13 ὁμοκλή
Grammatical information: f.Meaning: `loud (threatening, scolding) acclamation, command' (Hom., Hes. Sc.; also Emp. [- έων], Pi. [- αῖς], A. Fr. 57,5 = 71,5 [άν]); `attack, onset' (hell.; false duced from Π 147?).Other forms: (ὀ-?, s.below).Derivatives: Besides, prob. as denominative, the more usual ὁμοκλ-άω, - έω (ὀ-) in ipf. 3. sg. ὁμόκλα (Σ 156, Ω 248), 3 pl. ὁμόκλ-εον, 1 pl. - έομεν (Ο 658 a.o., ω 173), aor. ὁμοκλῆσαι (Hom., S. El. 712), iter. ipf. ὁμοκλήσασκε (Β 199) `to shout (threateningly), to call, to exhort, to warn'; from there ὁμοκλη-τήρ, - ῆρος m. `shouter, warner' (Μ 273, Ψ 452), f. - τειρα (Lyc. 1337).Origin: XX [etym. unknown]Etymology: As the elided ὑπ' ὀμοκλῆς (e.g. Hes. Sc. 341), κέκλετ' ὀμοκλήσας (v. l. Υ 365) point to orig. lenis (Wackernagel Unt. 47 A. 1), one doubted clearly already in antiquity the hard to understand connection with ὁμός etc. In ὀμο- Jacobsohn Phil. 67, 509ff., KZ 42, 160 n. 1, Χάριτες F. Leo (1911) 443 f. wanted to find a counterpart of Skt. áma- m. `violence, pressure, turbulence', Av. ama- m. `power (to attack), strength'; so ὀμο-κλή prop. as determinative comp. "(attack)-, cry" (?). The 2. member, in any case to καλέω, can be a root-noun (Brugmann Grundr.2 II: 1,140, Risch $ 72b); but it can also be explained as an ā-abstract ὀμο-κλ-ά̄ (: *ὀμο-κλ-ός like νεο-γν-ός; cf. on μεσόδμη) (Fraenkel Nom. ag. 1, 8 n. 2 with Jacobsohn l.c.), in which case the laryngeal must have been lost. For the latter interpretation pleads ὁμοκλάν in A. (s. above), as Greek as monosyll. zero grade only knows κλη- (s. on καλέω); an artificial Dorism (Jacobsohn as alternative) is however not excluded. -- On the variation - άω: - έω in the verb, which can be phonetic, s.

14 ὄνειδος
Grammatical information: n.Meaning: `reproach, rebuke, abuse, disgrace' (Il.).Derivatives: ὀνειδείη f. `id.' (Nic.; cf. on ἐλεγχείη s. ἐλέγχω), ὀνείδειος `baling, scolding' (Hom., AP), ὀνειδείω `to blame' (Thebaïs Fr. 3; \< -εσ-ι̯ω); mostly ὀνειδίζω, also with prefix as ἐξ-, προσ-, `to make reproaches, to abuse, to scold' with several derivv.: ὀνείδ-ισμα n. `reproach, abuse' (Hdt.), - ισμός ( ἐξ-) m. `id.' (D.H., J.), - ιστήρ (E., κατ- ὄνειδος Man.), - ιστής (Arist.) `railer' (Fraenkel Nom. ag. 2, 14 a. 18), ( ἐξ-)ονειδιστικός `abusive' (hell.); on itself ἐπ-ονείδ-ιστος `deserving a reproach, blameworthy' (Att.), prob. for *ἐπ-ονειδής after the many verbal adj. in - ιστος.Etymology: Old, in Grek isolated verbal noun without exact non-Greek agreement. The basic primary verb, which in Greek was replaced by the denomin. ὀνειδίζω, is in other languages often retained: Skt. nid-āná- `reproached', athem. aor. ptc., beside which the passive formation nid-yá-māna- `id.' and the nasal present ní-n-d-ati (cf. on ὄνομαι); Av. nāis-mī \< * nāid-s-mi `I reproach', lengthened grade athem. pres. with s-enlargement (if not analogical after forms like ipf. nāis-t \< * nāid-t, 2. pl. nis-ta \< * nid-ta); Balt. e.g. Latv. nîdu, inf. nîdêt, nîst `squint at, not tolerate, hate'. Further fom German. the deverbal or denominative secondary formation in Goth. ga-naitjan `revile'. Especially interesting for Greek is because of the vowelprothesis Arm. anicanem, aor. anici \< * o-neid-s- (on Arm. a- \< o- cf. on ὄναρ, on -s- Meillet MSL 20, 211). -- Further forms with lit. and uncontrollable root analysis in WP. 2, 322f., Pok. 760, Feist Vgl.
