  • 13 Ἄρπυια

    Grammatical information: f.
    Meaning: mostly pl., f. `the Harpies', demons (Il.).
    Other forms: Old dual Άρεπυίᾱ (Aigina); the same form with - υῖαι also EM 138, 21.
    Origin: PG [a word of Pre-Greek origin]
    Etymology: The expression Α῝ρπυιαι ἀνηρέψαντο (ξ 371 = α 241) suggests connection with ἐρέπτομαι `feed on (raufen, abrupfen, fressen)' (q. v.), but this is impossible because of the ἐ-, and because of its meaning, `feed on'. - Perfect forms without reduplication do not exist. - υια is typical for substr. words, cf. ἄγυια, αἴθυια etc. The variation with\/without ε is also a substr. characteristic. Therefore the name is a substr. element; cf. Εἰλείθυια S. Szemerényi, Syncope 203 - 213 and Beekes, FS Watkins1998, 24f. The spiritus may have been taken from ἅπάζω.). Fur. 327f connects the name with ἄρπυς `love', for which I see no reason.
