2 λόφος
Grammatical information: m.Meaning: `neck of drawing animals and men, crest of a helmet, crest of a hill' (Il.), also `crest or tuft on the head of birds, of feathers or flesh' (Simon., Hdt., Ar., Arist.).Compounds: Often as 2. member, e.g. γή-, γεώ-λοφος `earth-hill' (Pl., X.) with illuminating first member (Risch IF 59, 268); rarely as 1. member, e.g. (τὰ) λόφουρα `with crest-like tail', of drawing-animals and animals of burden (horses, asses, τὰ ὑποζύγια) as opposed to ruminants (Arist., Thphr., hell. inscr.). - Side-form λόφη f. `comb' (D.S.; after κόμη?).Derivatives: 1. Diminut.: λόφιον `small crest of helmet' (sch.), λοφίδιον `small hill' (Ael.). Other substant.: 2. λοφιά, Ion. - ιή f. `comb for manes, hair-, breast, back-fin etc.' (τ 446, also Hdt., Arist.; cf. Scheller Oxytonierung 72 f.); 3. λοφεῖον `crest-case' (Ar.), also λοφίς περικεφαλαίας θήκη H. 4. λοφίας m. `fish with back-fins', denomination of the φάγρος (Numen. ap. Ath.; like ἀκανθίας a.o., Chantraine Formation 94), also the first dorsal vertebra' (Poll.); in the last meaning also λοφαδίας (Poll.; *λοφάς, - άδιος); λοφιήτης m. `inhabitant of a hill' (AP, of Pan, after πολιήτης). 5. λόφωσις m. `crest ornament' (Ar. Av. 291; cf. ἀέτωσις [s. αἰετός]). - 6. Adjectives: λοφώδης `crest-like, hilly' (Arist.), λοφόεις `crested, hilly' (Tryph., Nonn.). - 7. Verbs: λοφάω `be crested' (Babr., Ar., H.; after κομάω, Leumann Hom. Wörter 307 n. 77); λοφίζω `have the λ. in the hight' (Zonar.); λοφόομαι `rise, form a hill' (Eust.). -- 8. Hypostasis: καταλοφάδεια adv. `hanging down from the neck' (κ 169 with metr. conditioned - εια, cf. κατωμάδιος, κατωμαδόν; Chantraine Form. 39, Gramm. hom. 1, 101 u. 176).Origin: XX [etym. unknown]Etymology: As both Alc. (Z 65) and Hdt. (1, 171) consider the helmet-crest as a Carian invention, Schulze Q. 257, 4 sees in λόφος as `crest of the helmet' a Carian LW [loanword], which he, certainly wrongly, wants to separate from λόφος `neck'. - An acceptable connection gives Toch. A lap `head' (Schulze Kl. Schr. 252); CSl. ORuss. lъbъ `skull' with OCS lъbьnъ `belonging to the skull' (with Russ. lob `front', Ukr. ɫob `front, head') presents serious difficulties because of the vowel. Uncertain Illyr. PN Otto-(Atto-)lobus (Mayer Glotta 32, 83). - Lit. in Vasmer Wb. s. lob, Sadnik-Aitzetmüller Hwb. zu den aksl. Texten 264 (No. 486), v. Windekens Lex. étym. s. lap.
