Thompson Birds and W.-Hofmann s. v. -- For σπινθήρ cf. ἀστήρ, αἰθήρ; σπίνθραξ like ἄνθραξ; σπινθαρ-ίδες like ἐσχάρ-α a. o.; on σπινθάρυγ-ες cf. μαρμαρυγ-αί, also πομφόλυγ-ες.Origin: PG [a word of Pre-Greek origin](X)Etymology: The similarity with Lith. spindžiù, spindė́ti `gleam, beam' has long been observed (Zupitza KZ 36, 61, Bechtel BB 23, 250). As a concluded sequence * spindh- cannot be IE and Lith. spind- goes back on *spn̥d(h)- as appears from Latv. spuôdrs `white, gleaming' (from PBalt. * spandras), the ι-vowel in σπινθ- would have to be an innovation (cf. Schwyzer 350f.). On the attempt by Niedermann (IF 26, 58 f.), to connect Lat. scintilla with σπινθήρ from a Mediterranean * stinth-, s. lastly Pariente Emer. 20, 394ff. (rejecting). -- Further lit. with several details in WP. 2, 664, Fraenkel s. spindė́ti, W.-Hofmann s. scintilla and splendeō. - The word seems rather to be of Pre-Greek origin.Page in Frisk: 2,768Greek-English etymological dictionary (Ελληνικά-Αγγλικά ετυμολογική λεξικό) > σπινθήρ
