Grammatical information: f.Meaning: `shaft of an axe, hack, hammer etc.' (- ειή φ 422 and - εά Aen. Tact. `cavity for the shaft' after Bérard REGr. 68, 8f. and Pocock AmJPh 82, 346ff. with Eust., H. and EM).Other forms: - εή (A. R.), στειλειή (φ 422; v.l. Nic. Th. 387); - εόν (Aen. Tact., Babr.), στειλειόν (ε 236) n.; - εός and - ειός (Att. inscr.) m.; - εός or - εόν (hell. a. late); στειλεός (Hp. with vv. ll.), στειλειός (Aesop.), gen. - ειοῦ (Nic. Th. 387 as v. l.)Derivatives: στειλει-άριον (Eust.) and the denom. ptc. ἐστελεωμένος `provided with a shaft' (AP). -- Beside it στέλεχος n. (m.) `the end of the stem at the root of a tree, stump, log, stem, branch' (Pi., IA.; on the eaning Strömberg Theophrastea 95ff.). Some compp., e.g. πολυ-στελέχ-ης (Thphr.), - ος (AP) `with many stems' (cf. Strömberg 103 f.). From this στελέχ-ια πρέμ\<ν\>ια H., - ώδης `stem-like' (Thphr., Dsc.), - ιαῖος `serving as a stem' (Gal.), - ηδόν `according to the kind of stem' (A. R. 1, 1004 as v. l. for στοιχηδόν).Origin: PG [a word of Pre-Greek origin] (V)Etymology: On the formation: στελ-εά like δωρ-εά, γεν-εά, - εός, - εόν as κολ-εός, - εόν, θυρ-εός; στειλ-ειή as ἀρ-ειή, νευρ-ειή ( στειλ- metr. lengthening(?); cf. Schwyzer 469 n. 3 w. lit., Risch 120f., Chantraine Form. 51 a. 91. With στέλε-χος cf. τέμα-χος, σέλα-χος a.o. (Schwyzer 496, Chantraine 403). Both στελεά, - εός, - εόν and στέλεχος are based on an unknown, prob. nominal basis, perh. *στέλος n. (Schulze Q. 175), which fits unproblem. to Arm. steɫn, pl. steɫun-k` `stem, shaft, stalk, twig' and to Germ. words like OE stela m. `stalk of a plant', Norw. stjøl `stalk'; further s. στέλλω (with στόλος).

Il., also hell. a. late prose). 8. στέφανος m. `wreath, frame, wreath of victory or honour, honour' (since Ν 736) with several derivv.: - ιον, - ίσκος, - ίς, - ικός, - ιαῖος. - ίτης, - ιτικός, - ίζω, - ίξαι; esp. - όομαι, - όω, also w. περι- a.o., `to form a wreath, to wreathe, to crown, to decorate, to honour' (Il.), from where - ωμα, - ωματικός, - ωσις, - ωτής. - ωτίς and - ωτρίς (Fraenkel Nom. ag. 1, 164), - ωτικός.Origin: XX [etym. unknown]Etymology: As the basic meaning of στέφω, from which all other formations ar serived, clearly is `closely, fest surrounded, enclosed', there is no reason not to connect, Skt. stabhnā́ti, perf. tastámbha `make fest, hold fest, support, stiffen, stem', as already appears from πύκα `close, fest', πυκάζω `make fest, enclose narrowly', ἄμ-πυξ (and Av. pusā) `band of the forehead, diadem' [but see s.v.]. Of the many further representatives of this great and difficult to limit wordgroup may only still be mentioned Skt. stambha- m. `making fest, stem, support, post, pillar', Lith. stam̃bas `stump, stalk of a plant', Latv. stabs `pillar', Germ. e.g. OHG stabēn `be fixed, stiff' (Eastfris. staf `stiff, lame'), OWNo. stefja `stem', OHG stab, OWNo. stafr `staff'; IE * stebh-, stembh- (WP. 2, 623ff., Pok. 1011 ff.). -- As Skt. stambha- can also mean `bumptiousness, pretentious being', the question has arisen, whether also στόμφος `bombastic, highflown speech' belongs here; cf. on στέμβω. With stabhnā́ti etc. are often connected στέμβω [wrongly, s.v.], ἀστεμφής etc. assuming a meaning complex `press, stamp, stem, support, post etc.' (s. WP. and Pok. l. c.), a combination, which goes beyond what can be proven. -- Diff. on στέφω, στέφανος Lidén Streitberg-Festgabe 224ff.: to NPers. tāǰ `corona, diadema regium', Arm. t`ag `id.', ev. also to Osset. multiplicative suffix - daɣ (W. Oss. dudaɣ) with a basic meaning `wind, wrap, fold'; would be IE *( s)tegʷʰ-. == Frisk's discussion is completely dated. It is hampered by Pok. 1011, where (* stebh-. * stembh- and * step- are conbined; this is impossible in IE, so the grouping can best be completely dismissed (presence beside absence of a nasal is impossible, as is bh\/b\/p.) Skt. stabhná̄ti has a root * stembhH-\/*stm̥bhH-, which cannot give Gr. στεφ-, not στεμβ-. It might be found in ἀστεμφής. = σταφυλή and στέμφυλον are a Pre-Greek group and have nothing to do with IE. = The argumentation around ἄμπυξ (s.v.) can better be abandoned. = For στέφω one expects *stebh- (without nasal), but no such root has been found; the Geranic words for `staff (Stab)' have a quite diff. meaning. = So στέφω has no etym.Page in Frisk: 2,794-795Greek-English etymological dictionary (Ελληνικά-Αγγλικά ετυμολογική λεξικό) > στέφω

Grammatical information: f.Meaning: `crow', also `shearwater', `Corvus corone, cornix, frugilegus, Puffinus yelkuan' (Od.);Compounds: rarely in compp., e. g. κορωνο-βόλος `shooting crows', τρι-κόρωνος `have three times the age of a crow' (AP). - Often metaph. of all kinds of curved or hook-formed objects (cf. below): `tip of a bow' (Il.), `grip of a door' (Od., Poll.), `tip of the plough-pole' (A. R.), `back of a ship' (Arat.), `pathological tumour of the elbow etc.' (Hp.), `kind of crown' (Sophr. 163, H.).Derivatives: κορωνιδεύς m. `young crow' (Cratin. 179; Boßhardt Die Nom. auf - ευς 46); κορώνεως f. `tree with raven-black figs' (Ar. Pax 628; cf. on ἐρινεώς s. ἐρινεός). - κορωνίς f. `curbed, with tail', of ships (Hom.), of cattle (Theoc.), as subst. `crown' (Stesich.), `curved line, ornament' at the end of a book etc., as orthographic sign, metaph. `end' (hell.); also m. κορωνός `curbed etc.' (Archil., Hp., EM), also PN Κόρωνος (Β 746; Sommer Nominalkomp. 122), n. κορωνόν `knob of bone(s)', τὰ κόρωνα `elbow' (medic.); κορώνιος μηνοειδῆ ἔχων κέρατα βοῦς H., also monthsname (Knossos), κορώνιον n. `Krähenkraut(=?)'

"crow-songs", i. e. `begging singer', `-songs' (Ath.). - See on κορώνη Thompson Birds s. v.Origin: IE [Indo-European] [567] *ker-\/kor-v\/n- `crow'Etymology: The Italic words for `crow', Lat. corn-īx, Umbr. curn-aco `cornicem', make also for κορών-η an old n-stem * koron-, * korn- probable (also in κόραξ and κόραφος? (diff. Brugmann Grundr.2 2: 1, 280; s. also Schwyzer 491); an u-stem alternating with this n-stem is seen in Lat. corvus, MIr. crū `raven'. The words are all based on an onomatop. (diff. Specht Ursprung 118: orig. colour word). - Generally κορώνη is as name for curbed abjects beside κορωνίς, κορωνός separated from κορώνη `crow' and connected with κυρτός (s. v.). Against a separation in two diff. words speaks the remarkable formation of the Greek word. The metaphorical use of κορώνη `crow' has nothing remarkable ( κόραξ, Lat. corvus, Fr. corbeau, NEngl. crow, Swed. kråka etc.). Both the beak and the feet of the bird may have caused the metaphors. - From here Lat. corōna, corōnis with westeuropean derivv. - Cf. on κόραξ.Page in Frisk: 1,927-928Greek-English etymological dictionary (Ελληνικά-Αγγλικά ετυμολογική λεξικό) > κορώνη

Since Fick 1, 83 a. 482 identified with Skt. pínākam n. `staff, stick', Slav., e.g. CSl. pьnь, Russ. penь m. `tree-stump, bobbin, stem'; on the meaning cf. Lat. caudex (-o-) `tree-trunk, bobbin, wooden table, book'. The suffixal agreement between Greek and Skt. (except for the quantity) is hardly old. -- WP. 2, 71, Pok. 830, Vasmer s.v.; by Mayrhofer s.v. with reserve recommended. -- Without any doubt a Pre-Greek word; - ακ- is very frequent in Pre-Greek (but not in Furnée!).Page in Frisk: 2,539Greek-English etymological dictionary (Ελληνικά-Αγγλικά ετυμολογική λεξικό) > πίναξ

16 θύω 2
θύω 2.Grammatical information: v.Derivatives: Derivations partly show the older meaning `smoke, incense' (s. below): 1. θῦμα `offer' (IA etc.); 2. ἔκ-, πρό-θυσις from ἐκ-, προ-θύω (late); 3. θυσία s. below on θύτης; 4. θύος n. with θυέστης a. o. `incense', s. v.; 5. θύον `life-tree', s. v.; 6. θυητά n. pl. `incense' (Aret.; on the formation cf. θυηλη s.v.); 7. θυ(ε)ία f. `strong smelling ceder, thuya' with θυῖον n. `resin' (Thphr.); formation unclear; to θύος (s. v.)? 8. θύτης m. `offerer' (hell.; ἐκ-θύτης from ἐκ-θύω E.); θύτας (Thess.), with θυτεῖον `offerplace' (Aeschin.), θυτικός `belonging to an offer' (hell., directly from θύω), θυσία `offer, offerfeast' (h. Cer.; cf. Fraenkel Nom. ag. 1, 224, Porzig Satzinhalte 200); from there θυσιάζω `offer' with θυσίασμα, - αστήριος, - ον; 9. θυτήρ m. `id.' (trag.) with θυτήριον `sacrificial animal' (E.), also `altar', name of the constellation Ara (Arat.; Scherer Gestirnnamen 192); 10. θύστας ὁ ἱερεὺς παρὰ Κρησί H., f. θυστάς, - άδος `belonging to the sacrifice' (A., S.; Fraenkel Nom. ag. 1, 182; 2, 37, E. Kretschmer Glotta 18, 85); 11. θύστρα n. = θύματα (Kos); 12. θυ\<σ\> τηρίοις θυμιατηρίοις H.; 13. θυσμικός `regarding the sacrifice' ( ἔτος; Paros, Tenos); the - σ- in the last words hardly with Schulze Q. 320 n. 1 and Fraenkel l. c. from the σ-stem in θύος, but rather with Solmsen KZ 29, 114 analogical [to what?] (cf. μύστης a. o.). - With λ-, resp. μ-suffix in θυηλη, θυμός, θύμον, [not in θυμάλωψ], s. vv.; with μελ-suffix (Frisk Eranos 41, 51) θῠμέλη `hearth, altar' (trag.; not with Aly Glotta 5, 60ff. prop. "practice-ground" from 1. θύω `storm') with θυμελικός.Origin: XX [etym. unknown]Etymology: The regular stemformation of θύω will be the resultof inner-Greek adjustment. The original paradigma can no longer be reconstructed. As the nearest parallel is given Lat. suf-fiō, - īre `incense', explained from *-dhu̯-ii̯ō, which is of course very far away. - It is often supposed that 1. θύω and 2. θύω were originally identical, but this is far from clear; one assumes a development like `stieben, stäuben, wirbeln, stürmen, rauchen' v. t., but this can well be wrong. The different languages show a mass of formations and meanings which can no longer be interpreted, see Pok. 261-267, (268-271). - S. further τύφω. θάνατος, θολός, ἀθύρω have nothing to do with our verb.- P. Pagot, RPh LXXV (2001) 144 connects Hitt. tuhhae `pant, sigh' from * dʰ(e)uh₂-, which is however very far as regards the meaning.Page in Frisk: 1,698-699Greek-English etymological dictionary (Ελληνικά-Αγγλικά ετυμολογική λεξικό) > θύω 2

17 κήλη
Grammatical information: f.Meaning: `tumour; rupture, hernia' (Hp., AP), `hump' (Eup., Arist.);Dialectal forms: Att. κάληCompounds: as 1. member in κηλο-τομία `operation for hernia'; as 2. member in ἐντερο-, σαρκο-κήλη (medic.; Strömberg Wortstudien 69f.).Derivatives: κηλήτης, Att. καλήτης m. `with hernia' (Str., Gal., Phryn.), ( ἐντερο-)-κηλικός (Dsc., Gal.); κάλαμα ὄγκος H. (Chantraine Formation 186f.); denomin. verb καλάζει ὀγκοῦται. Άχαιοί H. On κηλᾶς bird s. v.Etymology: The difference between Ion. κήλη and Att. κάλη (acc. to gramm. α long) is not explained. `Rückverwandlung' of PAtt. η \> ᾱ cannot be accounted for; diff. ablaut-forms: *κᾱϜ-ελ-ᾱ \> κήλη, *κᾰϜ-ελ-ᾱ \> κάλη (Kretschmer KZ 31, 471f. doubting) is not attractive. Then κάλη must be an unattic term (Björck Alpha impurum 70 doubting); there is no proof. - A remarkable agreement gives a Germanic term for `groin rupture', OWNo. haull m., OE hēala m., OHG hōla f., PGm. * haula(n)-, - ō(n); from Slavic territoy we find with the same meaning Csl. kyla, Russ. kilá, also `knag on a tree', with Lith. kū́las `navel-rupture(?)', kū́la `thickening, swelling, knag'. Al forms mentioned can go back on an l-stem *kāu̯el-, kaul-, kūl- (cf. on ἥλιος). - Pok. 536f., W.-Hofmann s. cūlus, Vasmer Wb. s. kilá.Page in Frisk: 1,839-840Greek-English etymological dictionary (Ελληνικά-Αγγλικά ετυμολογική λεξικό) > κήλη

18 κλάδος
Grammatical information: m.Meaning: `branch, twig, sprout' (IA., Arist., Thphr.), also a few cases of monosyllabic κλαδ- in κλαδ-ί, κλάδ-α, - ας and of an s-stem in κλάδεσι, - έεσσι, - έων (after δένδρεσι etc.?);Compounds: Compp., e. g. ὀλιγό-κλαδος (Thphr.), κλαδο-τομέω (pap.).Derivatives: Diminut. κλάδιον (Lib., pap.) and κλαδίσκος (Gal.); κλαδεών (Orph.), κλαδών (H.) = κλάδος; κλαδώδης `full of branches' (sch., Eust.), κλάδινος = rameus (Gloss.). Denomin. verb κλαδεύω `cut off branches, clip' (Artem.; - έω Arr.) with κλάδευσις (Aq., Sm., Gp.), κλαδεία (Gp.) `cutting off..., clipping', κλαδευτήρια pl. `pruned leaves' (Gloss.), κλαδευτής `pruner' (Gloss.), κλαδευτήριον, - ια `pruning knife, -festival' (H.).Origin: PG [a word of Pre-Greek origin]Etymology: One often connects * kelh₂- `cut off' (but Pok. 545ff. contains much irrelevant material). But this cannot give the Greek form. The connection with the Germ. word for ` Holz, Wald', OIc. OE holt n. etc. is probably wrong. That both forms can be derived from IE. *kl̥do- must be accidental, and there is no root * kel- without laryneal. Kluge-Seebold notes *kl̥h₂d- [there clearly is a misprint]; a Greek pre-form * klǝd- is impossible since the laryngeal theory: it should be *kl̥h₂d- which would have given *κλᾱδος. For the realia one referred to J. Trier, Holz (Münster-Köln 1952) p. 43ff. Mostly connected with κλάω `break off' (s. v.), but with a pre-Greek (i.e. from before hist. Greek) dental enlargement. Independent of κλάδος is the δ-formation of κλαδαρός `invalid' (s. v.); further καλαδία ἑυκάνη (= `plane') H. [LSJ gives ῥυκάνη (`plane-tree'); thus Frisk s.v.; but this lemma does not exist in H.] with diff. ablaut, s.s.v. - Outside Greek one connects Lat. clādēs `damage etc.', but this requires * klh₂d-, which is impossible for Greek ; and Slav., e. g. Russ.-Csl. klada, Russ. kolodá `beam, block, trunk', on whch I have no opinion. Kuiper GS Kretschmer 121f connected with κλάδος κλών, κλῶναξ, with nasalization (replacement of a stop by the nasal of that series) of the δ; cf. κλῶναξ κλάδος H.

Strömberg Theophrastea 50.Compounds: Compp., e.g. κροτωνο-φόρος (γῆ; hell. pap.).Origin: XX [etym. unknown]Etymology: Unexplained. Hofmann Et. Wb. considers without motivation connection with κρότος. - From it κροτώνη f. `knag, pathological excrescence on the stem (of the olive), fragments of bronchial cartiledge' (Thphr., Hp., Gal.); on the formation cf. γογγρώνη and Chantraine Formation 207, Schwyzer 491. Connection with κάρταλ(λ)ος `basket' through *κρατώνη (J.

20 σκαλμός
Grammatical information: m.Derivatives: - μίδιον n. ( Com. Adesp.). Besides σκάλμη f. `short sword, knife' (S. Fr. 620, after H. = μάχαιρα Θρᾳκία).Etymology: A quite close agreement is found in Germ. in a des. of diff. split or cut objects: OWNo. skalm f. `tooth of a fork, pod of a fruit, short sword', Swed. skalm f., `arm of a fork etc.', LGerm. schalm `thin strip of wood', OHG scalm `boat', PGm. * skal-ma \/ ō-, IE * skol-mo \/ ā-. Besides without anl. s- e.g. Lith. kélmas `stump of a tree, stem' (further in Fraenkel s. v.). The for σκαλμός, - μη required zero grade was formed after σκάλλω, and with an original sense of `split' v. t. The special meaning `thole' is a Greek innovation (cf. Chantraine Étrennes Benveniste 6). -- Did *skl̥mo- give σκαλμο- (one could expect *σκλαμο-?); esp. the Thrac. word is uncertain. Cf. the end of σκάλλω, where Frisk assumes a form independent of this verb, which is rather vague.Page in Frisk: 2,716Greek-English etymological dictionary (Ελληνικά-Αγγλικά ετυμολογική λεξικό) > σκαλμός
