127 κνυζόω
Grammatical information: v.Meaning: only κνυζώσω (ν 401), κνύζωσεν (ν 433), of the eyes of Odysseus, that, while earlier περικαλλέα ἐόντα, were made dim and dark by Athena.Etymology: The basis seems preserved in κνυζοί οἱ τὰ ὄμματα πονοῦντες, κνυζόν ἀέρα ἐπινέφελον καὶ πνευματώδη H. (unclear Anacr. 87); cf. Büchner Herm. 75, 156 n. 1. Connection with κνύζα `scratch', κνύω is quite probable; the correspondence with κνυζάομαι is therefore prob. accidental. A remarkable parallel gives Lith. kniáuktis `get cloudy, cover oneself (of heaven), take a somber aspect' beside kniaũkti `miaow'; comparable niaũras `cloudy, somber, troubled', also `grumbling, nasalizing', niauróti `growl, of bears'. The word can be of independent (onomatopoetic or other) origin or show semantic analogy, can hsrdly be decided. Cf. Fraenkel Lit. et. Wb. s. kniáuka and niauróti. - Diff. on κνυζός, - όω (to ken- `press together'), certainly not better, WP. 1, 391, Pok. 559.Page in Frisk: 1,887Greek-English etymological dictionary (Ελληνικά-Αγγλικά ετυμολογική λεξικό) > κνυζόω
