Grammatical information: f.

Meaning: `barley' (Nic. Al. 106).

Other forms: ἀγοσταί, - έω gramm. as AB 213.

Derivatives: Denomin. verb, ptc. ἀκοστήσας ( ἵππος) Ζ 506, Ο 263 `be well fed'.

Origin: XX [etym. unknown]

Etymology: Hesychius calls the word Cyprian; Schol. on Ζ 506 Thessalian as name for food in general; cf. Bechtel Dial. 1, 204. Unclear ἀκόστιλα ἐλάχιστα H. κοσταί = ἀκοστή H. may have lost its vowel, Kuiper 1956 [FS Kretschmer], 221. - Connected with Lat. acus - eris n. `Granne, Spreu', Goth. ahs, OHG ahir n. etc. `ear (of corn)'. Frisk: "Der Bildung nach wäre ἀκοσ-τή als substantiviertes Femininum ("die Grannige") mit lat. onus-tus, venus-tus ( locus-ta?) zu vergleichen, was natürlich möglich ist" shows the weakness of this explanation; s. Schwyzer 503; but one wouls expect e-grade * akes-. Szemerényi Gnomon 43, 1961, 652 proposes * ako(n)stā \< * akont-tā. The form in - στ- (cf. ἄκαστος) rather points to foreign origin, as would the forms with - γ-, and κοσταί, if these are old.
