the last with Grienberger and Wiedemann), to which after H. Petersson Heteroklisie 180 ff. (w. further uncertain combinations) also Arm. mic, gen. mc-i `dirt, mud' (IE *miǵ-). -- The 1. member in μιαι-φόνος is prob. as in ταλαί-πωρος to be taken as verbal (" ὁ μιαίνων φόνῳ"); beside it μιη-φόνος like Άλθη- beside Άλθαι-μένης [but this remains unexplained]; a long syllable was metr. needed. Details in Schwyzer 448. A subst. *μι(Ϝ)ᾱ, esp. with a supp. loc. μιαι- (Persson Stud. 155, Bechtel Lex. s.v. a. Dial. 3, 118f.) is not credible. -- WP. 2, 243 w. more forms, Pok. 697, Fraenkel Wb. s. máiva. - Blanc, BSL 96(2001)153-179 tries to connect Goth. bi-smeitan `besmear, strike', bur there is no certain evidence for s- in Greek, which would have unlengthened * smei-; the development of the meaning in Germanic is difficult. If there is no etymology, the word will rather be Pre-Greek. Did it have *mya(n)-, with palatal *m-? We know that an \/a\/ could be pronounced as [e] after a palatalized consonant; so here we may have the origin of the ε\/α- alternation in Greek.Page in Frisk: 2,235-236Greek-English etymological dictionary (Ελληνικά-Αγγλικά ετυμολογική λεξικό) > μιαίνω

33 μόχθος
Grammatical information: m.Meaning: `exertion, difficulty, distress, misery' (Hes. Sc., Pi., trag., mostly poet.).Compounds: often as 2. member, e.g. πολύ-μοχθος `with much exertion' (trag., Arist.), also as building-technical expression in πρό-μοχθοι τὰ προβεβλημένα τῶν τοίχων (H., also Delos IIa).Derivatives: 1. μοχθ-ηρός `laborious, miserable, worthless, bad' with μοχθηρ-ία `bad condition' (IA.), - όομαι `be laborious' (Aq.). 2. μοχθ-ήεις (Nic.), - ώδης (Vett.

(poet. since Β 273; metr. variant of 1., s. Chantraine Gramm. hom. 1. 95, Shipp Studies 95); 3. μοχθ-όω `tire' (Aq.).Origin: PG [a word of Pre-Greek origin]Etymology: To μόγος, μογέω (s.v.) with expressive enlarging θ, cf. ἄχθος, ὄχθος, βρόχθος a.o. (Schwyzer 510f., Chantraine Form. 366f.)? Basic forms like *μόγσ-θος (Schulze KZ 28, 270 n.l = Kl. Schr. 437 n. 1 [p. 438]) or *μόγσ-τος are hard to explain. -- To be rejected Pisani Ist.

34 ναί
Grammatical information: pcleOther forms: also νή (esp. Att.), νεί (Boeot., also Arc.).Etymology: With νή agrees Lat. nē `really'; ναί may have in Toch. B nai `however' a formal agreement. With νή: νεί: ναί cf. ἠ: εἰ: αἰ `if'; analog. δαί beside δή. The word is usually connected with the demonstrative IE *( e-)no- `he there', s. ἐκεῖνος and W.-Hofmann s. enim m., also Schwyzer-Debrunner 570 w. n. 2 a. 3.The vocalism - αι is hard to explain. -- Diff.

35 πλάζω
πλάζω, - ομαιGrammatical information: v.Meaning: `to make devious, to repel, to dissuade from the right path, to bewilder', midd.-pass. `to become devious, to go astray, to wander about' (Il.).Derivatives: πλαγκτός `devious, mad, bewildered' (ep. poet. φ 363; Ammann Μνήμης χάριν 1, 21), Πλαγκταί f. pl. (sc. πέτραι) "the shock-rocks" (μ 61 etc.; on the meaning which is not quite clear P.-W. 20, 2193ff.); πλαγκτο-σύνη f. `wandering about' (ο 343, Nonn.; Wyss 26); πλαγκ-τύς, - ύος f. `id.' (Call.); - τήρ m. surn. of Dionysos (AP), `confuser' ('wanderer'?), - τειρα ἀτραπιτός `zodiac' (Hymn. Is.). Here also πλάγγος; s. v.Origin: IE [Indo-European]X [probably]Etymology: With πλάγξαι, πλαγκτός agree formally Lat. plānxi, plānctus (vowellength sec.); to this πλάζω as yot-present from *πλάγγ-ι̯ω against plang-ō. Further, uncertain comparisons from Alb., Celt. and Germ., for Greek without interest, in W.-Hofmann s. v. So orig. meaning `beat away', which in some places, e.g. Φ 269, and in Πλαγκταί still can be vaguely seen. The most dominant meaning `drive off etc.' has formed prob. in the very usual expressions with ἀπό and other separative expressions. -- The inner nasalisation excepted, which is to be explained either as generalized presentinfix or as onomatop. rootelement (cf. κλάζω, κλάγξαι and Schwyzer 692), agrees to this the aorist πλαγ-ῆναι; s. πλήσσω with further connections and lit., but the short α is hard to explain: secondary from * plang-?Page in Frisk: 2,548-549Greek-English etymological dictionary (Ελληνικά-Αγγλικά ετυμολογική λεξικό) > πλάζω

In a series of parables (Simplicius, In Epict. p. 111, 13–34 connects by means of π. two stories that are along the same lines as the Good Samaritan and the Pharisee and the publican; Kephal. I 76, 34; 77, 8 [a series of proverbs]) Lk 13:20 (cp. vs. 18). Also a favorite expr. when a speaker takes up a formula previously used and continues: πάλιν ἠκούσατε Mt 5:33 (cp. vs. 27). πάλιν ὁμοία ἐστὶν ἡ βασιλεία 13:45 (cp. vs. 44), 47.—18:19 (cp. vs. 18); 19:24 (cp. vs. 23).④ marker of contrast or an alternative aspect, on the other hand, in turn (Pla., Gorg. 482d; Theocr. 12, 14; Polyb. 10, 9, 1; Diod S 4, 46, 3; Chariton 7, 6, 9; Wsd 13:8; 16:23; 2 Macc 15:39; TestJob 26:4; GrBar 4:15; Just., D. 41, 4 al.) πάλιν γέγραπται on the other hand, it is written Mt 4:7. πάλ. Ἀνδρέας Andrew in turn J 12:22 v.l.—1 Cor 12:21. τοῦτο λογιζέσθω πάλ. ἐφʼ ἐαυτοῦ let him remind himself, on the other hand 2 Cor 10:7; on the other hand Lk 6:43; 1J 2:8.⑤ A special difficulty is presented by Mk 15:13, where the first outcry of the crowd is reported w. the words οἱ δὲ πάλιν ἔκραξεν. Is it simply a connective (so δὲ πάλιν Ps.-Callisth. 2, 21, 22; POxy 1676, 20 ἀλλὰ καὶ λυποῦμαι πάλιν ὅτι ἐκτός μου εἶ)? Is it because a different source is here used? Or is the meaning they shouted back? (so Goodsp.); s. 1a. Or is this really a second outcry, and is the first one hidden behind vs. 8 or 11? Acc. to the parallel Mt 27:21f, which actually mentions several outcries, one after the other, the first one may have been: τὸν Βαραββᾶν. The πάλιν of J 18:40 is also hard to explain (Bultmann 502; 509, 3). Could there be a connection here betw. Mk and J?—Another possibility would be to classify Mk 15:13 and J 18:40 under 4 above, with the meaning in turn (Aristoph., Acharn. 342 et al.; s. L-S-J-M). On a poss. Aram. background s. JHudson, ET 53, ’41/42, 267f; Mlt-H. 446; Mlt-Turner 229; MBlack, An Aramaic Approach3, ’67, 112f.—B. 989. DELG. M-M. -

[Интент]Stranded capacity
Stranded capacity is capacity that cannot be utilized by IT loads due to the design or configuration of the system. The presence of stranded capacity indicates an imbalance between two or more of the following capacities:A specific IT device requires sufficient capacity of all of the five above elements. Yet these elements are almost never available in an exact balance of capacity to match a specific IT load. Invariably, there are locations with rack space but without available cooling, or spaces with available power but with no available rack space. Capacity of one type that cannot be used because one of the other four capacities listed above has been used to its maximum capacity is called stranded capacity. Stranded capacity is undesirable and can seriously limit the performance of a data center. Unfortunately, most data centers have significant stranded capacity issues, including the following common examples:
- An air conditioner has sufficient capacity but inadequate air distribution to the IT load
- A PDU has sufficient capacity but no available breaker positions
- Floor space is available but there is no remaining power
- Air conditioners are in the wrong location
- Some PDUs are overloaded while others are lightly loaded
- Some areas are overheated while others are cold
Depending on the situation and the architecture of the power and cooling system, it might be impossible to utilize stranded capacity or it might be that only minor investments are needed to free stranded capacity so that it can be effectively used. By definition, utilizing stranded capacity comes at a cost. It is often necessary to take down part of the installation or install new power and cooling components.
Stranded capacity is a very frustrating capacity management problem for data center operators because it is very hard to explain to users or management that a data center with 1 MW of installed power and cooling capacity can’t cool the new blade servers when it is only operating at 200 kW of total load.
An effective capacity management system not only identifies and highlights stranded capacity, but also helps customers avoid creating it in the first place.
