  • 6 ῥάμφος

    Grammatical information: n.
    Meaning: `(hooked) birdbeak' (com., Call., Plu.).
    Compounds: λεπτό-ραμφος `having a thin beak' (Paul. Aeg.).
    Derivatives: ῥαμφή f. `crooked knife' (Plb., H.). From ῥάμφος: ῥάμφ-ιον n. dimin. (sch.), - ίς, - ίδος f. `crooked clasp' (Hero), also = νεὼς εἶδος H. (cf. κορωνίς), - ιος = πελεκανός (Cyran.), - ώδης `beak-like' (Philostr.), - ησταί ἰχθῦς ποιοί H. (Strömberg Fischnamen 43), - άζομαι `to poke with the beak' (H., Phot.).
    Origin: PG [a word of Pre-Greek origin]
    Etymology: Beside ῥάμφος, ῥαμφή (cf. e.g. γράφος: γραφή) stands with regular full grade ῥέμφος τό στόμα, η ῥίς H. With ῥαμφ- cf. καμπ-, γναμπ-, κραμβ- a.o., for the anlaut also ῥαιβός. No direct agreement. Phonetically comparable, semant. combinable ῥέμβομαι `turn round, roam' (s.v.) with ῥόμβος `(magic) wheel'. Furher one compared Germ., MLG wrimpen `turn up one's nose', wramp-achtich `curled, crooked'; so IE *u̯remb(h)-. Cf. ῥάβδος, ῥέμβομαι; also ῥομφαία. -- The variation β\/ψ prob. points to a Pre-Greek word, which is also prob. seen the a-vocalism.

    * * *
    n., dat. höfði; gen. pl. höfða, dat. höfðum; in Norse MSS. often spelt hafuð, Anecd. 4 (without umlaut); the root-vowel seems in very early times (8th century) to have been a diphthong; thus Bragi uses the rhymes, laufi—haufði, and rauf—haufuð, Edda; the old ditty with a half rhyme, höfðu vér í haufði, Hkr. i. 104, wou’d be faulty unless we accept a diphthong in the latter word: in good old MSS. (e. g. Sæm. Cod. Reg.) the word is always spelt with or au, never o, and probably never had a diphthongal sound; the Norse spelling havuð however points to a short vowel; and later Icel. MSS. spell o or , e. g. Hb. in Vsp. l. c. It is probable that the short vowel originated in the contracted form, as haufði sounds hard; [cp. Goth. haubiþ; A. S. heâfod; Engl. head; Hel. hôbid; O. H. G. houpit; mid. H. G. houbet; mod. G. haupt; Dan. hôved; Swed. hufvud; Ormul. hæfedd (the single f marks a preceding long vowel); thus all old Teut. languages except the Icel. agree in the length of the vowel, whereas Lat. căput, Gr. κεφαλή have a short root vowel.]

    n.
    1) beard (rare);
    2) brim, of a hat or helmet;
    3) the beak or armed prow of ships (of war), stem; róa fyrir barð e-m (= róa fyrir stafn e-m), to thwart one.
    * * *
    n. [identical in etymology but not in sense to Lat. barba, Engl. beard, Germ. bart; the Scandin. dialects all call the beard skegg; Swed. skägg; Dan. skjæg; barð in the sense of barba is quite alien from the Scandin. idioms; the passages, Edda 109 (skegg heitir barð) and höggva börðum í gras, Íd. 12, a poem of the end of the 13th century, are isolated instances: bart in Dan. is a mod. word]:—Lat. ora, margo:
    α. a brim of a helmet or hat (hjálmbarð, hattbarð), Fas. iii. 341.
    β. the verge, edge of a hill (holtbarð, túnbarð, brekkubarð, hólbarð, etc.), freq. in local names of farms in Icel.
    γ. the wing or side fin of some fishes, e. g. whales, cp. barðhvalr; of flat fishes, raja pastinaca (skötubarð).
    δ. the beak or armed prow of ships, esp. ships’ of war, [cp. A. S. barda, a beaked ship]; so barded, of a horse in armour; hence Barði or Járnbarði is the name of a sort of ram in olden times, e. g. the famous Járnbarði ( Iron Ram) of carl Eric, described, Fms. ii. 310; cp. also Fb. i. 280: the stem, Gr. στείρη, Jb. 398; róa fyrir barð e-rn, to thwart one, Gþl. 519, Eg. 386, Fms. vii. 195; skulu vér binda akkeri fyrir barð hverju skipi, xi. 66, ii. 273, Lex. Poët.
    ε. several compds are used in Icel. referring to parts of the head, e. g. hökubarð, kinnbarð, kjálkabarð, ora genae, maxillae, but without any notion of ‘beard,’ cp. Isid. granos et cinnabar Gothorurn, 19. 23; the cinnabar and the present Icel. kinnabarð seem to be etymologically identical.

G. L. i. 56 (vide eiðr); the origin of the name is uncertain, perhaps the compurgators had to appear in court in cowls: grímu-maðr, m. a cowled man, a man in disguise, Fb. i. 509, Fas. iii. 321, N. G. L. i. 175.
    II. metaph. the night, poët., Alm. 31, Edda (Gl.), Lex.

    Grímr and Grímnir are names of Odin from his travelling in disguise, Edda: Grímr also is freq. a masc. pr. name, and in compds, Þor-grímr, Ás-grímr, Stein-grímr, Hall-grímr, etc.; and of women Gríma, Hall-gríma, etc.; prefixed in Grím-kell, Grím-úlfr, etc.: a serpent is in poetry called grímr.
