1 ἐμπολή
Grammatical information: f.Meaning: `trade, trade-goods, purchase, profit' (Pi., Att.).Other forms: Arc. ἰνπολα, IVaCompounds: Comp. ἀπεμπολή s. below. Note ἐμπέλωρος ἀγορανόμος H. (prob. for ἐμπολ-; diff. Chantraine, s. v.). - ἐμπολαῖος `belonging to trade', surname of Hermes (Ar.), ἐμπολεύς `buyer' (AP; cf. Boßhardt Die Nomina auf - ευς 74). Denomin. verb ἐμπολάω -άομαι, impf. ἠμπόλων, aor. ἠμπόλησα ( ἐνεπόλησα Is.), ἠμπολήθην, perf. ἠμπόληκα ( ἐμπεπόληκα Luc.), ἠμπόλημαι `trade, buy, sell, win' (Od.). Also with prefix: ἀπ-, δι-, ἐξ-, παρ-, προσ-.Derivatives: ἐμπόλημα `goods, profit' (S.), ( ἀπ-)ἐμπόλησις (Hp., Poll.), ἀπεμπολητής `seller' (Lyc.); postverbal ἀπεμπολήν ἀπαλλαγήν, πρᾶσιν, ἐμπορίαν H.Etymology: Also ( ἐξ-)ἐμπολέω `id.' (Herod., J.). Cf. ἐντολή, ἐντομή etc. and so based on a verb *ἐμπέλω, - ομαι. One compares the iterative (with lengthened grade) πωλέω `sell'. ἐμπολάω is a denomin, as appears from the augmented and reduplicated forms. - Connection with πέλομαι, -ω `turn, move' is semantically possible; ἐμπολή would then be `traffic'. IE has an old word for `sell, earn etc.', in several nominal derivv., e. g. Skt. paṇa- m. `salary' (with paṇate `trade, buy'), Lith. pel̃nas `wages, salary', OHG fāli, OWNo. falr `sal(e)able'; one connects πωλέω separating ἐμπολή. See Schwyzer 720 n. 8. See on ἐμπολή, ἐμπολάω Chantraine, Rev. de phil. 66, 11ff. with diff. suggestions ( πελάζω, πέλας etc.). - De Lamberterie argues for connection with * kʷel- and πωλέομαι, RPh 2, 1997, 159 and 172.Page in Frisk: 1,507-508Greek-English etymological dictionary (Ελληνικά-Αγγλικά ετυμολογική λεξικό) > ἐμπολή

2 πωλέω
Grammatical information: v.Meaning: `to offer for sale, to sell' (IA.).Derivatives: 1. Nom. actionis: πώλ-ησις f. `sale (X. a.o.),- ημα n. `sale, sold merchandise' (inscr. Tauro- menion a.o.); backformation -ή, Dor. -ά f. `sale' (Sophr., Hyp. fr.). 2. Nom. agentis: πωλ-ητής m. `seller', des. of a financial official (Att. etc.), also - ητήρ m. `id.' (Delph. IVa a.o.), f. - ήτρια `seller' (Poll.), λαχανο- πωλέω (Ar.) a.o.; - πώλης m., - πωλις f. unlimited productive in compounds, e.g. ἀλλαντο-πώλης `sausage-seller' with ἀλλαντο-πωλ-έω etc., ἀρτό-πωλις `bread-seller, baker' (Ar. a.o.), cf. Fraenkel Nom. ag. 2, 26 a. 109 w. n. 3, Schwyzer 451; from this as momentary formation the simplex πώλης (Ar.). 3. Nom. loci - ητήριον `selling-booth' (X. a.o.). 4. Adj. - ητικός `belonging to sale' (Pl.; Chantraine Études 134), - ιμος `for sale' (hell. pap.).Etymology: Acc. to its formation πωλέω must be an iterative-intensive deverbative, though neither in Greek nor in the related languages a corresponding primary verb can be shown with certainty. However Skt. páṇate `purchase, buy' can represent an old nasalpresent in MInd. form IE *pl̥-nā-ti). With this n-present is clearly related (except Skt. paṇa- n. `bet, stake, wages') a Balto-Slav. noun: Lith. pel̃nas `gain, profit, merit', Slav., e.g. OCS plěnъ ' λάφυρον', Russ. polón `captivity, booty'; IE * pel-no-s. From Germ. come two isolated adj.: OWNo. falr `vendible' (IE * polo-s), OHG fāli `id.' (IE *pēli̯o-s; formation like OWNo. ǣtr = Skt. ādyàs `eatable' \< IE *ēdi̯o-s); besides OHG feili, NHG feil with unexplained vocalism. Further details w. lit. in Mayrhofer s. páṇate, Fraenkel s. pel̃nas, Vasmer s. polón; older lit. in Bq and WP. 2, 51 (Pok. 804). -- Semant. πωλέω is close to ἐμπολή `trade(ware), purchase, gain' (s.v.), which is usu. connected with πέλομαι prop. *'turn (oneself)'; for πωλέω to πέλομαι Schwyzer 720. With this combination one should abandon the words mentioned above from IE * pel-. -- Cf. the lit. on πέρνημι.Page in Frisk: 2,633Greek-English etymological dictionary (Ελληνικά-Αγγλικά ετυμολογική λεξικό) > πωλέω

These compp. justify also the furher connexion with Indo-Iran. verbs like Skt. ā-sad- `tread on, go on', Av. apa-had- `go away, become weak', so also with the verb for `sit, sit down' in ἕζομαι a.o.
