1 Πλειάδες
Grammatical information: pl.Other forms: secondary - άς sg., f.Origin: XX [etym. unknown]Etymology: Formaion like ` Υάδες a.o., Πλη- prob. metr. lengthening (Schulze Q. 174f.), Πελ- folketym. after πελειάδες (as Υάδες to ὗς)? (Diff. v. Wilamowitz Glaube 1,261). To Πλειάδες resembles an Iranian designation of the Plejades, e.g. NPers. parvīn pl., Psht. pērūne f. pl., beside which still Av. paoiryaēinyas (acc. f. pl.) name of a group of stars, but a common basis cannot be reconstructed. Perhaps in both languages we have to do with folketymol. transformations, in Av. and Pers. (Psht. pērūne deviates phonetically) after Av. paoirya- `the first', in Greek after πλέω ("the star of navigation"). Other attempts are quite in the dark: to Lat. pulvis, πάλη fine flour, fine dust' etc.; to πολύς, πλείων; to Skt. palāva- m. `chaff, pods'; s. on other names of the Plejades Scherer Gestirnnamen 141 ff.; also WP. 2, 60 a.
