7 πέλαγος

πέλαγος

Grammatical information: n.

Meaning: `offing, high sea, sea surface, sea' (Il.); on the meaning etc. Lesky Herm. 78, 260ff.).

Compounds: Rare late compp. like πελαγο-δρόμος `sailing on, flying over the sea' (Orph., PMag. Par.), εὑ-πελαγής `lying by a fair sea' (Orph.).

Derivatives: πελάγ-ιος `belonging to the sea' (trag., Th., X., Arist.; after ἅλ-ιος, θαλάσσ-ιος), - ικός `id.' (Plu.), - ῖτις f. `id.' (AP); - αῖος surn. of Poseidon (Paus.; after Άγοραῖος etc.). Verbs: πελαγ-ίζω, also with ἐν-, `to form a sea, to be flooded, to be out in the open sea, to sail on the sea' (Hdt., X., Str.) with - ισμοί pl. `experiences at sea' v.t. (Alciphr.); - όομαι `to form a sea, to overflow' (Ach. Tat.).

Origin: PG [a word of Pre-Greek origin]X [probably]

Etymology: Beside πέλαγος stand with final tenuis monosyll. and w. short vowel πλάξ, - ακός f. `plain, plain of the sea etc.' (s. v.); with voiced consonant πλάγ-ιος `athwart, transvers, sloping, crooked', s.v. w. further connections, a.o. Lat. plag-a `plain, region'. A full grade disyllabic form is further not attested, but may be found with diff. suffix in πέλανος (s. v.). (Not here the `zero grades' παλάμη, παλαστή (s. vv.). On the formation of πέλαγος cf. further τέναγος, σελαγέω (Schwyzer 496). S. also Πελασγοί. - Nothing confirms the connection of this word with * pelh₂- `spread out'; the words with πλαγ\/κ- cannot phonetically be connected. So the word seems rather Pre-Greek.

8 λᾶας

λᾶας

Grammatical information: m. (late also f.),

Meaning: `stone'; as GN (Laconia) Λᾱ̃ς and Λᾶ (Th., Paus., St.Byz. a.o.; acc. Λᾰ́ᾱν Β 585).

Other forms: gen. etc. λᾱ̃-ος, -ι, - αν (-α Call.), pl. λᾶ-ες etc. (Il.); also as ο-stem λᾶος, - ου etc. (Hes.Fr. 115[?], S., Cyrene, Gortyn; details in Schwyzer 578),

Dialectal forms: Myc. raeja \/lāh-ejā\/ and Cypr. laos show that the word did not have a -w-.

Compounds: Compp., e. g. λᾱ-τόμος (beside uncontracted or restored λαο-) `stone-cutter' with λᾱτομ-ίαι `quarry' (= Lat. lātomiae beside lautumiae \< *λαο-; s.W.-Hofmann s. v.), Arg., Syracus., hell. (Ruijgh L'élém. ach. 125f.); λα(ο)-ξό(ο)ς with λαξεύω etc. (Georgacas Glotta 36, 165 f.), λατύπος; as 2. member in κραταί-λεως (\< -*ληϜος or -*λᾱϜος; cf. below) `with hard rock' (A., E.), prob. also in ὑπο-λαΐς, - ίδος (H. also - ληΐς) f. name of an unknown bird (Arist.); cf. Thompson Birds s.v.; s. also 2. λαιός.

Derivatives: λάϊγγες f. pl. `small stones' (Od., A. R.; on the formation Chantraine Formation 399; wrong Specht Ursprung 127; s. also below); λάϊνος, - ΐνεος `(of) stone' (Il.); uncertain λαιαί f. pl. (Arist.), λεῖαι (Gal.), sg. λεία (Hero) `the stones used as weights hanging from the upright loom'; unclear λαίεται καταλεύεται H. and λαυστήρ μοχθηρός... η οἴκου λαύρα, λαύστρανον τινες λύκον, τινες φρέατος ἅρπαγα H.; hypotheses by Jokl Rev. int. ét. balk. 1,46ff.

Origin: PG [a word of Pre-Greek origin]X [probably]

Etymology: On λαύρα and λεύω s. vv. The unique stemformation of λᾶας is unexplained. One supposes an old neuter with sec. transition to the masc. (fem.) after λίθος, πέτρος (Brugmann IF 11, 100 ff.). The further evaluation is quite uncertain. After Brugmann orig. nom.-acc. *λῆϜας (\< IE. *lēu̯ǝs-; on the full grade cf. λεύω and λεῖαι), gen., dat. etc. *λᾰ́Ϝᾰσ-ος, -ι (IE. *lǝu̯ǝs-os, -i) \> λᾶ-ος, -ι, to which analogically the nom. λᾶ-ας was formed. The simpler assumption, that only the vowellength in λᾶας (for older *λᾰ́Ϝας) was taken from (gen.) λᾶ-ος etc., is rejected by B. Metrical objections against a contraction of *λᾰ́Ϝᾰσ-ος, -ι to λᾶ-ος, -ι by Ruijgh l.c.; he prefers, with Chantraine Gramm. hom. 1, 211 to see in λᾶ-ος, -ι etc. an (unenlarged) consonant-stem λᾱϜ-. Who accepts these, not decisive, objections but also does not want to assume heteroclis, might assume a full grade monosyllabic oblique stem *λᾱϜσ- (beside *λᾰϜᾰσ-). The abandoning of the old σ-flection was anyhow connected with the gender-change. - Quite diff. Pedersen Cinq. decl. lat. 44ff. (with de Saussure Rec. 587 f.): λᾶας old masc. ablauting ā-stem: *λᾱϜᾱ-: λᾱϜ(ᾰ)- \< IE. * leh₂ueh₂-: *leh₂u̯(h₂)-; the supposed full grade -ā- (*- eh₂-) is however quite hypothetical, but it would nicely explain the absence of the root-vowel in the inflection; followed by Beekes, Origins (1985)15-17. - The word λᾶας was apparently unknown to Ion.-Attic (Wackernagel Hell. 9 f., Chantraine Gramm. hom. 1,22; doubts in Björck Alpha impurum 69 and 76 n. 1); Ion.-Att. form shows κραταί-λεως (or only poetical analogy after λαός: Μενέ-λεως a.o.?); thus the free-standing λεύω (s. v.). Connections to λᾶας outside Greek are rare and not without doubt. First Alb. lerë, -a `stone, heap of stones, stony plain, rockslope' from IE. *lā̆u_erā (Jokl Rev. int. et. balk. 1, 46ff.; to λαύρα?, s.v.); Illyr. PN Lavo f. prop. "which belongs to the rock (stone)" (from * lava `stone'; Krahe ZNF 19, 72; Spr. d. Illyr. 1,69 f.). One considers further the orig. Celtic Lat. lausiae f. `small stones from stone-cuttings', s. W.-Hofmann s. v. The suffixal agreement between λάϊγγες and OIr. līe, gen. līac (\< Celt. *līu̯ank-; cf. Pok. 683 against Loth Rev. celt. 44, 293; also Lewy Festschr. Dornseiff 226 f.) is no doubt accidental. Further uncertain combinations in Bq, WP. 2, 405 ff., W.-Hofmann s. lausiae. - For Aegaean origin also Chantraine Formation 421, Güntert Labyrinth 5,9. - Since the Myc. form shows that there was no -w- in the form, we must assume *lāh- (but not from *lās-, as the -s- would have been retained. Hence the relation to λεύω, λαύρα has become quite unclear. See Heubeck, IF 66 (1961) 29-34. Fur. 329 compares λέπας; he considers (n. 53) λαίνθη λάρναξ λιθίνη Cyr. as proof of Pre-Greek origin.

11 νειός

νειός

Grammatical information: f.

Meaning: `fallow field' (Hom., Hes., Call., Arist., Thphr.); on the meaning below.

Other forms: also νεός (X., Amorgos IV^a), νειά (Amorgos IV^a), νεά or νέα (Thphr., Att. inscr.).

Derivatives: Besides, in meaning quite deviating, the adv. νει-όθεν `from below (K 10, hell. poet.), νει-όθε `id.' (poet. inscr. III^p, Luc.), νει-όθι `below' (Φ 317, Hes. Th. 567, hell. poet.). -- Sup. νείατος (ep.), νέατος, Arc. νήατος, H. νῆτος `most below, utmost' (Il.), after ἔσχατος, πύματος, cf. μέσος: μέσατος; f. νεάτη (Cratin., Pl.), contr. νήτη (Arist., Ptol.), sc. χορδή `the lowest string' (with the highest tone); νειότατον κατώτατον H.; also νήϊστος in νήϊστα ἔσχατα, κατώτατα H., prob also in Νήϊσται (Boeot. -ϊτται) πύλαι in Thebes (A. Th. 460, E. Ph. 1104). -- Fem. νείαιρα ( νέαιρα Simon.) `the lowest', as subst. (sc. γαστήρ) `belly, abdomen' (Il., Hp., hell.), cf. γέραιρα a.o. (Chantraine Form. 104, 234; cf. also Benveniste Origines 112); contr. νεῖρα (A. Ag. 1479, E. Rh. 794 [readings not quite certain], H.), here m. νειρός (Lyc., H.) with f. νειρη κοίλη κοιλία ἐσχάτη H. (Schwyzer 475). Cf. on the whole Schwyzer 503. -- Denomin. νεάω `plough a fallow land' (Hes. Op. 462, com., Thphr.), early connected with νέος `new', if not even derived from it, cf. on νέος; νεατός m. `working of fallow land' (X. Oik. 7, 20; like ἀλοατός), νέασις f. `id.' (Thphr.) with νεάσιμος (Gloss.; Arbenz 87).

Origin: IE [Indo-European] [312] * ni- `(be)low'

Etymology: If νειόθεν, νείατος, νείαιρα are at all cognate with νειός, νειός (sc. γῆ, χώρα), it must have meant prop. *'lying low, lowlying plain'; the meaning `fallow land', which is also possible for Homer, but not compulsory (rather `field, plain' ?), could rest on the early connection with νέος `new'; cf. Lat. novalis, -e `fallow land'. -- Except for the ending νειός \< *νειϜός can be identical with a Slavic word fur `field', e.g. OCS njiva (with dark nj-), Russ. níva f., IE *neiu̯ó-s (Slav. -ā secondary); Fick BB 1, 335f., Schulze KZ 27, 603f. (= Kl. Schr. 373f.). If we separate a formantic u̯o-element, we can connect the IE adv. *ni `low' in Skt. ní etc.; here a.o. OHG ni-dar `to below', OE neowol `slanting' from * ni-wol (cf. νει-Ϝό-ς). The writing νη- in νήϊστος, νήατος is not convincingly explained. As old lengthened grade, esp. in a superlative, is very improbable, the η must be secondary. Hypotheses in Seiler Steigerungsformen 110ff., esp. on Νήϊται πύλαι; s. also WP. 2, 335 (= Pok. 313: η = closed ē from ει before palat. vowel?). On the Slav. words s. also Vasmer s. níva, with other explanations. -- Cf. also νέατος s. νέος.
