117 ὄμφαξ
ὄμφαξ, - ᾰκοςGrammatical information: f. (late also m.).Meaning: `herling, unripe sour bunch of grapes' (η 125), also of olives (Poll.); metaph. of a younge girl, an undeveloped nipple etc. (poet.).Derivatives: 1. ὀμφάκιον n. `juice of unripe grapes or olives' (Hp., pap.); 2. ὀμφακίς, - ίδος f. `cup of a certain kind of oak' (Paul. Aeg.; because of the contracting astringent taste); 3. ὀμφακ-ίας ( οἶνος) m. `herling wine' (Gal.), metaph. = `sour, unripe' (Ar., Luc.; cf. Chantraine Form. 94 f.); - ίτης ( οἶνος) m. `id.', also name of a stone (Gal.; codd. - τίτης), - ῖτις f. of ἐλαίη (Hp.), `kind of oakapple' (Dsc., Gal.; Redard 58, 98, 75, 114); 4. ὀμφακώδης 'ὄ.-like' (Hp., Arist.), - ινος `made of ὄ.' (Hp., pap.), - ηρὰ ( ἀγγεῖα) n. pl. `vessels for ὄ.' (medic., pap.); 5. ὀμφακίζω 'to be ὄ., i.e. sour, unripe', also of other fruits (LXX, Dsc.), - ίζομαι `to pick sour wine grapes' (Epich.).Origin: PG [a word of Pre-Greek origin]Etymology: Unexplained, perh. a foreign word (cf. Chantraine Form. 377). On itself ὄμφ-αξ could come from an unattested *ὀμφων ( = Lat. umbō etc.; s. ὀμφαλός); the semantic explanation "navellike knob" (WP. 1, 130, Pok. 315, similar Grošelj Živa Ant. 2, 21 3 f. with wrong further conclusions) can hardly be considered as convincing. Another, certainly wrong explanation in Curtius 294. -- Wrong also Lagercrantz KZ 35, 285ff. (s. Bq). - Furnée 341 connects ἀμφίας `a bad Sicilian wine' and ἀμφής οἴνου ἄνθος. οἱ δε μέλανα οἶνον H. The variation would point to Pre-Greek. (The suffix - αξ is typically Pre-Greek.)Page in Frisk: 2,392Greek-English etymological dictionary (Ελληνικά-Αγγλικά ετυμολογική λεξικό) > ὄμφαξ
