1 ἀπούρᾱς
ἀπούρᾱςGrammatical information: aor. ptc.Meaning: `taking away, depriving' (Il.)Etymology: For *ἀπο-Ϝρᾱς (see Lejeune Traité de phonétique 154 u. 197). To the root aor. 3. Sg. ἀπ-ηυρᾱ (= *ἀπ-η-Ϝρᾱ with long augment). Ptc. med. ἀπουρᾰ́μενος (Hes. Sc. 173), analogical as zero grade - urh₂- would have given -Ϝρᾱ-. 1sg. ἀπηύρων (after the type ἐτίμα: ἐτίμων); see Chantr. Gramm. hom. 356, 379f.; also DELG. The barytonesis is Aeolic (Wackernagel Gött. Nachr. 1914, 119), not after the s-aor., which does not exist. The root * ureh₂- is not known from other languages. See Sinclair, Class. Rev. 39 (1925) 99ff; Strunk Glotta 37 (1958) 118-127. - On ἀπό-ερσε s.s.v.Page in Frisk: 1,125Greek-English etymological dictionary (Ελληνικά-Αγγλικά ετυμολογική λεξικό) > ἀπούρᾱς

Grammatical information: m.Meaning: `frog' (Hdt.). Also name of a fish `Lophius piscatorius' (Arist.), s. Strömberg Fischnamen 92f.).Other forms: Ion. βάθρακος with normal displacement of aspiration (Schwyzer 269, Lejeune, Phonét. 50); βότραχος (Hp.) and βρόταχος (Xenoph. 40, s. Bechtel Dial. 3, 109); βρατάχους βατράχους H.; - βρούχετος.. βάτραχον δε Κύπριοι H. (after βρυχάομαι?, Schwyzer 182); βύρθακος βάτραχος H.; βρύτιχοι βάτραχοι μικροὶ ἔχοντες οὑράς H.

Redard Les noms grecs en - της 53).Origin: PG [a word of Pre-Greek origin]Etymology: Several variants will be due to folketymology or taboo, and also simple phonetic variation. A priori for all these forms a local, i.e. Pre-Gr. form is to be expected. To this will point the variation α\/ο. This holds also for βαρδακος if this must be read in H. for βαρακος βάραχος (Fur. 184 A. 2; s. Latte). The form may in origin have been onomat.? (cf. Grošelj, Živa Ant. 6 (1956) 235) βρατ-αχ-, cf. βρεκεκεξ. Or even * brt-ak-, from which the forms with - υ- might come ( βύρθακος, βρύτιχος). The desperate forms βριαγχόνη, βρόγχος (this form to be read for βρούχετος?) contain a (misread) prenasalized *( βρατ)αγχος, which would also point to Pre-Greek.

3 γλαφυρός
Grammatical information: adj.Meaning: `hollow(ed)' (Il.), `polished, smooth, refined, elegant' (Ar.).Derivatives: γλαφυρότης `neatness, elegance' (Ph.) and γλαφυρία `id.' (Plu.). - Rare γλάφυ n. `hollow, cavern' (Hes. Op. 533) and γλάφω `hollow' (Hes. Sc. 431), also διαγλάψασα, late `engrave' ( ClassRev. 12, 282; Koptos IIp).Origin: XX [etym. unknown]Etymology: Dissimilated from - υλός (?) acc. to Leumann ( Glotta 32, 223 A. 2), from an u-stem ( λιγυρός: λιγύς)?. Perhaps γλάφυ is old and represents this u-stem; γλάφω, a ἅπ. λεγ. `hollow', can be secondary. Later the verb means (though not quite certainly) `engrave. It looks as a cross between γλύφω and γράφω. The development to `smooth' etc. is rather surprising. - Compare Slavic words for `hollow, gnaw', e.g. Sloven. glóbati. (But Russ. globá `cross-beam' does not fit in, Vasmer Russ. et. Wb. s. v.). DELG thinks that υ stands for α (Lejeune, Phonétique 1969, 180, 315f.) or a dissimilation of *γλυφυ-.

Schmid -εος und -ειος 48.Origin: PG [a word of Pre-Greek origin]Etymology: A form *δνέφος n. is supposed by ἰο-δνεφής `violet-dark' (δ 135, ι 426; vgl. Porzig Satzinhalte 300); further isolated. The word recalls ζόφος as well as κνέφας and ψέφας (s. vv.), but the words have not been explained, s. Güntert Reimwortbildungen 112ff. Also Petersen AmJPh 56, 57ff. Note δνόψ χιτῶνος εἶδος βαθέος H.

7 ἐάω
Grammatical information: v.Meaning: `let (go), permit, let in quiet'.Other forms: Ipf. εἴων, aor. ἐᾶσαι (ind. εἴασα), fut. ἐάσω (Il.; orig. ἐᾰ́σ(σ)αι, resp. ἐᾰ́σ(σ)ω?, s. below), perf. etc. εἴᾱκα, εἴαμαι, εἰάθην (D., Isoc.)Derivatives: None.Origin: XX [etym. unknown]Etymology: The glosses ἔβασον ἔασον. Συρακόσιοι H., EM, εὔα... ἔα H. assure for ἐάω a digamma; the diphthongal augment points to a consonantal beginning, probably σ-; but the absence of aspiration is unexplained (cf. Lejeune Traité de phonétique 78 n. 2). So a disyllabic root ( σ)εϜᾰ- like ἐλᾰ-, τελᾰ- etc., with in the aorist *(σ)εϜᾰ́-σαι \> ἐᾰ́σαι, or with analogical - σσ- (like ἐλάσ(σ)αι a. o.; after τελέσ-(σ)αι a. o.) ἐᾰ́σσαι, fut. ἐᾰ́σ(σ)ω, forms that can be found in Hom. (ἐᾰ́σουσιν φ 233, εἴᾰσεν Κ 299 as v. l.); so one could read ἐάσσαι for ἐᾶσαι (Δ 42) etc. like ἐάσσω (v. l.) in Parm. 8, 7. Also ἐάσομεν, ἔασον in Hdt. are understandable (cf. ἔησον ἔασον H.). The length in ἐᾶσαι etc. would then be from the denominatives in - άω. So unique ἔᾰ (Ε 256) would be 3. sing. of an athematic Aeolic ἔᾰ-μι. - Schwyzer 682 and 752, Chantraine Gramm. hom. 1, 356. A good connection for ἐάω has not been found. Connection as IE seuH-; Skt. savi- in savi-tár- `Antreiber etc.' with pres. suváti `antreiben' does not fit well semantically.

PN Βετεσπιος, give IE *h₁eḱu̯os; further HLuw. aśuwa, Lyc. esbe. From this form we expect Gr. *ἔππος or *ἔκκος (s. Schwyzer 301). A form with geminate is indeed found in ἴκκος (EM 474, 12), Ἴκκος PN (Tarent., Epid.); s. Lejeune, Phonétique 72. (With ἴκκος: ἵππος cf. Pannonian PN Ecco, Eppo.) A problem is the ἰ-; one suggestion was that it is Mycenaean; Cf. W.-Hofmann s. equus, Schwyzer 351.

The supposition, καίνω, κανεῖν would have arisen from κατα-κανεῖν with dissimilation for κατα-κτανεῖν (Kieckers IF 36, 233ff., Chantraine Sprache 1, 142 n. 3), is difficult to connect with the chronology of the attestations.

12 ὀφθαλμός
Grammatical information: m.Meaning: `eye' (Il.).Other forms: Boeot. ὄκταλλος, Epid.

(Ar.); 2. - ία, Ion. - ίη f. `eye-disease' (s. Scheller Oxytonierung 42f.) with - ιάω `suffering from an eye-disease' (IA.), with - ίασις f.

Verbs ὀφθαλμίζομαι `to be inoculated' (Thphr.), `to suffer from ὀ-ία' (Plu.); with prep. ἐν-ὀφθαλμ-ίζω `to inoculate' (Thphr.), - ίζομαι pass. (Delos) with - ισμός (Thphr.); also - ιάζομαι (Plu.); ἐξ-οφθαλμ-ιάζω `to disregard, to disparage' (pap. IVp); ἐπ-οφθαλμ-ίζω (Pherecyd., Plu.), - ιάω (Plu., pap. IIIp), - έω (pap. IVp) `to ogle, to peep at'.Origin: PG [a word of Pre-Greek origin]Etymology: Understandably the word has been derived from the root ὀπ- `see'. Variants are Boeot. ὄκταλλος, Epid. Lac. ὀπτίλ(λ)ος. The group κτ: πτ: φθ ("mit altem κτ [but see below], analogischem πτ und expressivem φθ" (Frisk) [Schwyzer 299 bzw. Benveniste Origines 48]?) has been connected with the group kṣ in Skt. ákṣi `eye' Schwyzer 317 w. lit.). With the suppletive n-stem e.g. in gen. akṣ-ṇ-ás the l-stem in ὀφθ-αλ-μός would correspond (Specht 351n.1). "Die lautlichen Einzelheiten sind indessen nicht endgültig und eindeutig aufgeklärt" (Frisk). An IE laibo-velar before consonat became a labial, Lejeune Phonét. $ 42, so Frisks "mit altem κτ" is wrong. The rise of - αλ(λ)- cannot be explained from IE. The repeated attempts, to explain ὀφθαλμός as a compound, are all wrong (to θάλαμος Brugmann, s. Bq and WP. 1, 864). The variation cannot well be explained as IE, nor can the formation of ὀφθαλμός. ὄκταλλος has a Pre-Greek suffix, Beekes FS Kortlandt.; already Devel. 193); it continues a palatalized l (i.e. *ly, which was represented as a geminate). This leads to a PGr. reconstruction *akʷt-aly-(m)- (with *a- = [ο] before the labiovelar). Here the labiovelar could become a labial, but the labial element could also be ignored, which gave ὀκτ-. Aspiration was not phonemic in Pre-Greek, hence the variant ὀφθ- is unproblematic. In ὀπτίλ(λ)ος apparently the (second) *a became i through the following labialized consonant. The fact that PGr. * akʷ- strongly resembles IE * h₃ekʷ- is a mere coincidence, an accident that may be expected to occur here and there. -- Note the expressive geminate in ὄκκον ὀφθαλμόν H. (to Arm. akn? Meillet BSL 26, 15f.; s. also Lejeune Traité de phon. 72 n. 1); this word may well be of IE origin. -- For words derived from the IE root ὀπ- `see', s. ὄμμα, ὄσσε, ὄπωπα; cf. WP. 1, 169ff., Pok. 775ff., W.-Hofmann s. oculus etc.Page in Frisk: 2,452-453Greek-English etymological dictionary (Ελληνικά-Αγγλικά ετυμολογική λεξικό) > ὀφθαλμός

Grammatical information: PNMeaning: The Greek commander before Troy (Il.)Origin: XX [etym. unknown]Etymology: Prellwitz BB 17, 171f. assumed *Αγα-μέδ-μων `mächtig waltend'; s. Stolz, Innsbrucker Festgruß 13ff. The development - δμ- \> - νμ- \> - μν- is known (Lejeune, Phonét. 77 n. 5. Kretschmer Glotta 3, 330f. connected the second part with μένος und μένειν, explaining - σμ- as a kind of vulgar assimilation. S. also Fiesel Namen 65ff. However, the development to - σμ- is phonetically less easy. On the problem Schwyzer 208. But a variation dental\/σ is known from PreGreek, as in τεῦτλον\/ σεῦτλον; cf. Μέδμα\/ Μέσμα, a town of the Locrians in Bruttium; cf. Furnée 263 ἀσμωλεὶν\/ ἀδμωλή Κάδμος\/ Κάσμος We might assume an affricate as the origin (*- medm-\/- mesm- \< *- mecm-).
