106 ἀλίβας
ἀλίβας, - αντοςGrammatical information: m.Meaning: `corpse, a dead' (Pl. R. 387 c, H.), also of the Styx (S. Fr. 790) and metaphorically of wine-vinegar (Hippon.). ἀλίβας· νεκρός ἦ βροῦχος ἦ ποταμός ἦ ὄξος H.; other glosses s. Peiffer ad Call. fr. 216 (v.l. ἁ-; the vowel is perhaps long).Origin: PG [a word of Pre-Greek origin]Etymology: The antique explanation as `sapless' with α privativum and λιβάς is popular etymology (defended by Lawson ClassRev. 40, 52ff., 116ff.; cf. Wilamowitz Herm. 54, 64. Wrong Immisch Arch. f. Religionswiss. 14, 449f. Furher Petersson Gr. u. lat. Wortstudien (1922) 3f. Kretschmer Glotta 28, 269 connected Etr. lupu `he died', Lat.

107 δίκελλᾰ
Grammatical information: f.Meaning: a two-pronged fork (trag., Delos IIIa).Derivatives: δικελλίτης (Luc.).Origin: PG [a word of Pre-Greek origin]Etymology: Technical term without explanation. The connection with μάκελλα, μακέλη (Il.) favours an analysis as δί- and μά-κελλα, which is possible only for δί-κελλα: it would be a ι̯α-derivation from *δί-κελος or the like, "with two tooths"; but κελεΐς, κελεός does not fit, nor does σκάλλω; but a corresponding derivation of μα- (IE * sem-) is impossible. Note that the variation - ελλα\/- ελη is un-Greek = Pre-Greek. - "Die Anknüpfung an δικεῖν (Bechtel Lex., Chantr. Form. 99), wobei von einer λ-Ableitung *δικ-ελος auszugehen wäre, hat in der Bedeutung von δίκελλα (eig. *`Worfel, Schippe'?) keinen genügenden Anhalt."

(idem to ἔλα); unclear γέλαν (= Ϝέλαν?) αὑγην ἡλίου, because of γελεῖν λάμπειν, ἀνθεῖν H. perh. to γελάω, γαλήνη (s. vv.), but γελοδυτία ἡλιοδυσία H. belongs to Ϝέλα.Compounds: As 1. member in εἱλη-θερής `warmed by the sun' (Hp., Gal.), ἐλαθερές ἡλιοθαλπές H., rather to θέρομαι then to θέρος (s. Schwyzer 513); from there εἱληθερέω, - έομαι `warm (oneself) in the sun' (Hp.); εἱλι-κρινής, εἱλό-πεδον, s. vv. As 2. member in πρός-ειλος `exposed to the heat of the sun, sunny' (A.), εὔ-ειλος `id.' (Ar.), ἄ-ειλος `sunless' (A. Fr. 334).Derivatives: εἰλήϊον ἐν ἡλίῳ θερμανθέν H.

Schwyzer 226f.), from where Ϝέλᾱ, ἕλᾱ beside which one assumed a form with prothetic vowel: *ἐ-Ϝhέλᾱ \> εἵλη, εἴλη, belongs as verbal noun IE *su̯elā to a verb `burn slowly, singe', which is still existent in Germanic and Baltic, e. g. OE swelan, NHG schwelen (full grade), Lith. svìlti (zero grade of a disyllabic root: *su̯elH-) `singe (intr.), burn without flame' with many derivatives. The Greek forms present εἱλ- beside ἑλ-, which cannot be explained. From a root *su̯el- a form h₁u̯el- is hardly possible.

Th. 883; Redard Les noms grecs en - της 71), θαμνώδης `id.' (Thphr.), θαμνάς = ῥίζα (EM). - Beside it θάμνη (-α) f. `wine from pressed grapes (?)' (Herod. 6, 90, Gp.). θάμνος beside θαμινός and θαμά as πυκνός beside πυκινός and πύκα; the barytonesis is caused by the substantivizing (cf. Schulze Kl. Schr. 124 n. 1).Origin: PG [a word of Pre-Greek origin]X [probably]Etymology: For the meaning cf. the explanation in H.: θάμνοι δασέα καὶ πυκνὰ δένδρα. - Not with Alessio Studi etr. 18, 414 to Lat. tamnus s.

Pr. 18), θέμιτος (Pi. O. 13, 8); rarely also θέμιος (Hdt. 2, 50; v. l. - ιδος), θέμεως (inscr. Metropolis); acc. θέμιν (Hes.), voc. Θέμι (Ο 93). Plur. θέμιστες, acc. - ιστας etc. `statutes, (divine) laws, oracles' (Hom., Hes., Thgn., Pi.).Compounds: As 1. member e. g. in θεμι-σκόπος `preserving justice' (Pi.), θεμισ-κρέων `ruling through justice' (Pi.), θεμιστο-πόλος `supporting the laws, obeying the oracles' (h. Cer. 103, inscr. Delphi IIIa);. As 2. member e. g. in ἄ-θεμις `lawless, unlawful' (Pi., E.), ἀ-θέμιτος `id.' (Hdt.), ἀ-θέμιστος `id.' (Il.), also ἀ-θεμίστιος (Od.; metr. by-form).Derivatives: θεμιστός (A. Th. 694 [lyr.]; after ἀ-θέμιστος); θεμιτός in οὑ θεμιτόν = οὑ θέμις (IA); Θεμίστιος surname of Zeus `Lord of the θέμιστες' (Plu.); also month name (Thessaly); θεμιστεῖος `regarding the θ.' (Pi.); θεμιστοσύναι = θέμιστες (Orph. H. 79, 6). Denomin. verbs: 1. θεμιστεύω `proclaim the θέμ., i. e. laws, oracles' (Od.) with θεμιστεία `giving oracles' (Str.). 2. θεμιτεύω `behave lawful' (E. Ba. 79 [lyr.]). 3. θεμιζέτω μαστιγούτω, νομοθετείτω. Κρῆτες H.; after Bechtel Dial. 2, 786 to be changed in θεμισσέτω (= Paus. Gr. Fr. 202); aor. ptc. θεμισσάμενος (Pi.). - Several PN, z. B. Θεμιστο-κλῆς (s. on θέμερος)Origin: PG [a word of Pre-Greek origin]Etymology: To θέμις seems to agree Av. dā-mi- f. `creation', also `creator' (m. a. f.); cf. the same diff. between θέ-σις, - θε-τος as opposed to - dā-ti-, dā-ta- `basis, justice, law' (= θέμις). A problem is formed by the remarkable plural-formations θέμι-στ-ες, θέμι-στ-ος etc.; the explanation by Schulze (also Fraenkel Glotta 4, 22ff.) as a compound θεμι- and στᾱ- `stand', gives almost unsurmountable difficulties ; s. Frisk Eranos 48, 1ff. The occasional neutral genus acc. to Fraenkel from synonymous expressions like δέον, καλόν, προσῆκον (possible, but rather inherited from the Pre-Greek origin). - On the meaning of θέμις H.

Grammatical information: adj.Meaning: `offered or permitted by the gods or nature, pleasing to the gods, just (= Lat. fas), devout, ritually pure' (Thgn., IA.; cf. ὁσίη below).Compounds: As 2. member in ἀν-όσιος (IA.), prob. prop. bahuvrihi `who is without τὸ ὅσιον, ἡ ὁσία' (Frisk Adj. priv. 10 f.), ἀφ-όσιος = ἀν-όσιος (Egypt. inscr. Ia; Strömberg Prefix Studies 41).Derivatives: ὁσία, Ion. - ίη f. `divine or natural law, law, holy custom, holy service' (Od.), prob. for ὁσι-ία (Frisk Eranos 43, 220 w. lit.; diff. Porzig Satzinhalte 208); ὁσιό-της f. `divine obedience, piety' (Pl., X.). Denominative ὁσιό-ομαι, -ω, esp. w. ἀφ-, also w. καθ- a. ἐξ-, `to purify (oneself), to hallow' (IA.) with ( ἀφ-, καθ-)οσίωσις f. `purification, hallowing' (D.H., Plu.), ἀφοσιώματα καθάρ-ματα, καθάρσια H., ὁσιωτήρ m.

Diss. Utrecht 1941, Jeanmaire REGr. 58, 66ff., van der Walk REGr. 64, 417ff. No convincing etymology. Since Brugmann Grundr.2 II: 1, 401 mostly explained as ιο-deriv. of a ptc. * s-o-to-(from * es- `to be') beside seeming * s-e-to- in ἐτά ἀληθῆ (s. ἐτάζω); the root is now established as * h₁s-. As improbable alternative B. considers transformation of an *ἁτιος = Skt. satyá- `true' (\< IE *sn̥t-ii̯o-) after *ὁντ-. Schwyzer 344 considers Aeolic origin (ὁ- for ἁ-) as possible. The derivation from * soto- (root * set- in ἐτάζω) is defended by Pinault, Langue, style (1996) 43f.: *sotii̯o- `conforme à l'ordre établi, pieux'. -- Well argued criticism by v.

114 ῥάβδος
Grammatical information: f.Meaning: `twig, rod, staff, streak, groove' (Il.).Compounds: Compp., e.g. ῥαβδ-οῦχος m. `staff-bearer' as name of an official (Ar., Th., hell.), πολύ-ρραβδος `having many streaks' (Arist.).Derivatives: 1. Dimin. ῥαβδ-ίον n.

A suffixal element δο- can, except in a few nouns indicating sounds (e.g. κέλαδος), only be found in isolated, etymolog. mostly unclear words (Schwyzer 508 f., Chantraine Form. 359 f.); but note the old, in meaning close word κλάδος; cf. Specht Ursprung 230 with motley material. A basis *ῥάβ-ι̯ος, by Bq given as possible, is defended by Haas Μνήμης χάριν 1, 132. Except for the - δ-, ῥάβ-δ-ος can be compared with Lith. vir̃bas `twig, spigs, rod' and Russ. vérba (OCS vrъba) `willow' (IE *u̯r̥b-). Beside it with full grade Lat. verbera pl. `(rods for) punishment', verbēnae pl. `the twigs of the laurel etc.' -- Further forms w. lit. in W.-Hofmann, Fraenkel and Vasmer s.vv.; also WP. 1, 275 and Pok. 1153. -- We can be certain that the word is Pre-Greek (not in Furnée).Page in Frisk: 2,636-637Greek-English etymological dictionary (Ελληνικά-Αγγλικά ετυμολογική λεξικό) > ῥάβδος

115 σανίς
σανίς, - ίδοςGrammatical information: f.Meaning: `board, plank, wooden scaffold etc.', pl. also `tablets used for writing, writing board(s)' (Att.), `planks of a gate, wing of a door' (ep.).Derivatives: 1. Diminut. σανίδ-ιον n. (Att. etc.), σαν-ίσκη f. `painting' (Herod.); 2. σανίδ-ωμα n. `planking' (LXX, Thphr., Plb. etc.; Chantraine Form. 187); 3. - ώδης `plank-like' (late); 4. - όω `provided with planks', - ωτός (hell. a. late).Origin: XX [etym. unknown]Etymology: Formation like σελίς, δοκίς a. other technical words (Chantraine Form. 337); further unexplained. The formally obcious connection with σαίνω (Solmsen IF 30, 46 f.) depends of a s. v. rejected explanation of σαίνω. A thinkable but quite hypothetic basis *tu̯-n̥-id- [would have to be *tu̯n̥H-id-] might make connection with the family of τύλη, τύλος (s. v.) possible. -- Older proposals in Bq and WP. 1, 709 (rejected).Page in Frisk: 2,676Greek-English etymological dictionary (Ελληνικά-Αγγλικά ετυμολογική λεξικό) > σανίς

116 σβέννυμι
Grammatical information: v.Meaning: `quench, to extinguish, to be extinguished, extinct (IA.).Other forms: - ύω (Pi., Hp. a. o.), aor. σβέσ(σ)αι (Il.), pass. σβεσθῆναι (IA.), fut. σβέσω (A., E. a. o.); midd. σβέννυμαι (Hes.), aor. σβῆναι (Il.), fut. σβήσομαι (Pl. a. o.), perf. ἔσβηκα (A.), ἔσβεσμαι (Parm. a.o.).Compounds: Also w. prefix, esp. ἀπο- and κατα- (on the use in Hom. Graz Le feu dans l'Il. et l'Od.259ff.).Derivatives: σβέ-σις ( ἀπό-, κατά- σβέννυμι) f. `extinction, putting out' (Arist. etc.), σβεσ-τήρ, - τῆρος m. `extinguisher' (Plu.; not quite certain), - τήριος `useful for extinguishing' (Th. etc.), - τικός `id.' (Arist. etc.); ἄ-σβεσ-τος `unextinguishable' (Hom. a.o.; σβεστός Nonn.), f. (sc. τίτανος) `unslaked lime' (Dsc., Plu. a. o.) with ἀσβεστ-ήριοι and - ωσις H. as explanation of κονιαταί resp. κονίασις. -- Deviating the aor. κατα-σβῶσαι (Herod.). -- Besides some H.glossen: ζείναμεν (- υμεν?) σβέννυμεν, ἐζίνα (for - είν-) ἐπεσβέννυεν, ἀποζίννυται (cod. - ξ-; for - ζείν-) ἀποσβέννυται; ζόασον σβέσον; ζοάσ\< εις\> σ[ε]βέσεις.Etymology: The above formal system is as a whole built on the root σβεσ- in σβέσ-σαι and ἄ-σβεσ-τος. To the aorist σβέσ(σ)αι joined σβέννυμι from *σβέσ-νυ-μι (on the phonetics Schwyzer 697), σβέσω, σβεσθῆναι, ἔσβεσμαι. To this came as innovation ἔσβην, σβῆναι (after ἔστην, ἐκάην, ἐάγην etc.), to which came σβήσομαι, ἔσβηκα. On itself stands κατα-σβῶσαι, which may have an old lengthened grade (cf. below), but which can also with ζόασον, ζοάσεις (s. ab.) be understood as an iterativ (from *σβοῆσαι) of uncertain date. Cf. (with partly diff. view) Schwyzer 719 and 743 w. n. 1. From the byforms with ζ-, ζείναμεν etc., one can conclude for σβέσ(σ)αι, σβέννυμι to an IE * sgʷes-, which cannot be separated from other verbs for `extinguish': Lith. gęs-tù, gès-ti `extinguish, die out', caus. ges-aũ, -ýti `extinguish', Slav., e.g. OCS u-gašǫ, u-gasiti `extinguish' (IE * gʷōs-; also in - σβῶσαι?; s. ab.), Toch. AB käs- `extinguish'; prob. also Skt. jásate `is extinguished', jāsayati `exhaust'. Hitt. kišt-'be extinguished, perish' (e.g. 3. sg. kištari) is however incompatable with the labiovelar in σβέννυμι. If we posit a pure velar g, which is possible for all other languages, σβέννυμαι must be separated. -- Through the initial σ- Greek is distinguished from its cognates. Prob. it concerns a prefix (after Prellwitz s. v. a mutilated ἐξ-). Diff. Brugmann (e.g. Grundr.2 I 590) and Schwyzer 743 n. 1 (to be rejected). -- Further forms from the diff. languages with uncertain hypotheses and older lit. in Bq and WP. 1, 693f.

117 σπίδιος
Grammatical information: adj.Meaning: `extensive, wide' ( σπίδιον μῆκος ὁδοῦ A. Fr. 378 = 733 M.), σπιδόθεν = μακρόθεν (Antim. 77); σπιδνόν πυκνόν, συνεχές, πεπηγός; σπιδόεν μέλαν, πλατύ, σκοτεινόν, πυκνόν, μέγα H.Derivatives: Cf. further σπιδέος gen. sg. (Λ 753) beside v. l. ἀσπιδέος; if correct, prob. from *σπιδύς (s. ἀσπιδής); s. also ἑλεσπίδας and 1. ἀσπίς. Verb σπίζω = ἐκτείνω (Sch. Ar. V. 18, Eust.).Origin: XX [etym. unknown]Etymology: Obsolete wortgroup, which seems only to have lived on in the learned and higher poetic language and about the meaning of which one was no longer certain (cf. the explanation of σπιδόεν). -- As basis functions partly a noun *σπίδος ( σπιδό-θεν, - εν), partly a primary σπιδ- ( σπίζω, σπιδνόν); for σπίδ-ιος, *-ύς both are possible. One may compare first Lat. spissus (\< * spid-tos or * spit-tos) `extended, esp. in time, slow, prolonged', also `close, dense, thick' (= σπιδνόν); on the development of the meaning Persson Beitr. 1, 386ff. with extensive treatment. Here also a richly developed Baltic family, e.g. Lith. spintù, spìsti (\< * spit-ti) `begin to swarm (of bees), gather' (ptc. spìstas = Lat. spissus?), s. Fraenkel s. spiẽsti w. further forms a. lit. -- If one adduces also σπιθαμη [for which I see no ground], we get a threefold variation σπιδ-: σπιθ-: Lith. (Lat.?) spit-.

118 Εἰραφιώτης
Εἰραφιώτης, -ουGrammatical information: m.Other forms: Έρραφεώτης (Alk. 90)Derivatives: Month name Εἰραφιών (Amorgos IIIa).Origin: PG [a word of Pre-Greek origin]Etymology: Formation in - ιώτης (Chantr. Form. 311) from *εἴραφος, *εἰράφιον; cf. ἔλαφος, - ιον and other animals names; so perhaps from the animals shape of the god. As Dionysos mostly appears as bull, one thinks of Skt. r̥ṣabhá- `bull', with - bha- derived from ἄρσην `male' (cf. Av. OP. aršan- `id.'). From a form like ἔρσην (s.v.) with loss of the σ and lengthening as in Lac. εἰρήν `youngster' (s. v.; explanation uncertain), κεῖραι etc. (on the phonetics Lejeune Traité de phonetique 107f.). Connection with ἔριφος `young he-goat' (s. v.; Wilamowitz Glaube 2, 67 n. 1) is possible but phonetically difficult. - Ditt. Bechtel Dial. 1, 128f.: to εἶρος, *εἰράφιον `flock'; against Solmsen IF 7, 47 n. 1. - See Fraenkel Nom. ag. 2, 208 n. 2, and Redard Les noms grecs en - της 9 and 13.
