81 γλαῦξ
γλαῦξ, - κόςGrammatical information: f.Meaning: `the little owl, Athene noctua' (Com., Arist.).Other forms: LSJ notes γλαύξ. There is also a γλαύξ `wart cress' (Dsc.) which is also given as γλάξ (Hdn. Gr. 1.395 etc.)Origin: PG [a word of Pre-Greek origin]X [probably]Etymology: By the ancients derived from γλαυκός; rejected by Thompson Birds s. v. as folketymology; thus also Pötscher (s.s.v. γλαυκῶπις). Some bird names with k-suffix noted by Specht Ursprung 204 (IE?); note πέρδιξ and the many Pre-Greek words in -ξ (Beekes, Pre-Greek on word end). Etym. unknown. The variation in the word for `cress' points to a Pre-Greek word (which is anyhow probable), but it is not sure that the words have the same origin.Page in Frisk: 1,311Greek-English etymological dictionary (Ελληνικά-Αγγλικά ετυμολογική λεξικό) > γλαῦξ

82 γράβιον
Grammatical information: n.Origin: SUX [probably of Pre-Greek origin] Eur.Etymology: From an (Illyr.?) word for `beech, oak', * grabu, seen in Umbr. Grabovius, surname of Iupiter; the word is found in ModGr. γράβος (Epirus), γάβρος (Arcadia). Further to Russ. grab etc., and OPr. wosi-grabis. S. Vasmer Russ. et. Wb. s. v., Georgakas ByzZ 41, 361f., Porzig Gliederung 148. Rejected by Garbini, Studi Pisani I 391ff. Also Restelli, Studi Pisani II 820. Cf. κράββατος. - Fur. 169 compares γοβρίαι φανοί, λαμπτῆρες H, which cannot be ignored; he concludes that the word is a non-IE substratum word perh. from the Balkans.Page in Frisk: 1,323Greek-English etymological dictionary (Ελληνικά-Αγγλικά ετυμολογική λεξικό) > γράβιον

83 γραψαῖος
Grammatical information: m.Origin: PG [a word of Pre-Greek origin]Etymology: Not with Chantraine, Rev. Ph. 1965, 211-214 from γράφω. With Frisk "Herkunft unbekannt, vielleicht Mittelmeerwort." He compared κάραβος (Epich.). Fur. 123, 154 adduced other forms for `beetle' and `crab': Lat. scarabaeus, which supposes *σκαραβαῖος (note the agreement with our word); σκορόβυλος (from *σκορβ-) and σκορπίος. So we have: proth. s-, var. α\/ο, β\/π, all of which point to a Pre-Greek word. Fur. assumes that γραψ- stands for *γαρψ-; the ψ is difficult. This gives a word (s)karP-. Further καράμβιος (Fur. 109), καρβάρεοι κάραβοι H.; 169 καραβίδες; κηραφίς and κεράμβυξ, κεράμβηλον (with ε\/α and prenasalization). Frisk points to the "allgemeine Ähnlichkeit mit ital. ( g)ravosta, nhd. Krebs, Krabbe und anderen germ. Wörtern ebenso wie mit κάραβος".Page in Frisk: 1,326Greek-English etymological dictionary (Ελληνικά-Αγγλικά ετυμολογική λεξικό) > γραψαῖος

Grammatical information: f.Meaning: `laurel' (Od.).Other forms: Variants: λάφνη δάφνη. Περγαῖοι H. and δαύχνα (Thess., Cypr.) with Δαυχναῖος (Aetol.); also δαυχμός (Nic., H.; s. δαῦκος).Derivatives: δαφνίς `laurel' (Hp.; cf. κεδρίς and Chantr. Form. 343), δαφνών `laurel wood' (Str.), δαφνῖτις `Kassia of laurek etc.' (Dsc.; Redard Les noms grecs en - της 70f.), - ίτης ( οἶνος, Gp.), surname of Apollon in Syracuse (H., EM). Adject.: δαφνώδης `laurel-like' (E.), δάφνινος `from laurel' (Thphr.), δαφνιακός (AP), δαφνήεις `rich in laurels' (Nonn.), δαφναῖος `belonging to the laurel' (Nonn.), also surname of Apollon (AP, Nonn.), Δαφναία surname of Artemis in Sparta (Paus.), also Δαφνία (Olympia, Str.). - Δάφνις m. PN, Δαφνοῦς ON.Origin: PG [a word of Pre-Greek origin]Etymology: Like the cognate Lat. laurus is δάφνη a Mediterranean word. "Die wechselnden Formen sind teils als Varianten der gebenden Sprache, teils als wechselnde Wiedergabe bei der Entlehnung verständlich." Frisk (which is true of most variants of Pre-Greek words), who continues "Solmsen Wortforschung 118 n. 1 und Bechtel Dial. 1, 205, Gött. Nachr. 1919, 343f. wollen δαύχνα, δαυχμός von δάφνη trennen und zu δαῦκος (s. d.) mit weiterem Anschluß an δαίω `anzünden' ziehen; kaum überzeugend." Several IE etymologies in W.-Hofmann s. laurus. - The word is typical for Pre-Greek, showing several variations. They can be explained by assuming * dakʷ-(n)-, which gave δαφ-ν- or δαυκ\/ χ-(ν\/μ)-; note that there is no *λαυφ-; cf. Beekes, Pre-Greek (B 1). Thus δαφν- and δαυκ\/ χ-ν\/μ- were one word.Page in Frisk: 1,353Greek-English etymological dictionary (Ελληνικά-Αγγλικά ετυμολογική λεξικό) > δάφνη

85 δοῦμος
Grammatical information: m.Meaning: an Anatolian religious society, connected with the Magna Mater (inscr., AP).Origin: XX [etym. unknown]Etymology: Phrygian word; has been connected with Gr. θωμός `heap', Germ. e. g. Goth. doms `judgement' without further confirmation. Cf. Wikander Feuerpriester in Kleinasien und Iran (Lund 1946) 1ff. Masson found the word in Hipponax (ed. 123). Cf. bibliogr. Bull. Ep. 1992 no 202. Neumann, Florilegium Linguisticum, 345-353 shows that the word first indicates the building of the meetings; as it may have ου from o before nasal, the word could be identical with δόμος (it is uncertain whether Δύμας or Myc. duma has anything to do with it).Page in Frisk: 1,412Greek-English etymological dictionary (Ελληνικά-Αγγλικά ετυμολογική λεξικό) > δοῦμος

86 ἕλμις
Grammatical information: f.Other forms: (Arist.), gen. ἕλμινθος (with new nom. ἕλμινς Hp.), also ἕλμιγγος etc.; also acc. ἕλμιθα (epid.); nom. pl. ἕλμεις (Dsc.). Difficult λίμινθες ἕλμινθες. Πάφιοι H.Compounds: As 1. member in ἑλμινθο-βότανον `herb used against worms' (medic.).Origin: PG [a word of Pre-Greek origin]Etymology: If the dental- and velar enlargements are removed (Schwyzer 510 and 498, Chantr. Form. 366 and 400) we get a word, that agrees in its ending with two other names for `worm'. (One is found in Indo-Iranian (e. g. Skt. kŕ̥mi-), in Albanian ( krimp), Baltic (e. g. Lith. kirmìs), Slavic (e. g. OCS črъmьnъ `red' \< * črъmь, slov. čr̂m `fingerworm, carbuncle'), Celtic (e. g. OIr. cruim). The other is limited to Latin ( vermis) and Germanic (e. g. Goth. waurms), but has relatives in Balto-Slavic (e. g. OPr. vormyan `red', ORuss. vermie `ἀκρίδες') and Greek (Boeot. PN Ϝάρμιχος; cf. also, with different formation, ῥόμος σκώληξ ἐν ξύλοις H.). Of these IE *kʷr̥mi- seems to be the oldest, both for its wide distribution, especially in frontier areas, as because it is etymologically isolated (cf. Porzig Gliederung 208f.). The riming *u̯r̥mi- may have been adapted to the verb *u̯er- `turn, bend' (cf. ῥόμος and ῥατάναν). A further innovation would be found in Greek because it connected the verb u̯el- `turn, wind' (s. 2. εἰλέω), which gave two further forms for `worm', εὑλή and Ϝάλη (written ὑάλη). (From Tocharian A one adds walyi pl. `worms'.) - The last mentioned (three) forms (with -l-) are clearly unrelated. The IE forms have -r-, but our word has -l- (so the word is not IE, as Furnée 290 holds). Though DELG does not think it necessary to take the - νθ- as a sign of Pre-Greek, I don't see why. Note that the form ἔλμιγγος also shows the typical Pre-Greek prenasalization (cf. acc. ἔλμιθα IG IV 12, 122,10 Epidauros). The form λίμινθες also rather suggests a Pre-Greek variant. Was it *lymi(n)t-? (with proothetic vowel a- which became e- before the palatal l?). Note that the NGr. forms λεβίθα, - ίδες confirm the vowel right of the l (see DELG).Page in Frisk: 1,501Greek-English etymological dictionary (Ελληνικά-Αγγλικά ετυμολογική λεξικό) > ἕλμις

87 θάλασσα
Grammatical information: f.Meaning: `sea' (Il.).Dialectal forms: Att. θάλαττα, Lat Cretan θάλαθθα (Buck, Gr. Diall. $ 81b), Lac. in σαλασσο-μέδοισα Alc. 84.Compounds: Several compp., e. g. θαλασσο-κράτωρ (Hdt., Th.), ἀμφι-θάλασσος `surrounded by the sea' (Pi.; Bahuvrihi); often in hypostases, mostly with - ιος (- ίδιος), e. g. ἐπι-, παρα-θαλάσσιος, - ίδιος (IA).Derivatives: θαλάσσιος `belonging to the sea, maritime' (Hom.), - ία f. - ιον n. as plant name (Dsc.; Strömberg Pflanzennamen 114), θαλασσ-ίδιος (Hdt.), - αῖος (Simon., Pi.) `id.', θαλασσώδης `sea-like' (Hanno Peripl.), θαλασσερός m. `kind of eye-salve' (Gal.); θαλασσίτης ( οἶνος Plin.; Redard Les noms grecs en - της 96). Denominatives: θαλασσ-εύω `be in the sea' (Th.), - όομαι, - όω `be filled by water from the sea, change into sea' (Arist., hell.) with θαλάσσωσις `inundation' (Thphr., Ph.), - ίζω `be like water from the sea, wash in water of the sea' (Ath., pap.).Origin: PG [a word of Pre-Greek origin]Etymology: For the notion sea, the Greeks used for the old word, limited to Italo-Celtic, Germanic, Balto-Slavic mare - Meer etc. partly old words with a new meaning, ἅλς, prop. `salt', πόντος, prop. `path', partly made others with IE elements like Greek πέλαγος. To θάλασσα belongs Maced. (?) δαλάγχαν θάλασσαν H. the attempts to explain it are doubtful: v. Windekens Beitr. z. Namenforschung 1, 200f., id. Le Pélasgique 89, Autran REIE 2, 17ff., Buck Class.

Acc. to Lesky Hermes 78, 258ff. θάλασσα was originally a foreign word for `salt water' and in this was replaced by synonymous IE ἅλς. Fur. 195 notes that it is not certain that δαλάγχαν is Macedonian (Kalléris does not give it). The word, with a prenasalized variant, is typically Pre-Greek. Furnée further connects σάλος, ζάλος, which seems possible but remains uncertain.Page in Frisk: 1,648-649Greek-English etymological dictionary (Ελληνικά-Αγγλικά ετυμολογική λεξικό) > θάλασσα

88 -θελυμνος
- θελυμνοςGrammatical information: adj.Meaning: in προ-θέλυμνος, τετρα-θέλυμνος; προ-θέλυμνος adjunct of δένδρεα (Ι 541), of χαῖται (Κ 15), of σάκος (Ν 130); posthom. of diff. objects ( δρῦς, καρήατα); - τετρα-θέλυμνος adjunct of σάκος (Ο 479 = χ 122); cf. τριθέλυμνος = τρίπτυχος Eust. 849, 5.Origin: PG [a word of Pre-Greek origin]Etymology: A the simplex is unknown, Sturz read it in Emp. 21,6 for tradit. θελημ(ν)ά (Diels a. o. θελεμνά). With προ-θέλυμνος cf. πρό-ρριζος `of which the root is gone, uprooted', Lat. prŏ-fundus `of which the bottom is gone (removed), deep', Skt. pra-parṇa- `whose leaves have fallen off, stripped of the leaves'. As the sec. member of προ-θέλυμνος, which can be reconstructed as well as *θέλυμα as as *θελυμνον (- ος), is interpreted as `basis', προ-θέλυμνος would mean `whose basis (bottom) is gone, removed (from its fundament)', what might fit for all occurrences except Ν 130 (after it Nonn. D. 22, 183; 2, 374). Improbable Wackernagel Unt.. 237ff. (criticism of older views) who wans to see in it a variant of τετρα-θέλυμνος `with four layers', with προ- as the Aeolic parallel of τρα- from *πτϜρα- (cf. τρά-πεζα) (impossible as the word is non-IE). - The glosses of H ἀθέλιμνοι κακοί; ἀθέλημον ἄκουσμα κακόν are unclear; id. for θέλεμνον ὅλον ἐκ ῥιζῶν (Latte in Mayrhofer KEWA. 2, 94A.). As the place in Empedokles is unclear, we can only use the compp. Connection with Sanskrit dharúṇam n. in Mayrhofer is also impossible (as the word is Pre-Greek). - Krahe Die Antike 15, 181 thinks the word is Pre-Greek, which is without a doubt correct (suff.

But the original meaning must rather have been `support oneself (on)' v.t., if the word is cognate with θρόνος; θρᾶνος, θρῆνυς then "the support, the bearer". This analysis however is quite doubtful.

Val.).Origin: XX [etym. unknown]Etymology: Since Kretschmer, Wiener Eranos, 1909,121-3 one assumes that, because of the medicinal effect of the castor for women's diseases the name Κάστωρ, who was known as σωτήρ of women, was transferred to the beaver. S. Bq s. v. Schwyzer 635 gives parallel cases, but there are no real parallels (he gives only ἀλέκτωρ, which is prob. also incorrect). This idea has been uncritically taken over. In fact Kretschmer has no specific argument. Thus Gantz, Early Gr. Myth (1993), who discusses the Dioskouroi rather extensively (323-328) mentions nothing about a relation with the beaver. There is, then, nothing that makes it probable that the name of Castor was also used for the beaver. This kind of pseudo-certainties should be abandoned. Schrader-Nehring 138 point out that the animal no longer existed in Greece and that the word will be a foreign word. It is first mentiond in Hdt. 4, 109 in the North Pontic area. (A Pre-Greek word for ` beaver' may have been λάταξ. There seem to have been words in - τωρ in Pre-Greek: βιάτωρ, λείτωρ. The word was taken over in Latin and spread from there to the European languages. W.-Hofmann s. castrō and ēcastor, Wahrmann Glotta 17, 258.

(Schwyzer 474, Chantraine Formation 98), but further the history of the word is rather dark. Notable is the similarity with a Slavic word for `glue', e. g. Russ.-CS. klějь, klejь, Russ. klej from PSl. *kъlějь, * kъlьjь (with reduced vowel); Germanic has an isolated verb, limited to a small area: MDutch. MLG helen `stick' (PGm. * haljan); the details however remain unclear. Pok. 612 after Fick 1, 389, Zupitza Die german. Gutturale 113; also Vasmer Russ. et. Wb. s. klej. Rom. LW [loanword] It. colla, Fr. colle etc. - A word with similar meaning, with wide spread, is γλοιός, s. v. Or is it Pre-Greek. *kolya?Page in Frisk: 1,898-899Greek-English etymological dictionary (Ελληνικά-Αγγλικά ετυμολογική λεξικό) > κόλλᾰ

97 κόλλαβος
Grammatical information: m.Derivatives: κολλαβίζω "play κόλλαβος", i. e. one holds his eyes, while the other strikes him, and bids him guess with which hand he has been struck (Poll. 9, 129); motive of the name is dark.Origin: PG [a word of Pre-Greek origin]Etymology: Poplar word in - βος (Schwyzer 496, Chantraine Formation 261f.) and like so many words of the same formation without etymology. Would the word orig. mean `buffet'? See κόλλοψ. Cf. futher κόλλιξ and κολλύρα. The word is no doubt Pre-Greek. Cf. Nicole Guilleux, RPh.

98 κύμβη 1
κύμβη 1Grammatical information: f.Meaning: `cup, bowl' (Nic., Ath.), `boat' (S. Fr. 127);Derivatives: κύμβος m. (n.) `hollow vessel' (Nic., H.); κυμβίον (- εῖ-) n. `small cup' (Att., hell.), `small boat' (H., Suid.). Also κύμβαλον n., usu. pl. -α `cymbal' (Pi., A., X.; cf. κρόταλον) with the dimin. κυμβάλιον (Hero) and the denom. κυμβαλίζω `sound the cymbals' (hell.); and - ισμός, - ιστής, - ίστρια (late).Origin: PG [a word of Pre-Greek origin]Etymology: Here prob. also ἀν-εκυμβαλίαζον ( δίφροι Π 379) `they clashed as κύμβαλα together' (diff. Kuiper Μνήμης χάριν 1, 214 n. 11). By Curtius 158 connected with Skt. kumbhá-, Av. xumba- m. `pot'; thus (with Fick, Pedersen) Celt. vase-names as MIr. comm, cummal; more in Bq, Pok. 592, W.-Hofmann s. cubō. Further Sayce ClRev. 42, 161. - Because of the sequence * kumb(h)- it cannot be an old IE word; rather a `Wanderwort' - From κύμβη Lat. cymba, cumba `ship' (acc. to Plin. ΗΝ 7, 208 Phoenician). Fur. 284 compares κύπη `ship etc.' H. and considers the word as Pre-Greek; thus DELG (Frisk refers to the word but does no treat it).See also: -- Vgl. κύπη.Page in Frisk: 2,48Greek-English etymological dictionary (Ελληνικά-Αγγλικά ετυμολογική λεξικό) > κύμβη 1

Except for the nasal λύγξ has a counterpart in Lith. consonant stem lūš-ų (gen. pl.), with as innovation the i-stem lū́š-is. The same transformation show the Slav. words, which however through influence of an other word (* rysъ `sotted, red'?) got an initial r-: Russ. rýsь etc. Also elsewhere transformstions have occurred: with thematic vowel in Swed. lō `lynx' (PGm. * luh-a-, IE *luḱ-o-); with s-sufflx in Westgermanic: OHG luhs, OE lox (cf. Germ. Fuchs, OE fox); with n-suffix in Arm. lus-an-un-k` (ἅπ. εἰρ.) pl., which also supposes old full grade (IE *leuḱ- or louḱ-). The Arm. n-fomation might be connected somehow with the Greek nasalinfix, which reappers also in Lith. dial. (Zem.) lųnšis. - Details and further connections in Bq, WP. 2, 411 f., Pok. 690, Fraenkel Wb. s. lū́šis, Vasmer Wb. s. rýsь. - Fur. 121 adduces considerations that show that it is in origin a non-IE word. The word has been connected with the root *leuḱ- `see' and would refer to the sharp sight of the animal. But this cannot explain the long ū of Balto-Slavic. Nor can the -n- be explained; nor the g of Gr. λύγγ-ιος. So the word is non-IE, prob. a loan from a Eur. substratum. - I see no reason to connect the gloss λουνόν λαμπρόν H.
