Origin: IE [Indo-European] [423] * gʰebʰel- `head'

Etymology: Old word for `head', found also in Tocharian and Germanic: Toch. A śpāl `head' (final unclear), OHG gebal m., MHG. gebel `skull', OHG gibilla f. `id.' (Germ. i̯ō-deriv); besides in the sense of `front' OHG gibil m., Goth. gibla m. (n-stem) and, with ablaut, ONo. gafl m. `side of a facade'; IE. * ghebh(e)l-, which looks like an l-stem; but a corresponding basis has nowhere been found. - Here also γαβαλάν ἐγκέφαλον η κεφαλήν H. and Maced. (Illyr.?) κεβ(α)λή; s. κεβλη. The Greek -α is difficult. S. Benveniste, Word 10 (1954) 255f.

Grammatical information: n.

Meaning: `skull, brain-pan', also of the head in gen. (Θ 84 [Atticism?, Wackernagel Unt. 225, Chantraine Gramm. hom. 1, 18, Shipp Studies 21], Pi. I. 4, 54, Att.).

Compounds: As 1. member in κρανιό-λειος `bald-headed' ( Com. Adesp. 1050); not seldom as 2. member, esp. in medic. expressions, e.g. ὀπισθο-κράνιον `occiput', ἐγ-κράνιον `cerebellum' (after ἐγ-κέφαλος), but also otherwise, e.g. βου-κράνιον `oxhead' (EM), also as plant-name (Ps.-Dsc., Gal., Strömberg Pflanzennamen 47). Adjectival hypostasis περι-κράνιος `running around the skull' (Plu., medic.).

Derivatives: Beside it, older and more usual, -κρᾱνον, e.g ἐπί-κρανον `capital, head-band' (Pi., E., inscr.), ποτί-κρανον `cushion' (Sophr., Theoc.), ὀλέ-κρανον `head of the elbow' (Hp., Ar., Arist.), κιο(νό)-κρανον (s. κίων). Adj., e. g. βού-, ἐλαφό-, δί-, τρί-, χαλκεό-, ὀρθό-κρανος. Rarely as 1. member: κρανο-κοπέω `cut off the head' (pap.); on κρανο-κολάπτης s. κράνον. -- Denomin. verbs: κρανίξαι ἐπὶ κεφαλην ἀπορρῖψαι, κρηνιῶν καρηβαρῶν H.; hypostasis ἀποκρανίξαι `tear from the head' (AP), `cut off the head' (Eust.). The secondary formation κρᾱνίον goes back on a nominal basis. We can better start directly from the oblique stem κρᾱν-.

Origin: IE [Indo-European] [574] *ḱerh₂- `head, horn'

The body as the seat of sexual function Ro 4:19; 1 Cor 7:4ab (rights over the σῶμα of one’s spouse as Artem. 1, 44 p. 42, 14f; Iren. 1, 13, 3 [Harv. I 119, 10]).—The body as seat of mortal life εἶναι ἐν σώματι be in the body = alive, subject to mortal ills (TestAbr A 9 p. 87, 3 [Stone p. 22]; Poryphr., Abst. 1, 38) Hb 13:3. ἐνδημεῖν ἐν τῷ σώματι 2 Cor 5:6 (s. ἐνδημέω). ἐκδημῆσαι ἐκ τοῦ σώματος vs. 8 (s. ἐκδημέω). διὰ τοῦ σώματος during the time of one’s mortal life (cp. Lucian, Menipp. 11, end, Catapl. 23) vs. 10 (s. κομίζω 3, but s. also below in this section). Paul does not know whether, in a moment of religious ecstasy, he was ἐν σώματι or ἐκτὸς (χωρὶς) τοῦ σώματος 12:2f (of Epimenides [A2: Vorsokrat.⁵ I p. 29] it was said ὡς ἐξίοι ἡ ψυχὴ ὁπόσον ἤθελε καιρὸν καὶ πάλιν εἰσῄει ἐν τῷ σώματι; Clearchus, Fgm. 7: καθάπερ ὁ Κλέαρχος ἐν τοῖς περὶ ὕπνου φησίν, περὶ τῆς ψυχῆς, ὡς ἄρα χωρίζεται τοῦ σώματος καὶ ὡς εἴσεισιν εἰς τὸ σῶμα καὶ ὡς χρῆται αὐτῷ οἷον καταγωγίῳ [a resting-place]. In Fgm. 8 Clearchus tells about Cleonymus the Athenian, who seemed to be dead, but awakened after 3 days and thereupon reported everything that he had seen and heard ἐπειδὴ χωρὶς ἦν τοῦ σώματος. His soul is said finally to have arrived εἴς τινα χῶρον ἱερὸν τῆς Ἑστίας; Maximus Tyr. 38, 3a–f Ἀριστέας ἔφασκεν τὴν ψυχὴν αὐτῷ καταλιποῦσαν τὸ σῶμα in order to wander through the universe. He finds faith everywhere. Similarly 10, 2f. See also the story of Hermotimus in Apollon. Paradox. 3 as well as Lucian, Musc. Enc. [The Fly] 7.—On the two kinds of transcendent vision [with or without the body] s. Proclus, In Pla. Rem Publ. II p. 121, 26ff Kroll: οἱ μὲν μετὰ τοῦ σώματος τῶν τοιούτων [like Ἐμπεδότιμος] ἵστορες [=eyewitnesses], οἱ δὲ ἄνευ σώματος [like Κλεώνυμος]. καὶ πλήρεις αἱ παραδόσεις τούτων.). ἀπὼν τῷ σώματι (παρὼν δὲ τῷ πνεύματι) 1 Cor 5:3. ἡ παρουσία τοῦ σώματος 2 Cor 10:10 (παρουσία 1). The body is the instrument of human experience and suffering 4:10ab; Gal 6:17 (allusion AcPlCor 2, 35); Phil 1:20; the body is the organ of a person’s activity: δοξάσατε τὸν θεὸν ἐν τῷ σώματι ὑμῶν glorify God through your body, i.e. by leading an upright life 1 Cor 6:20; cp. Ro 12:1. This may be the place (s. above in this section) for διὰ τοῦ σώματος 2 Cor 5:10 which, in that case, would be taken in an instrumental sense with or through the body (cp. Pla., Phd. 65a; Ps.-Pla., Axioch. 13, 371c; Aelian, NA 5, 26 τὰ διὰ τοῦ σώματος πραττόμενα). In some of the last-named passages (such as Ro 12:1; Phil 1:20; also Eph 5:28 w. parallel in Plut., Mor. 142e: s. HAlmqvist, Plut. u. d. NT ’46, 116f) the body is almost synonymous w. the whole personality (as Aeschin., Or. 2, 58; X., An. 1, 9, 12 τὰ ἑαυτῶν σώματα=themselves. Appian, Syr. 41 §218 παρεδίδου τὸ σῶμα τοῖς ἐθέλουσιν ἀπαγαγεῖν=[Epaminondas] gave himself up to those who wished to take him away, Mithr. 27 §107 ἐς τὸ σῶμα αὐτοῦ=against his person, Bell. Civ. 2, 106 §442 Caesar’s person [σῶμα] is ἱερὸς καὶ ἄσυλος=sacred and inviolable; 3, 39 §157 ἔργον … σῶμα=course of action … person; Mitt-Wilck. I/2, 55, 7 [III B.C.] ἑκάστου σώματος=for every person. See Wilcken’s note).—Because it is subject to sin and death, man’s mortal body as τὸ σῶμα τῆς σαρκός (σάρξ 2cα) Col 2:11 is a σῶμα τῆς ἁμαρτίας Ro 6:6 or τοῦ θανάτου 7:24; cp. 8:11. In fact, σῶμα can actually take the place of σάρξ 8:13 (cp. Herm. Wr. 4, 6b ἐὰν μὴ πρῶτον τὸ σῶμα μισήσῃς, σεαυτὸν φιλῆσαι οὐ δύνασαι; 11, 21a.—Cp. Hippol., Ref. 5, 19, 6). As a σῶμα τῆς ταπεινώσεως lowly body it stands in contrast to the σῶμα τῆς δόξης glorious body of the heavenly beings Phil 3:21. In another pass. σῶμα ψυχικόν of mortals is opposed to the σῶμα πνευματικόν after the resurrection 1 Cor 15:44abc.—Christ’s earthly body, which was subject to death (Orig., C. Cels. 2, 9, 13) Ro 7:4; Hb 10:5 (Ps 39:7 v.l.), 10; 1 Pt 2:24; AcPlCor 2:16f. τὸ σῶμα καὶ τὰ ὀστᾶ καὶ τὸ πνεῦμα Χριστοῦ 2:32. τὸ σῶμα τῆς σαρκὸς αὐτοῦ Col 1:22. Esp. in the language of the Eucharist (opp. αἷμα) Mt 26:26; Mk 14:22; Lk 22:19; 1 Cor 10:16 (GBornkamm, NTS 2, ’56, 202–6); 11:24, 27, 29. S. the lit. s.v. ἀγάπη 2 and εὐχαριστία 3, also JBonsirven, Biblica 29, ’48, 205–19.—ἓν σῶμα a single body 1 Cor 6:16 (cp. Jos., Ant. 7, 66 Δαυίδης τήν τε ἄνω πόλιν κ. τὴν ἄκραν συνάψας ἐποίησεν ἕν σῶμα; Artem. 3, 66 p. 196, 9; RKempthorne, NTS 14. ’67/68, 568–74).

② pl. σώματα slaves (Herodas 2, 87 δοῦλα σώματα; Polyb. et al.; oft. Vett. Val.; ins, pap; Gen 36:6; Tob 10:10; Bel 32; 2 Macc 8:11; Jos., Ant. 14, 321; cp. our colloq. ‘get some bodies for the job’) Rv 18:13 (cp. Ezk 27:13; the abs. usage rejected by Atticists, s. Phryn. 378 Lob.).

③ plant and seed structure, body. In order to gain an answer to his own question in 1 Cor 15:35 ποίῳ σώματι ἔρχονται; (i.e. the dead after the resurrection), Paul speaks of bodies of plants (which are different in kind fr. the ‘body’ of the seed which is planted.—Maximus Tyr. 40, 60e makes a distinction betw. the σώματα of the plants, which grow old and pass away, and their σπέρματα, which endure.—σώματα of plants also in Apollon. Paradox. 7 [after Aristot.]) vs. 37f, and of σώματα ἐπουράνια of the heavenly bodies vs. 40 (cp. Ps.-Aristot., De Mundo 2, 2 the stars as σώματα θεῖα; Maximus Tyr. 21, 8b οὐρανὸς κ. τὰ ἐν αὐτῷ σώματα, acc. to 11, 12a οἱ ἀστέρες; 40, 4h; Sallust. 9 p. 18, 5).

④ substantive reality, the thing itself, the reality in imagery of a body that casts a shadow, in contrast to σκιά (q.v. 3) Col 2:17.

⑤ a unified group of people, body fig. ext. of 1, of the Christian community or church (cp. Cyr. Ins. 58, ‘body of the Hellenes’; Polyaenus, Exc. 18, 4 of the phalanx; Libanius, Or. 1 p. 176, 25 F. τὸ τῆς πόλεως ς.; Plut., Philop. 360 [8, 2]), esp. as the body of Christ, which he fills or enlivens as its Spirit (in this case the head belongs with the body, as Appian, Bell. Civ. 3, 26 §101, where a severed head is differentiated from τὸ ἄλλο σῶμα=the rest of the body), or crowns as its Head (Hdt. 7, 140; Quint.

Grammatical information: n.

Meaning: `the space between the eyes, forehead, brow', metaph. `front, front of an army' (Il.); also plantname = χαλβάνη (Dsc.).

Compounds: Compp., e.g. εὑρυ-μέτωπος `with broad forehead' (Hom.).

Derivatives: μετώπιος `on the forehead' (L 95, P 739; can also be subst. = `forehead'; s. below), - ιον n. `front' (Priene IV<sup>a</sup>), `fore-head-bandage etc.' (Gal.), name of a salve prepared from the plant μ. etc. (Dsc., Gal.); μετωπ-ίδιος `of the forehead' (Hp., A P), but προ-, περιμετωπ-ίδιος `on the forehead' (Hdt., X.), resp. `covering the forehead' (Hp.) from the corresponding prepositional terms; - ιαῖος `id.' (medic.; Chantraine Form. 49); - ίας m. `with a typical forehead' (pap.); μετωπίς ἱατρικὸς ἐπίδεσμος H.; μετωπ-ηδόν (Hdt., Th.), - ᾰδόν (Opp.) `forming a front'. -- To the PN Μέτωπος Sommer Nominalkomp. 8 n. 2.

Origin: GR [a formation built with Greek elements]

Etymology: After Arist. HA 49 1b 12 prop. = μεταξὺ τῶν ὀμμάτων, `space between the eyes', so hypostasis from μετά and (ὤψ), ὦπ-α `eye, face' with themat. vowel. μετώπ-ιον `forehead (?), front' may be a parallel formation with ιο-suffix. The expression becomes esp. clear, if one starts from the head of an animal with his eyes on the sides (Sommer 115 n. 1).

Grammatical information: n. pl.

Meaning: `cattle, herd, flock' (Il.), `small cattle', sg. - ον mostly `sheep' (Att., Gort. etc.); also name of an unknown fish (Opp., Ael.; because of the similarity of the head, cf. Strömberg Fischn. 102).

Compounds: Compp., e.g. προβατο-γνώμων m. `knower of herds' (A.), πολυ-πρόβατος `rich of cattle, sheep' (Hdt., X.).

Derivatives: 1. Dimin. προβάτ-ιον n. (Att.). 2. Adj. προβάτ-ειος (Arist.), - ικός (LXX, N.T.) `belonging to sheep (small cattle)', - ώδης `sheep-like' (sp.). 3. - ών (- εών Hdn.), - ῶνος m. `sheepfold' (hell. inscr. a. pap.). 4. - ήματα πρόβατα H. (after κτήματα, βοσκή-ματα etc.; Chantraine Form. 178). 5. - εύς m. `shepherd' (title of a com. of Antiph.). 6. - εύω `to keep, tend cattle, sheep' (D. H., App.) with - ευτικός, - εύσιμος, - ευτής, - εία. 7. Plant-names: - ειον, - ειος, - αία (Ps.-Dsc.) "sheep-herb" (cf. Strömberg Pfl. 137). -- To πρόβειος, rhythmical shortening for προβάτειος (An. Ox. a.o.) Palmer Class Quart. 33,31ff.

Origin: IE [Indo-European] [463] * gʷeh₂- `go'

Etymology: In the same sense as πρόβατα we find once in collective meaning the verbal abstract πρόβασις (β 75 κειμήλιά τε πρό-βασίν τε), which designates here the moving cattle as opposed to the life-less ("lying") property. The origin from προβαίνειν (thus already EM) is confirmed by it. Thus OIcel. ganganda fé "going cattle" = `living stock' beside liggjanda fé ' κειμήλια', Hitt. ii̯ant- `sheep' prop. "the going", ptc. of ii̯a- `go', Toch. A śemäl `small cattle', prop. vbaladj. of käm-, śäm- `come' (= βαίνειν). Typical for Greek is however the prefix προ-; so πρόβατα prop. "those going forward", a notion, which seems to require an other way of moving as opposite, but has a correspondence in Av. fra-čar- and Skt. pra-car- `move forward' (opposed to `remain motionless'); s. Benveniste BSL 45, 91 ff. with extensive treatment and criticism of diverging views (Lommel KZ 46, 46ff.; s. also Kretschmer Glotta 8, 269 f.). -- The plural πρόβατα is usu., esp. because of the dat. pl. πρόβασι (Hdn.) for the usual προβατοις (Hes.), considered as orig. consonant-stem πρόβατ-α, to which secondarily πρόβατον (Bq s.v., Schwyzer 499 with Risch 178, Benveniste l.c., Egli Heteroklisie 41 ff.); against this with good arguments Georgacas Glotta 36, 178 ff., who rightly points to other infinite active το-participles, e.g. στατός `standing' (s. ἵστημι). -- In the secondary sense of `sheep' πρόβατον has replaced the older ὄις.

ἔχις, - εως of toch PG [Pre-Greek]?

Grammatical information: m. (f.)

Meaning: `viper' (Att.).

Derivatives: Dimin. ἐχίδιον (Arist.) and the plant-name ἔχιον (Dsc.; because of the resemblance of the fruit with the head of a snake, Strömberg Pflanzennamen 54), ἐχίειον (Nic.); further ἐχιῆες pl. = ἔχεις (Nic. Th. 133, only metrical variant?; cf. also Boßhardt 148); ἐχῖτις f. name of a stone (Plin., after the colour; cf. Redard Les noms grecs en - της 54). - Fem. ἔχιδνᾰ `viper' (Ion.-Att., Hes. Th. 297), mostly thought to be a ια-deriv. from *ἐχιδνός (Schwyzer 475; see Specht Ursprung 229 and 377), with ἐχιδν-αῖος and - ήεις (hell.); this is not very probable, however; - δνα is a typical Pre-Greek suffix; it must have been a loan from Pre-Greek.

Origin: IE [Indo-European] [292] *h₁eǵhi- `snake' (sic; wrong Pok.)

Etymology: If the interpretation of ἐχῖνος is correct, ἔχις must have a palatal ǵh. The comparable words for `snake', Skt. áhi- = Av. aži- like Arm. iž, nust then be connected with ὄφις. Also Welsh euod `Schafwürmer', euon `Pferdewurmer' may belong to ὄφις (Pedersen Vergl. Gramm. 1, 99, Lewis-Pedersen 29, Pok. 44. - Cf. also ἔγχελυς.

Origin: PG [a word of Pre-Greek origin]

Etymology: Popular word, because of the uncertain meaning hard to assess. Several proposals of doubtful value from old and new times: ἀπὸ τοῦ μολεῖν καὶ παραγίνεσθαι πρὸς βορὰν καὶ τροφήν (sch. Lyc. 775); from μέλας, μολύνω and τὰ ὄβρια, ὀβρίκαλα `the young of animals' (Curtius 370); to βλιβρόν λαγρόν H. and βλάβη (Fick BB 28, 97; agreeing Bechtel Lex. s.v. and Hist. Personennamen 502); from *μολός `runner, shoot' (cf. μολεύω) and βορά (Grošelj Živa Ant. 2, 212f.); s. also Reynen Herm. 85, 142 w. n. 2. - Neumann HS 105(1992) 75-80 derives it form *μολος, Skt. málam `dirt' (from * melo- or * molHo-) and the root * gʷrh₃- `eat' in βιβρώσκω; but -*gʷr̥Ho- would have given *-βαρο-.

Chantraine Gramm. hom. 1, 20; after Solmsen Wortforsch. 240 n. 1, Schwyzer 562 however - είας \< - έας as metr. lengthening) and Έρμάν from Έρμάων for *Έρμά̄Ϝων (like ΠοσειδάϜων a. o.) represent two diff. types of name. The latter is rejected by Myc. emaa₂, \/Hermāhās\/. - The derivation from K. O. Müller, accepted a. o. by von Wilamowitz ( Glaube 1, 159 and 285) and Nilsson (Gr. Rel. 1, 503f.), proposing connection with 1. ἕρμα, is linguistically (Schwyzer 562 n. 1) possible; both Έρμ-είας and Έρμ-ά(Ϝ)ων seem to be normal types of name that can be combined with ἕρμα. In this view Έρμῆς would have been named after "the pillar which represents him" (Wil.) or simply "he of the heaps of stone" (Nilsson). But ἕρμα does not mean pillar nor does not mean `heap of stones' (therefore ἕρμαξ, ἑρμεών); also ἑρμαῖος λόφος π 471 can indicate only the heap of ἕρματα. - The resemblance with ἑρμηνεύς induced Boßhardt Die Nomina auf - ευς 36f. (with doubtful linguistic analysis) to consider Έρμῆς, "the companion of gods and men", as the the primeval interpreter projected under the gods"; the appellative Έρμῆς would itself be Pre-Greek; thus also Schwyzer 62, Chantraine Formation 125. - The Myc. form shows that it is an unanalysable Pre-Greek name. See Ruijgh, REG (1967) 12.
