1 νειός
Grammatical information: f.Meaning: `fallow field' (Hom., Hes., Call., Arist., Thphr.); on the meaning below.Derivatives: Besides, in meaning quite deviating, the adv. νει-όθεν `from below (K 10, hell. poet.), νει-όθε `id.' (poet. inscr. IIIp, Luc.), νει-όθι `below' (Φ 317, Hes. Th. 567, hell. poet.). -- Sup. νείατος (ep.), νέατος, Arc. νήατος, H. νῆτος `most below, utmost' (Il.), after ἔσχατος, πύματος, cf. μέσος: μέσατος; f. νεάτη (Cratin., Pl.), contr. νήτη (Arist., Ptol.), sc. χορδή `the lowest string' (with the highest tone); νειότατον κατώτατον H.; also νήϊστος in νήϊστα ἔσχατα, κατώτατα H., prob also in Νήϊσται (Boeot. -ϊτται) πύλαι in Thebes (A. Th. 460, E. Ph. 1104). -- Fem. νείαιρα ( νέαιρα Simon.) `the lowest', as subst. (sc. γαστήρ) `belly, abdomen' (Il., Hp., hell.), cf. γέραιρα a.o. (Chantraine Form. 104, 234; cf. also Benveniste Origines 112); contr. νεῖρα (A. Ag. 1479, E. Rh. 794 [readings not quite certain], H.), here m. νειρός (Lyc., H.) with f. νειρη κοίλη κοιλία ἐσχάτη H. (Schwyzer 475). Cf. on the whole Schwyzer 503. -- Denomin. νεάω `plough a fallow land' (Hes. Op. 462, com., Thphr.), early connected with νέος `new', if not even derived from it, cf. on νέος; νεατός m. `working of fallow land' (X. Oik. 7, 20; like ἀλοατός), νέασις f. `id.' (Thphr.) with νεάσιμος (Gloss.; Arbenz 87).Etymology: If νειόθεν, νείατος, νείαιρα are at all cognate with νειός, νειός (sc. γῆ, χώρα), it must have meant prop. *'lying low, lowlying plain'; the meaning `fallow land', which is also possible for Homer, but not compulsory (rather `field, plain' ?), could rest on the early connection with νέος `new'; cf. Lat. novalis, -e `fallow land'. -- Except for the ending νειός \< *νειϜός can be identical with a Slavic word fur `field', e.g. OCS njiva (with dark nj-), Russ. níva f., IE *neiu̯ó-s (Slav. -ā secondary); Fick BB 1, 335f., Schulze KZ 27, 603f. (= Kl. Schr. 373f.). If we separate a formantic u̯o-element, we can connect the IE adv. *ni `low' in Skt. ní etc.; here a.o. OHG ni-dar `to below', OE neowol `slanting' from * ni-wol (cf. νει-Ϝό-ς). The writing νη- in νήϊστος, νήατος is not convincingly explained. As old lengthened grade, esp. in a superlative, is very improbable, the η must be secondary. Hypotheses in Seiler Steigerungsformen 110ff., esp. on Νήϊται πύλαι; s. also WP. 2, 335 (= Pok. 313: η = closed ē from ει before palat. vowel?). On the Slav. words s. also Vasmer s. níva, with other explanations. -- Cf. also νέατος s. νέος.Page in Frisk: 2,Greek-English etymological dictionary (Ελληνικά-Αγγλικά ετυμολογική λεξικό) > νειός

Hist.); 4. ὀμφαλιστήρ, - ῆρος m. `knife used for cutting the navel string' (Poll., H.; cf. on βραχιονιστήρ).Etymology: Old word for `navel' with close agreements in Lat. umbil-īcus (prob. from * umbilus = ὀμφαλός), OIr. imbliu (PCelt. * imbilon-, IE *h₃m̥bh-); with this orig. athemat. l-stem (still in the Epirotic tribal name Ὄμφαλ-ος [gen. sg.], - ες [nom. pl.] retained?, s. Schwyzer 484 w. lit.) alternates an n-stem in Lat. umbō, - ōnis m. `boss of a shield', prob. also in a Westgerm. word for `belly, abdomen', OHG amban (sec. a-st.), -on m., OS (nom.) acc. pl. m. ambon, PGm. * amban-, IE * ombhon- (cf. on ὄμφαξ); on the l: n-variation cf. ἀγκάλη: ἀγκών. -- Beside these mainly western forms stand, primarily in the East, the in ablaut quite deviating Skt. nā́bhi- f. `navel, nave', OPr. nabis `id.', Latv. naba `navel', Germ., e.g. OHG naba f. `nave of a wheel', nabalo m. `navel' (l-suffix a in ὀμφαλός etc.), IE *h₃nĕbh-.

6 ὅρμος 2
ὅρμος 2.Grammatical information: m.Meaning: `anchorage, road(stead), harbour', also metaph. (Il.).Compounds: Compp., e.g. ὁρμο-φύλαξ `harbour-master' (pap.); often as 2. member, e.g. πάν-ορμος `offering anchorage to all (ships)' ( λιμένες, ν 195), often as PN (Sicily a.o.), δύσ-ορμος `with a bad harbour, inhospitable' (A., X.); often w. preposition, partly as backformations from the relevant verbs: ἔξ-ορμος `sailing out' (E.: ἐξ-ορμέω; Strömberg Prefix Studies 58), ὕφ-ορμος `at anchor, fit for anchoring' (Ph., Str.), also subst. m. `anchorage' (Arist., Str.: ὑφ-ορμέω), πρόσ-ορμος m. `id.' (Str.: πρόσ-ορμέω, - ορμίζω).Derivatives: Two denomin. 1. ὁρμέω, also w. ἐφ-, ἐξ-, ὑφ- a.o., `to be at anchor (in the harbour)' (IA.) with ἐφόρμησις f. and (as backformation) ἔφορμος m. `the being at anchor, blockade' (Th.). 2. ὁρμίζω, - ομαι, aor. - ίσαι, - ίσασθαι, often w. prefix, e.g. ἐν-, προσ-, καθ-, μεθ-, `to bring to resp. to arrive at the anchorage or harbour, to anchor (oneself)' (Il.) with ( προσ- a.o.) όρμισις f. `the anchoring' (Th.), ( ἐν-)όρμισμα n. `anchorage, the anchoring' (App.), προσορμισμός m. `the anchoring' (sch.), προσορμιστήριον H. as explanation of ἐπίνειον (cod. ἐπήνιον), ὁρμιστηρία f. `rope for anchoring, attaching' (Ph., D. S.), ὁρμίστρια f. "the anchoreress" surn. of Isis (pap. IIp).Etymology: Without certain etymology. Often connected with ὁρμη, but with diff. argumentation: prop. "impulse, startingpoint" (Fick GGA 1894, 242); "a place where ships may ride at anchor" = Skt. sárma- m. `flowing' (Word ClassPhil. 3, 77), "luogo dove si getta l'ancora" (Bolelli Stud. itfilcl. 24 [1950] 104). Bq and Hofmann Et.Wb. consider for it, semantically also a little stilted, connection with εἴρω `string' ("attacher"); so prop. "attachement, Festmachung" (against this Porzig Satzinhalte 262) and with ὅρμος `chain' basically identical. Instead of operating with the abstract notion `fastening', it would be better, to explain ὅρμος `anchorage' as metaphor from ὅρμος `(anchor)-chain'; cf. AP 9, 296: τὸν ἀπ' ἀγκύρης ὅρμον ἔκειρε. -- Or to ἕρματα `supporting stones' (also unclear) ?Page in Frisk: 2,420-421Greek-English etymological dictionary (Ελληνικά-Αγγλικά ετυμολογική λεξικό) > ὅρμος 2

7 στράγξ
στράγξ, - γγόςGrammatical information: f.Meaning: `squeezed out drop[ pouring out]' (Arist., Thphr., Men., AP a. o.).Derivatives: Beside it στραγγ-ός (also - γ-) `flowing drop by drop', also `tied together, entangled, by shocks, irregular' (medic. a.o.), - εῖον n. `drop-bottle' (medic.). - ίας ( πυρός) `kind of wheat' (Thphr.; cf. Strömberg Theophrastea 91). As 1. element in the compound στραγγ-ουρ-ία, Ion. - ίη f. = ἡ κατὰ στράγγα οὔρησις (Gal.), `strangury' (Hp., Att., hell. a. late) with - ικός, - ιώδης, - ιάω, - έω. Denominatives 1. στραγγ-ίζω, also w. κατα-, ἐκ-, ἀπο-, `to squeeze out drop by drop' (LXX, Dsc. a.o.); 2. - εύομαι (auch - γ-) `to hesitate, to linger, to dawdle' (Ar., Pl. hell. a. late; on the meaning below) with - εία f. `hesitation' (M. Ant.). -- With λ-sufflx: στραγγάλη f. `cord, rope, noose' (J., Plu., S. E.) wit - αλίς f. `entangled knot, induration' (com. Va, Arist. a.o.), - αλιά f. `id.' (LXX etc.; Scheller Oxytonierung 88), - αλιώδης `knotty, entangled' (LXX, Com. Adesp.), - αλάω `to choke, to strangle' (Men., LXX), - αλίζω, also w. ἀπο-, `id.' (D. S., Str. etc.), - αλισμός (gloss.), - αλόομαι `to become entangled, ensnared' (Ph. Bel. a.o.).Origin: PG [a word of Pre-Greek origin]Etymology: With στράγξ cf. στρίγξ, λύγξ, κλαγγ-ί a.o.; στραγγ-άλη as σκυτ-άλη etc. -- Of στράγξ a. cogn. remind strongly of several words from other languages: Lat. stringō `string, tie together', if from * strengō with analog. i in strictus, Latv. stringu, stringt (zero grade) `become stiff', also `wither' (from `shrivel, contract'), MIr. srengim `draw, drag', NIr. sreang `strand, strick', Germ., e.g. OHG strang, OWNo. strengr (from * strang-i-) `id.', OWNo. strangr, OS strang, OHG strengi `stretched, stiff, unbendible, streng etc.' with Norw. strengja `draw stiff', NHG anstrengen etc., IE * streng(h)-, strong(h)-. But then στραγγ- must stand either as zero grade for στραγ- (= Latv. stringt; in στραγ-ός, - εύομαι beside στραγγ- still retained?) or have got the α-vowel secondarily, which would not surprise with the orig. popular character of this word group. As orig. meaning of this family we must posit `string, tie together', which had in Greek a quite special development. Thus the drop, στράγξ, as "which strings, ties together," resp. "which is strung togethet" (as opposed to free running liquidity) interpreted; cf. σύστρεμμα also `round drop of water'. (Prop. from washing? Thierfelder by letter.) The meaning `linger, hesitate' in στραγ-γεύομαι can be explained both from `draw together, congeal' as from `run by drops (= slowly)'. -- Further forms and combinations a. lit. in WP. 2, 650f., Pok. 1036f., W.-Hofmann s. stringō. Lat. LW [loanword] strangūria, strangulō. Cf. στρογγύλος. -- The word is no doubt Pre-Greek (cf. the variant without nasal, and the a-vocalism).Page in Frisk: 2,804-805Greek-English etymological dictionary (Ελληνικά-Αγγλικά ετυμολογική λεξικό) > στράγξ

Grammatical information: v.Meaning: `push, strike, stamp' (Hp., Att.).Derivatives: Also from the prefixcompp. in several meanings (here not esp. noted): κροῦμα, - σμα `sound made through bumping, tone, melody' (Hp., Att.) with κρου(σ)-ματικός (hell.), κροῦσις `striking, esp. of the strings, string music' (Hp., Att.), κρουσμός `id.'

Debrunner IF 21, 43.Etymology: To κροιός s. below and s. v. The Greek verbal system and the deriv. nouns is based on a stem κρουσ-; the present can be *κρούσ-ω or *κρούσ-ιω. The pair κρούω: κροαίνω agrees with ἀκούω: ἀκοή and must be explained in the same way; a base-form *κροϜάν-ι̯ω without σ (Bechtel Lex. s. v. with Fraenkel Denom. 23 n. 2) is unnecessary. Also κροιός (s. v.) can go back on *κρουσ-ι̯ός (with functional - ιο- retained). - With κρούω from IE krous- agrees exactly Slav., e.g. OCS sъ-krušǫ, - šiti, Russ. krušitь ' συντρίβειν, θραύειν, κρούειν'; the same fullgrade also in Latv. kràusêt `stamp (off)', Lith. kraušýti `id.'.

To open from the outside, the string was first untied, and then the κληίς, not unlike a hook (fig. 4, f), was introduced through the key-hole, c, and by means of a crook (g, fig. 3) at the end of it the bolt was pushed back from the position of fig. 3 to that of fig. 2, and the door opened, Od. 1.442.— (5) for a bed - cord, Od. 23.201.— (6) the magic girdle of Aphrodīte, Il. 14.214, 219. — (7) a thong to make a drill revolve, Od. 9.385.

S. 3, 21), dat. pl. - θαις (Agatharch. 47); acc. sg. - θον (H.), nom. - θος (Zonar.).Origin: PG [a word of Pre-Greek origin]Etymology: Formation like ἕλμις ( μέρμινθα v. l. D. S. l. c. like ἕλμινθος etc.), ὄρνις γέλγις a. o. (Schwyzer 510, Chantraine 366). Further analysis unknown; a suffixal - μι- (with θ-enlargement) is possible; broken reduplication may be considered. A primary verb mer- `twist, bind' (WP. 2, 272 a. Pok. 733) is nowhere attested; cognates have been supposed in μηρύω as well as in βρόχος and μάραθ(ρ)ον (s. vv.), both without further confirmation. For foreign (Pre-Greek) origin Chantraine l.c., Deroy Glotta 35, 191ff.

20 πύκα
Grammatical information: Adv.Meaning: `dense, solid', metaph. `careful, sensible' (Hom.).Derivatives: Beside it πυκάζω, Dor. - άσδω (Theoc.), aor. πυκά-σ(σ)αι, pass. - σθῆναι, perf. midd. πεπύκασμαι, quite rarely with περι- a.o., `to tighten, to enclose tightly, to encase compactly, to cover' (ep. poet., late prose) with πύκασμα n. `encased, covered object' (Sm.). Adj. πυκνός, ep. lyr. also πυκινός, `dense, solid, compacted, numerous, strong, brave, clever' (Il.), often as 1. member, e.g. πυκνό-σαρκος `with solid flesh' (Hp., Arist.). From it πυκν-ότης f. `density, closeness etc.' (IA.), - άκις = πολλάκις (Arist.), - όω `to make dense, to tighten etc.' (IA.) with - ωμα, - ωσις, - ωτικός; - άζω `to be numerous' (EM, Gloss.). As 1. member πυκι- in πυκι-μηδής (- μήδης) = μήδεα πυκνά (Γ 202, 208) ἔχων, `with close mind, considerate, sensible' (α 438, h. Cer., Q. S.; Bechtel Lex. s.v.). -- On ἄμπυξ s. v.Origin: XX [etym. unknown]Etymology: The forms πύκα: πυκνός: πυκι-μηδής form a system; with πύκα: πυκνός cf. esp. the in meaning close θαμά: θάμνος (s. vv.). To this πυκινός (after πυκι-μηδής?) like (he analog. built?) θαμινός, ἁδινός a.o. (Schwyzer 490). To be rejected Szemerényi Syncope in Greek and I.-Eur. 82 ff., 87 ff.

The pair of words that certainly belong together ἄμ-πυξ: Av. pus-ā `diadem' [but see my doubts s.v.], which agrees with πρόσ-φυξ: φυγ-η, points to a primary verb IE *puḱ- `fasten etc.' (WP. 2, 82, Pok. 849), which in Greek was replaced by πυκάζω. As denominative of πύκα without doubt explainable (Schwyzer 734), πυκάζω because of the very limited use of πύκα can as well be understood as a formal enlargement of the older primary present. -- Against adducing Alb. puth `I kiss', puthtohem `clothe myself narrow, string myself, embrace' (since G.
