Origin: IE [Indo-European] [1013f] * (s)teg- `cover, roof'.

Etymology: With the primary themat. root present στέγω, beside which appear only late incidental non-present forms (for these στεγ-άσαι etc.), agrees Skt. sthagati `cover, conceal', which is however attested only in gramm. (Dhatup.) and by the unpalatalised g makes the impression of an innovation (beside sthagayati); cf. also below). Beside this stands in Latin the s-less tegō, aor. tēxī `cover etc.' (old athemat. presenf? Ernout-Meillet s.v.). Also for τέγος there is outside Greek an agreement, i. e. in. Celt., e.g. OIr. tech `house', IE *tégos- n. The well adapted στέγη might also, though in this form isolated, be inherited from IE. (original root noun ? Ernout-Meillet l. c.). Further the Greek forms can be explained as newly created derivations of a very lively root. We may still mention (for Greek unimportant): Lat. (with old lenghtened grade resp o-ablaut) tēgula, toga; to this as innovation tēctum (Gr. *στεκτός ghostword!); Germ., e.g. OHG dah n. `roof' (IE * togo-m), to which (as denominative or iterative) decchen ' decken'; Balt., e.g. Lith. stógas m. `roof' (IE * stogo-with Kortlandt's law). Further forms w. lit. in Bq, WP. 2, 620f., Pok. 1013f., W.-Hofmann and Ernout-Meillet s. tegō; also Fraenkel s. stíegti o n supp. Lith. *stė́gti. For non-IE. origin of Skt. sthagayati Kuiper Sprachgesch. u. Wortbed. 249. -- Lat. LW [loanword] stega `cover' (from στέγη), segestre, - rum, tegestrum `cover from skin' (from στέγαστρον).

Origin: IE [Indo-European] [853] * h₁rebh- `cover, roof'

Etymology: The only agreements are the 2. member in OHG hirni-reba `skull' (prop. "brain-cover"), and the Germanic word for `rib' (as "roof of the breast"?) OHG rippa, rippi, OE ribb, OWNo. rif n., IE *h₁rebh-i̯o-, and also Russ. etc. rebró `id.' - Schrader KZ 30, 469f.; see Vasmer Russ. et. Wb. s. v. - Diff.

Origin: IE [Indo-European] [916] * skeh₁ieh₂, gen. skh₁ieh₂-s `shadow'

Etymology: Old word for `shadow', which with Alb. hije, Toch. B skiyo `id.' can be identified as IE *sḱii̯ā (Jokl Untersuchungen 63ff. with Meyer, cf. Mann Lang. 28, 39; v. Windekens Orbis 12, 193 with Couvreur Arch. Or. 18, 128). Besides in Indo-Iran. with lengthened grade Skt. chāyā́ f. `shadow', also `image, reflex, semblance', NPers. sāya `shadow' (Av. a-saya- `who throws no shadow': ἄ-σκιος) and with unclear basis Latv. sejs `id.' (Endzelin Zeitschr. slav. Phil. 16, 113f.). The word was orig. inflected with ablaut, approx. * skeh₁ieh₂, gen. * skh₁ieh₂-s (cf. on γλῶσσα). The assumption of IE ā[i]: i was based only on the connection with σκηνή, Dor. σκᾱνά̄ `tent', which is however improbable. -- An n-suffix is seen in Slavic, e.g. OCS sěnь, Russ. sénь f. `shadow' with uncertain vowel (IE ē, oi, ai, ǝi), thus after Jokl a. o. in the very complicated Alban. forms, e.g. hē, (h)ona; to this with r-n-change σκιερός, σκιαρός (Benveniste Origines 14). See Adams Dict. Toch B 706 s.v. skiyo. With t-suffix OIr. scāth `shadow' (after Vendryes Ét. celt. 7, 438 with Fick); diff. s. σκότος. -- Whether the hapaxes σκαιός `shadowy' (Nic. Th. 660) and σκοιός in H. ( σκοιά σκοτεινά, σκοιόν... σύσκιον) can be considered as representatives of a in Greek still existing ablaut (Solmsen Unt. 278 n. 2 [p. 279f.]), is uncertain. -- Mayrhofer EWAia 1, 559 recontructs * skeh₁-ieh₂-, from which the Skt. form can be explained. Lubotsky however, Incontri lingu. 24 (2001), 34f. is not certains about the evidence for h₁, and starts from the oblique cases * skH-ieh₂-, which became *skHii̯- with Sievers, and * skiH-eh₂- with metathesis; this may have been the basis of the Greek form.

Grammatical information: v.

Meaning: `fence in, shut out' (on the meaning Brunel Aspect verbal 27f., 122).

Other forms: ( εἵργω), εἴργνυμι, ep. ἐέργω, ἐέργνυμι, ep. ion. ἔργω, ἔργνυμι, aor. 1. εἶρξαι ( εἷρ-, ἔρ-, ἕρ-), aor. 2. κατ-ΕϜοργον (Cypr.), pass. εἰρχθῆναι ( εἱρ- etc.), fut. εἴρξω ( εἵρξω, Heracl. ἀφ-, ἐφ-έρξοντι, συν-hέρξοντι), perf. med. εἶργμαι, ἔεργμαι ( ἔργμαι), ep. 3. plur. ἔρχαται, - ατο with the lengthening ἐρχατόωντο ξ 15 (s. Leumann Hom. Wörter179ff.), lengthened pret. εἰργαθεῖν (- άθειν?; Schwyzer 703 m. n. 6)

Compounds: Often with prefix: ἀπ(ο)-, ἀφ-, δι-, εἰσ-, ἐφ-, ἐξ-, κατ- ( καθ-), συν- a. o.

Derivatives: εἱρκτή ( ἐρ-), often plur. `inclosure, prison, women's appartments' (Ion.-Att.); εἱργμός `prison' (Pl.); ( σύν-, κάθ-, ἔξ-)εἷρξις `shutting in etc.' (Pl.) with - ειρκτικός; ἄφ-ερκτος `shut out' (A. Ch. 446 [lyr.]).

Origin: IE [Indo-European] [1154] *h₁u̯erg- `shut in, press'

Etymology: Except the zero grade thematic aorist Cypr. κατ-ÉϜοργον (- έ- or - ή-, Schwyzer 653 β) all forms, including the nouns, go back on full grade ἐ-(Ϝ)έργω, εἴργω; the aspiration in εἷρξαι, ἕρξω, εἵργω etc. acc. to Sommer Lautstud. 127f. arose before voiceless ρ in ἑρκτ-, ἑρξ- (?). Details in Solmsen Unt. 221ff. - Nothing comparable in the other languages. Cognates perh. in opt. Av. vǝrǝz-yąn `they should shut out' and in Lith. veržiù, ver̃žti `narrow in, string, press' (Fraenkel KZ 72, 193ff.). Semantically unclear some Indo-Iranian nouns: Skt. vr̥jána- n. `fencing in' = Av. vǝrǝzǝ̄na-, varǝzāna- `community', OP. vardana- `town' (from where as a loan Skt. vardhana- `id.', Wackernagel-Debrunner KZ 67, 168; wrong Hall Lang. 12, 297ff.), Skt. vrajá- m. `fence'; unclear also an Irish word for `wall etc.', OIr. fraig, NIr. fraigh `wall of wickerwork, roof, fence'.

II Syrian name of a plant, = κροκοδιλιάς, Aët.11.2.

Grammatical information: m.

Meaning: `corner of the eye' (Arist., Nic., Gal.); poet. `eye' (hell.); acc. to H. also `opening in the roof for the smoke, Rauchfang, καπνοδόκη' and `pot, kettle, χυτρόπους' (the last Sicilian).

Derivatives: From here the hypostasis ἐγκάνθιος `which is in the κανθός' (Dsc., Gal.) with ἐγκανθίς f. `tumour in the inner angle of the eye' (Cels., Gal.), acc. to Poll. 2, 71 = `inner corner of the eye'; also ἐπικανθίς `id.' (Hippiatr., v. l. in Poll. l. c.). Deriv. κανθώδης `rounded' (Call. Fr. 504 coni. Hemsterhuys; codd. καθν-, κυκν-).

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

Etymology: Not well explained. From κανθώδης in Callimachos to conclude to a original meaning `curve\/-ing' is not allowed. - One compares Celtic words, e. g. Welsh cant `iron band, brim', Gall. (Gallo-Rom.) * cantos, and a Panslavic word for `corner, angle (of a farm) etc.', e. g. Russ. kut, all from IE. * kan-tho- from a root IE. kam- in καμάρα, κάμπτω, but this root is not given in Pok. and κάμπτω (s.v.) is Pre-Greek. Thee comparison is not without poblems, first because Gr. - θ- remains unexplained, second because the Slavic words are suspected to come from the west (s. below). From Celtic comes Lat. cantus `iron band (of a wagon wheel)', from where the Romanic words for `brim, corner etc.' (Fr. chant etc.) and Germanic, NHG Kante, which are irrelevan here. - Speculative Belardi Rend. Acc. Lincei 8: 9, 610ff. (also Doxa 3, 209); his material must be sifted. - Cf. Pok. 526f.), W.-Hofmann s. cantus, Vasmer Russ. et. Wb. s. kut. - So there is no IE etymology; and an IE pre-form is impossible (*kh₂n̥dh- would hace given *καθ-). So the word is Pre-Greek.

Origin: IE [Indo-European] [1029] * sterh₃- `spread out'

Etymology: The original triad στόρ-νυμι: στορέ-σαι: στρω-τός, ἔ-στρω-μαι is partly leveled through innovations: στρώννυμι (after ζών-νυ-μι for ζωσ-), στρῶσαι after στρωτός, ἔστρωμαι; στορέννυμι after στορέσαι. As in κορέσαι, κορέννυμι, ὀλέσαι, ὄλλυμι a.o. the ο-vowel makes difficulties and has aroused a lively discussion (s. lit. s. vv.). With στόρνυμι (for *στάρνυμι?) agrees further formally Skt. str̥ṇóti `stretch down, throw down'; because of Germ., e.g. Goth. straujan, NHG streuen we can posit an IE * streu- with n-infix. Other nasal presents are Skt. str̥ṇā́ti `id.', Lat. sternō = OIr. sernim `spread out', Alb. shtrinj `id.' (IE *str̥ni̯ō). On semantic differentiation Narten Münch. Stud. 22, 57 ff., Sprache 14, 131 f. To the zero grade στρωτός answers Lat. strātus, Lith. stìrta f. `heap of hay, piled up heap, dry scaffolding' and Skt.stīrṇá- `spread out'. Disyllabic the full grade στορέ-σαι like Skt. a-starī-ṣ (2. sg.; midd. 3. sg. a-stari-ṣṭa, inf. stari-tavai; one expects * sterh₃- which would give στερο-, which has been metathesized to στορε-, but we don't know how or why; cf Schwyzer 752). Also στρῶμα has an exact counterpart, i.e. in Lat. strāmen, strāmentum `straw' (beside Skt. stárĩ-man- n. `expansion'; cf. Schwyzer 520 w. n. 5). Also agree στόρνη = ζώνη and Slav., e.g. Russ. storoná `region, side', both prob. as innovations. The isolated στορεύς (from *στόρος, -ά or innovation to στορ-έσαι, - νυμι?) represents also the same vowel grade as Russ. pro-tór m. `room, greatness' and Skt. pra-stará- m. `straw, cushion, flatness'. Further forms w. lit. in Bq, WP. 2, 638ff., Pok. 1029ff., W.-Hofmann s. sternō, Fraenkel s. stìrta, Vasmer s. prosterétь and storoná. On the stemformation esp. Strunk Nasalpräs. u. Aor. (1967) 113 f. Cf. still στέρνον and στρατός.

α. to show how someth. is to be understood is a representation of, is the equivalent of; εἰμί here, too, serves as copula; we usually translate mean, so in the formula τοῦτʼ ἔστιν this or that means, that is to say (Epict., Ench. 33, 10; Arrian, Tact. 29, 3; SIG 880, 50; PFlor 157, 4; PSI 298, 9; PMert 91, 9; Jos., C.

After verbs of asking, recognizing, knowing and not knowing (Antiphanes Com. 231, 1f τὸ ζῆν τί ἐστι;) μάθετε τί ἐστιν learn what (this) means Mt 9:13. εἰ ἐγνώκειτε τί ἐστιν 12:7; cp.

ⓑ w. pres. ptc. (B-D-F §353).

α. to express the pres. ἐστὶν προσαναπληροῦσα τὰ ὑστερήματα supplies the wants 2 Cor 9:12 (Just., A I, 26, 5 Μαρκίων … καὶ νῦν ἔτι ἐστὶ διδάσκων; Mel., P. 61, 441 ἐστὶν … κηρυσσόμενον).
