  • 5 κερκίς

    Grammatical information: f.
    Meaning: `weaver's shuttle' (Il.); metaph. of comparable objects, e. g. `great bone of the leg, tibia' (A. R., Heroph. Med.), `wedge-shaped division of the seats in the theater' (hell.); as tree-name a. o. `asp, Populus tremula' (Arist., Thphr.). The meaning are discussed by R. Martin, REGr. 80 (1967) 319f.
    Compounds: As 1. member in κερκιδοποιική ( τέχνη) `the art of a κερκιδοποιός' (Arist.); as 2. member in παρα-κερκίς f. `splint-bone' (Poll.).
    Derivatives: Diminutives κερκίδιον (pap.); κερκιδιαῖον `wedge-shaped spool' (Attica); κερκίζω `use the weaver's shuttle' (Pl., Arist.) with κέρκισις `weaving' (Arist.), κερκιστική ( τέχνη) `art of weaving' (Pl.), κέρκιστρα n. pl. `weaver's wages' (pap.). Further also κερκάδαι pl. `the weavers', name of a society of weavers (Argos); cf. Fraenkel Nom. ag. 1, 176.
    Origin: PG [a word of Pre-Greek origin]X [probably]
    Etymology: Unknown. Diminutive of κέρκος (s. v.), in the original sense of *`stave, rod' (cf. Vendryes REGr. 25, 461). Not with Prellwitz to the group of κρέξ (after the humming of the weaver's shuttle). Techmical word that seems rather Pre-Greek.

  • 6 μυῖα

    Grammatical information: f.
    Meaning: `fly' (Il.).
    Other forms: also μῦα
    Compounds: Some compp., e.g. μυ(ι)ο-σόβη f. `fan against flies, fly-flap' (Delos IIIa, Men.), μύωψ m. `horse-fly; goad, spur' (s. v.), κυνά-μυια f. `dog-fly' (s. v.).
    Derivatives: 1. μυϊ̃τις, - ιδος f. = θλάσπι, `Capsella bursa pastoris' (Ps.-Dsc.; Redard 71), also μυιό-πτερον (ibd.), as the separating wall of the fruit was compared with the wing of a fly (Strömberg Pflanzennamen 55). -- 2. μυιϊκός `belonging to a fly' (gloss.), μυιώδης name of a god in Elis, who was also called μυί-αγρος "fly-catcher" (Plin.). -- 3. μυΐνδα παίζειν `play the game μυῖα χαλκῆ' (Poll., H.).
    Origin: IE [Indo-European] [752]
    Etymology: Formation with ι̯α-suffix like νῆσσα, κίσσα and other animals' names (Chantraine Form. 98). Old word for `fly, mosquito', found in several languages, but because of its popular character subject to all kinds of transformations. PGr. *μύσ-ι̯α, from where μυῖα, agrees best with Lith. mus-ià, mus-ė̃ `fly' and with Slav., e.g. OCS mьš-i-ca `mosquito'. Beside it with k-suffix Lat. mus-ca `fly', with n-suffix Arm. mun, gen. mn-oy `mosquito', if from * mus-no-. Also an s-less basis * mu-no- is possible as a.o. in OWNo. my n. from PNord. *mū-i̯a- n. There are also forms with (secondarily developped ?) velar: Germ., e.g. OHG mucka ' Mücke', with ou-diphthong: Slav., e.g. OCS and Russ. múcha `fly' (IE * mousā) etc., s. WP. 2, 311, Pok. 752, W.-Hofmann s. musca, Fraenkel s. musė̃, Vasmer s. móška; everywhere more forms; on the morphology also Specht Ursprung 43, 203 a. 235. -- Onomatop. origin (from the humming) is quite possible, s. e.g. W.-Hofmann.
