10 οἶμος
Grammatical information: m. (also f. after ὁδός a.o.; Schwyzer- Debrunner 34 n. 3).Meaning: `streak' (Λ 24 οἶμοι κυάνοιο, on a θώρηξ), `path, road, track', also `strip, tract of land' (Hes. Op. 290, Pi., trag., Pl., Call., Men.), also connected with song and play (s. οἴμη).Other forms: (also οἷμος, s. below).Compounds: Few compp.: δύσ-οιμος ( τύχα A. Ch. 945 [lyr.]; after H. = ἐπὶ κακῳ̃ ἥκουσα, δύσοδος). ἄοιμος ἄπορος and πάροιμος ὁ γείτων H. -- On παροιμία s.v.; cf. also ἑτοῖμος.Origin: XX [etym. unknown]Etymology: As an aspirated form οἷμος is ascertained (e.g. Hdn. Gr. 1, 546; cf. also φροίμιον [s. οἴμη] and ἄοιμος), an IE basis * oi-mo-: Skt. é-man- n. `path, walk' (to εἶμι; Curtius 401, also Schwyzer 381) cannot be considered as probable.

Att.).Origin: XX [etym. unknown]Etymology: Unexplained; for the formation cf. on the one hand plant names as ὄροβος, σκόλυβος, on the other hand the synonymous ὄχθοι-βος, κόσυμβος a. o. mostly dark words (Chantraine Form. 261 f.). -- Cf. σίλλυβος. -- Furnée 67 derives the word from * tit(o)l-obh \> sisl-ub-, comparing Lat. titulus, which was orig. a "Anhängsel an Schriftrollen."Page in Frisk: 2,706Greek-English etymological dictionary (Ελληνικά-Αγγλικά ετυμολογική λεξικό) > σίλλυβον

12 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

(cf. σφύραινα below).Compounds: Compp., e.g. σφυρ-ήλατος `wrought with the hammer, of wrought labour, sound' (Hdt., Pi., A., Pl. etc.) with - έω (Ph.).Derivatives: Demin. σφυρ-ίον n. (hell.), σφύρ-αινα f. name of a fish, bicuda (Stratt., Arist. etc.), after the form of the body (Strömberg 35); - ηδόν `hammer-like' (Philostr.); - ωσις f. `the hammering, forging' (Didyma IIa), = δίάροσις H., - ήματα τὰ σιδήρια, ὅτι οὐ χεῖται H.Origin: XX [etym. unknown]Etymology: As zero grade formation beside σφαῖρα σφῦρα belongs prob. like σφυρόν (s. v.) to σπαίρω a. cogn. [impossible because of the σφ-]. As in the case of σφαῖρα, σπεῖρα, μοῖρα a.o. the formal proceß remains unclear; PGr. *σφύρ-ι̯α beside σφυρ-όν can be understood both as primary deriv. "the beating, bumping" and as secondary deriv. "beating, bumping apparatus, (hand)hammer, stamper". On an older word for `stone hammer' s. ἄκμων.
