22 πορφύρα
Grammatical information: f.Meaning: `purple dye, purple-snail, purple clothes' (Sapph., Hdt., A.).Other forms: Ion. - ρη.Compounds: Compp., e.g. πορφυρό-ζωνος `with a purple girdle' (B.), παμ-πόρφυρος `consisting only of purple, all-purple' (Pi.), ἐπι-, ὑπο-πόρφυρος `something purple' (Thphr., Arist.; Strömberg Prefix Studies 104f., 138); also ἁλι-πόρφυρος `of sea-purple, dyed with real purple, purple-red' (Od.); diff. Marzullo Maia 3, 132 ff., Il problema Omerico 255.Derivatives: 1. πορφύρ-εος, Att. - οῦς, Aeol. - ιος `purple, purple dye', of cloth(e)s, also of blood etc. (Il.; cf. on πορφύρω). 2. - εύς m. `purple-snail fisher' (Hdt., Arist.; Bosshardt 56) with - ευτικός `belonging to πορφυρεύς (-ευτής?)' (E., Poll.; prob. after ἁλιευ-τικός; cf. Fraenkel Nom. ag. 2, 63 n. 1, Chantraine Études 119), - εύω `to fish for purple-snails' (Philostr.), - ευτής m. = - εύς (Poll.). 3. - ίς f. `purple garment' (X.), also name of a bird (Ibyc.; Thompson Birds s. v.). 4. - ιον n. dimin.

PlN, e.g. Πορφυρ- ίς, - εών.Origin: PG [a word of Pre-Greek origin]X [probably]Etymology: Whether πορφύρα orig. indicated the purple-colour or the purple-snail, may remain open; for the priority of the first speaks decidedly the date of the attestations. Because of the technical nature of the word a loan from a Mediterranean language is clearly most probable (Schrader-Nehring Reallex. 2, 207), though up to now no convincing connection has been found (to be rejected Lewy Fremdw. 128). Old connection with πορφύρω (Curtius 303 w. lit.) does not convince factually, but secondary mutual inflence is undeniable.
