Grammatical information: n.Meaning: `member', in older lit. only pl. `limbs' (Il.; cf. Wackernagel Syntax 1, 88), `(organized) tune, song, melody' (h. Hom. 19, 16, Thgn., Pi., IA.).Compounds: Compp., e.g. λυσι-μελής `limb-relaxing' (Od.), also with allusion to the μελεδήματα υ 57; s. Risch Eumusia. Festschr. Howald (1947) 87 f.; μελο-ποιός `poet of songs' with - έω, - ία (Att.), μελεσί-πτερος `with singing wings', of a cicada (AP; after the types ἑλκεσί-πεπλος, Schwyzer 443 f.).Derivatives: 1. Diminut.: μελύδριον `small song' (Ar., Theoc.), pl. - ια `poor limbs' (M. Ant.); μελίσκ(ι)ον `id.' (Alcm., Antiph.), s. Chantrame Form. 73 a. 406. 2. Adj. μελικός `lyric' (D. H., Plu.). 3. Adv. μεληδόν `part by part' (Poseidon.); on μελ(ε)ϊστί s. below. -- 4. Verbs: A. μελίζω 1. `analyse', also with δια-, ἐκ-, ἀπο- (Pherecyd. Hist., LXX). 2. `sing, sing of', also with δια-, ἀντι-(Pi., A., Theoc.). Further μελισμός ( δια-) `analysis' (Plu.), `song' (Str.), μέλισμα `song, melody' (Theoc., AP); μελικτάς (Theoc., Mosch.), - ιστής ( Anacreont.) `flute-player'; μελιστί `limb for limb' (J.), older form μελεϊστί (Hom.), prob. from *μελεΐζω, s. Bechtel Lex. s.v., Chantraine Gramm. hom. 1, 250, Risch 310; cf. Schwyzer 440 w. n. 10, 623. -- B. μελεάζω `execute a recitative' (Nicom. Harm.).Origin: XX [etym. unknown]Etymology: On the double meaning `member' and `tune, song' cf. Ir. alt `member' and `poem' (s. also Diehl RhM 89, 88 a. 92 f.). I the sense of `member' μέλος has been replaced by synonymous terms like κῶλον, ἄρθρον. -- To judge by the structure old (cf. ἕδος, ἔπος, γένος a. o.). μέλος does not have an immediate agreement. Possible is however (with Fick. 2, 215) the comparison with a Celtic wor for `knuckle', Bret. mell, Corn. mal, pl. mellow, to which also Welsh cym-mal `articulus, iunctura, commissura', which can go back on PCelt. * melsā and relates then to μέλος as e.g. Skt. vats-á- `calf' to Ϝέτος `year' (s. v.). A velar enlargement has been supposed in Toch. AB mälk- `piece together, join', also in Hitt. malk- `implicate, twist together (?)' (v. Windekens Lex. étym. s.v. and Kronasser Studies Whatmough 121). -- Diff., certainly not better, Szemerényi AmJPh 72, 346ff.: to μολεῖν, μέλλω etc. -- Skt. márman- n. `weak (deathly?) place of the body' and Balt., e.g. Lith. melmuõ `cross(?) of the body, backbone', pl. mélmenys `meat parts surrounding the kidneys', (Fick 1, 109 a. 2, 215), must be rejected; s. Porzig IF 42, 254f. and Fraenkel IF 59, 153ff (Wb. s. mélmenys). Very doubtful Koller, Glotta 43 (1965)24-38.Page in Frisk: 2,203-204Greek-English etymological dictionary (Ελληνικά-Αγγλικά ετυμολογική λεξικό) > μέλος

22 μυελός
Grammatical information: m.Meaning: `marrow' (Il.).Other forms: ep. ῡ metr. lengthening. Late Greek has μυαλός, rejected by Phrynichos.Compounds: Some compp., e.g. ἀ-μύελος `without marrow' (Arist.).Derivatives: μυελ-όεις `full of marrow' (Od.), - ώδης `marrow-like' (Arist.), - ινος `soft as marrow' (AP); μυελόομαι `be changed into marrow, consist of marrow' (LXX).Origin: PG [a word of Pre-Greek origin]Etymology: On the formation cf. πιμελή `fat' with comparable meaning. Prob. to μυών `ball of muscles, knot' (s. μῦς) with n: l-variation as in ἀγκών: ἀγκάλη etc. (Specht Ursprung 84). Both the weak marrow and the weak muscles form an opposition to the hard knuckle. As in Latin by medulla, in Greek the old word for `marrow' in Skt. majján-, OHG mark etc. was replaced by μυελός (Porzig Gliederung 211). -- Wrong older interpretations were rejected by Bq. But the word has no further etymology; Chantraine Fom. 244 is prob. right that the word is Pre-Greek. Fur. 350 adduces μυαλός as evidence, but this may be recent and is unreliable.Page in Frisk: 2,264Greek-English etymological dictionary (Ελληνικά-Αγγλικά ετυμολογική λεξικό) > μυελός

23 σφυρόν
Grammatical information: n.Meaning: `ankle, foot-joint' (Il.), metaph. `the lower part of a mountain' (Pi., Theoc. a.o.).Compounds: Compp., e.g. τανύ-σφυρος `with slender ankles' (h. Cer., Hes.); ἐπι-σφύρ-ια n. pl. `ankle-buckles' (Il.).Derivatives: σφυρόομαι `to tie one's ankle-buckles, to put on one's laced boots' (Carm. Pop. 7) with - ωτήρ, - ῆρος m. `shoe-strap' (LXX; cf. lit. on σφαιρωτήρ).Origin: XX [etym. unknown]Etymology: Zero grade verbal noun to σπαίρω [impossible because of σφ-], Skt. sphuráti etc., prob. inherited and identical with OHG spuri-halz `limping' (prop. *"knuckle-lame"?) except for the final vowel. To this from Germ. also OHG spor n. `foot-mark', sporo `spur' etc.; s. σπαίρω w. lit. The by-form σφυδρά pl. ( Act. Ap. 3, 7, pap. IIIp, H., gloss.) is folketymol. (after σφόδρα, - ός or σφυδῶν?; no decision gives Schwyzer 239 Zus. 2). -- The IE etym. cannot explain inital σφ- and must be given up.Page in Frisk: 2,835Greek-English etymological dictionary (Ελληνικά-Αγγλικά ετυμολογική λεξικό) > σφυρόν
