3 λογάδες

λογάδες

Grammatical information: pl. f. (sg. Poll. 2, 70)

Meaning: `whites of the eye, τὰ λευκὰ τῶν ὀφθαλμῶν' (Sophr. 49, Call. Fr. 132, Nic. Th. 292), also = `eyes' (AP 5, 269).

Origin: GR [a formation built with Greek elements]X [probably]

Etymology: Metaphorical use of λογάδες ( λίθοι) `picked, chosen', i.e. `unworked stones, rolling(?) stones' as opposed to `cut stones' (Paus. 7, 22, 5); cf. also λογάδην `through accidental selection', of stones (Th.), λιθο-λόγος (- έω, - ία) `who works with uncut rolling(?) stones' (opposite λιθο-τόμος, - ουργός); note however the alternative explanation of λογάδας as ' ψήφους λευκάς' in H. Thus(?) Swed. ögon-sten `eye-ball', prop. "eyestone". - Wrong EM 572, 42 (to λοξόομαι, λοξός), Zupitza German. Gutt. 215 (to OE lōcian `look' etc.; WP. 2, 381), Bechtel Dial. 2, 284 (to λέγνον `border'; s. v.). Further s. λέγω; cf. also on λωγάλιοι. - Fur. 363 etc. connects λύγδος `white marble': needs further adstruction.
