3 νάσσω
Grammatical information: v.Meaning: `stamp down, squeeze close, press together, stuff' (φ 122).Derivatives: Verbaladj. ναστός `pressed together, stuffed full' (medic., J.), substant. (sc. πλακοῦς) m. name of a cake (com.) with ναστίσκος m. (Pherecr.); also νακτός `pressed together' (Plu.); νακτά τοὺς πίλους καὶ τὰ ἐμπίλια H. -- Verbal subst. νάγμα n. `closely sqeezed stone-wall' (J.). From the attestations it is not clear, whether the verbal stem orig. ended in a velar ( νάξαι φ 122) or a dental ( νασ-τός from *νατ-τός?); perh. best is, to take ναστός and νένασμαι as analogical (after παστός, πέπασμαι?).Origin: PG [a word of Pre-Greek origin]X [probably]Etymology: Etymology unknown; connection with νάκος `woollen skin' (s.v.) cannot be proven. Other combinations by Sommer Lautst. 57. -- Here as LW [loanword] Lat. naccae `fullones', perh. from *νάκται; further s. W.-Hofmann s.v. - The verb may well be Pre-Greek.Page in Frisk: 2, 291Greek-English etymological dictionary (Ελληνικά-Αγγλικά ετυμολογική λεξικό) > νάσσω

4 ῥάσσω
Grammatical information: v.Meaning: `to beat, to smash, to thrust, to stamp' (also of dancers), intr. `to strike, to dash' (hell.).Other forms: Att. ῥάττω, Ion. ῥήσσω (ep. Σ 571, ἐπι- ῥάσσω Ω 454, 456, h.Ap. 516, also LXX, NT), fut. ῥάξω, aor. ῥᾶξαι (Att., hell.), ῥαχθῆναι (LXX).Derivatives: 1. σύρ-, πρόσ-ραξις f. `crash, impact' (Arist., pap.), ἀπό- ῥάσσω n. of a ball-game (Poll., Eust.). 2. κατα-ρράκτης as adj. `rushing down, precipitous' (S., Str.), as subst. m. `waterfall' (D. S., Str.), `portcullis, boarding bridge' (LXX, App. a.o.), n. bird that sweeps down (Ar., Arist.), Κατα-ρρήκτης m. n. of a river in Phrygia (Hdt.); κατα-ρρακτήρ `rushing down' (Lyc.; of a bird). 3. ῥακτήριον ὄρχησίς τις, - τήρια τύμπανα H., ῥακτήριος approx. `suitable for beating', also `clamorous'? (S. Fr. 802 u. 699); ῥάκτριαι f. (- ια n.?) pl. `staffs, to beat off olives' (Poll., H., Phot.). On ῥάγ-δην, - δαῖος s. ῥαγή; on ῥαχία s.v.Origin: XX [etym. unknown]Etymology: Rather rare verb, which in the koine was confused with ῥήγνυμι. Without certain connection. As before the ῥ- a consonant must have disappeared, an original PGr. *Ϝρά̄χ-ι̯ω (cf. ῥαχ-ία) can be identified with a Slavic verb for `beat' (also with loss of u̯-), e.g. Russ. razítь, Czech. raziti, to which a.o. Czech. ráz `stroke, stamp', Russ. raz `turn', IE *u̯rāǵ(h)- (WP. 1, 318f. with Lidén Ein balt.-slav. Anlautges. 24 f.). The Slav. words, however, have also been connected with Russ. rézatь `cut, slaughter', OCS rězati ' κόπτειν' etc. and so with ῥήγνυμι (s. Vasmer s. raz II and Fraenkel s. rė́zti 1), which however clearly semant. slightly deviate. (As in Greek ῥήσσω and ῥήγνυμι, so in Slav. the corresponding verbs may have partly coalesced. -- The attractive connection with ἀράσσω (Bechtel Lex. s. ῥήσσω with Joh. Schmidt; cf. ταλα-: τλᾱ-, ταράξαι: θρά̄σσω) would require a PGr. *Ϝαράχ-ι̯ω; but there is no trace of a Ϝ-.
