⑤ to convey a sense of distancing through an allowable margin of freedom, leave it to someone to do something, let, let go, allow, tolerate

ⓐ w. acc. (Arrian, Anab. 1, 25, 2; Himerius, Or. [Ecl.] 4, 1; 4 Km 4:27; PsSol 17:9) Mt 15:14; Mk 5:19; 11:6; 14:6; Lk 13:8; Ac 5:38. ἀφεῖς τ. γυναῖκα Ἰεζάβελ you tolerate the woman Jezebel Rv 2:20. ἐὰν ἀφῶμεν αὐτὸν οὕτως if we let him go on like this (i.e. doing miracles) J 11:48.—Related types of usage allow, let, permit, leave w. double acc. οὐκ ἀμάρτυρον αὐτὸν ἀφῆκεν God has not left himself without a witness Ac 14:17 (cp.

W. ἵνα foll. Mk 11:16.

ⓑ The imperatives ἄφες, ἄφετε are used w. the subjunctive esp. in the first pers. (this is the source of Mod. Gk. ἄς; B-D-F §364, 1 and 2; Rob. 931f) ἄφες ἐκβάλω τὸ κάρφος let me take out the speck Mt 7:4; Lk 6:42 (cp. Epict. 4, 1, 132 ἄφες σκέψωμαι; POxy 413, 184 [II 1d] ἄφες ἐγὼ αὐτὸν θρηνήσω). ἄφες (ἄφετε) ἴδωμεν let us see Mt 27:49; Mk 15:36 (cp. Epict. 3, 12, 15 ἄφες ἴδω). It is also used w. the third pers.

(The usage Epict. 4, 13, 19 ἄφες οὖν, ἵνα κἀγὼ ταὐτὰ ὑπολάβω is not strictly parallel, for the impv. is not followed by a pronoun. The rendering let her keep it [s. Mlt. 175f] treats ἄφες as an auxiliary. NRSV’s addition, ‘She bought it’, is unnecessary.) The second pers. is rare ἄφες ἴδῃς Hs 8, 1, 4 acc. to PMich. Abs. let it be so, let it go (Chariton 4, 3, 6) Mt 3:15; GEb 18, 40 (w. ὅτι foll.=‘for’).—B. 768; 839; 1174. DELG s.v. ἵημι. M-M. TW. Sv.

Meaning: `sea-shore, beach'; also GN, e. g. the coast of Achaia (Il.).

Dialectal forms: Myc. aikiharijo prob. \/ aigihalio-\/ AJ 134

Derivatives: αἰγιάλειος, αἰγιαλεύς are late, hell. ( Αἰγιαλεῖς name of the inhabitants of the coast of Achaia Hdt.).

Origin: XX [etym. unknown]

Etymology: The Myc. form seems to confirm derivation of the second element from ἅλς. To ἅλλομαι, Kretschmer Glotta 27, 28f. with Bechtel Lex. For the first part one compares αἶγες τὰ κύματα. Δωριεῖς H. (and Artem. 2, 12: καὶ γὰρ τὰ μεγάλα κύματα αἶγας ἐν τῃ̃ συνηθείᾳ λέγομεν). But αἶγες = κύματα could be just a metaphorical use of αἴξ `goat'. Heubeck IF 68 (1963) 13-21 `heftig [von den Wogen] besprungen'; not very probable. - Pre-Greek acc. to Chantr. Form. 248, which cannot be excluded though Chantraine now calls it `facile' (=?).

Dialectal forms: not Attic

Derivatives: ἀμπλακία `fault' (Hp.) with ἀμπλακιῶτις f. = ἱερὰ νόσος (Poet. de herb.).

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

Etymology: Compared with ἀμβλίσκω, which DELG rejects both as regards the form and the meaning. Not to βλάξ either. S. J. Schmidt KZ 37, 28f., Schwyzer 210: 4.

Origin: IE [Indo-European] [735] *mr̥-tó- `dead, mortal'

Origin: IE [Indo-European] [318] *h₁n(e)u̯n̥ `nine'

Etymology: Beside Skt. náva, Lat. novem (with -m after decem, septem), Goth. niun, Lith. devynì, OCS devętь (with d- through dissimilation against -n- or after dẽšimt, desętь) etc., all from IE *h₁neu̯n̥, Gr. ἐννέ(Ϝ)α, *ἐνϜα- (*h₁n̥u̯n̥; from where εἰνα-, ἐνα- etc.) like Arm. inn (= inǝn, disyllabic) show forms beginning with vowel, IE *h₁neu̯n̥, *h₁nu̯n̥; unclear Thrac. ενεα (v.

Origin: IE [Indo-European] [??] * set- `stable, true?'

Etymology: For the ending cf. κενε(Ϝ)ός `empty, idle'; so ἐτε(Ϝ)ός supposes a diphthongal u-stem, of which the zero grade is seen in the enlarged ἔτυ-μος (pattern?); beside this u-stem ἐτάζω, ἐτά ἀληθῆ, ἀγαθά H. seem to point to an o-stem. - Further analysis uncertain; s. ἐτάζω.

By Schrader KZ 30, 473 as "handy" connected with καρπός `root of the hand' with further connection with OHG hwerban `turn' etc., s. 2. καρπός. Solmsen KZ 30, 602 does not connect καρπός, and starts directly from the meaning `turn'. Others, e. g. L. Meyer and Bechtel (s. Lex. s. v.), see the basis in κάλπη `trot' (with dissimilation). A first syllable καρπ- can hardly be of IE origin.

Etymology: Iterative-intensive formation, formally from primary ἔρχομαι; s.v. and Schwyzer 719 a. 702 (which DELG finds neither formally nor semantically convincing).

Backformations like ἀνά-, ἀπό-, διά-πειρα (Pi., IA.) from ἀνα-πειράομαι etc. On ταλαπείριος s. v.

Derivatives: Three denominatives: 1. πειράομαι, more rare - άω, often w. prefix like ἀνα-, δια-, ἀπο-, ἐκ-, `to tempt, to put to the test, to try' (Il.). From it πειρᾱ-τής m. `pirate' (hell.) with - τικός `belonging to pirates' (Str., Ph.), - τεύω `to act like a pirate' (LXX); πειρατήριον, Ion. - ητ- n. `(juridical) trial' (Hp., E.). `gang of pirates, pirates' nest' (LXX, Str.), πειρητήριος `exploring, trying' (Hp.); πείρασις f. `temptation, assault' (Th., D.

Gramm.), - αστικός `belonging to, fit for tempting, trying' (Arist.), ἀ-πείρασ-τος `unexperienced, untempted' (hell.); to πείρασις s. on πειράομαι. -- 3. πειρη-τίζω (only presentst.) `to tempt, to explore, to assault' (Il.; on the fomation Schwyzer 706).

Origin: IE [Indo-European] [818] * per- `try'

Etymology: Formed like στεῖρα, σπεῖρα, μοῖρα etc., so \< *πέρ-ι̯α (Aeol. πέρρα after Choerob. An. Ox. 2, 252), ι̯α-deriv. from a basis of unknown function (Schwyzer 474, Chantraine Form. 98 f.). Backformation from πειράομαι (Sommer Nominalkomp. 118 as alternative) is certainly possible, but the formation of the verb then remains unclear. -- Certain cognates presents only Latin in perī-tus `experience', perī-culum `attempt, danger, proces', ex-perior, - īrī `try, put to the test', of which the ī-element seems to be connected with the Greek suffix. Arm. p` orj `attempt', if with Meillet BSL 36, 110 to be connected, must represent an aspirated (expressive) anlaut. Further uncertain or improbable connections with Celt. and Germ. in WP. 2, 28f., Pok. 818, W.-Hofmann s. perī-culum. Connection with the great group of πείρω, περάω (s. vv.) is very probable.
