Origin: IE [Indo-European] [64] *h₂rǵ- `white'

Etymology: Agrees with Skt. r̥jrá-, which points to *h₂rǵ-ro- \> *ἀργρος, which by dissimilation became ἀργός; ἀργι- agrees with Skt. r̥ji- (i: ro from a Caland-system). The root *-h₂(e)rǵ- is found in several languages: Lat. argentum (s. ἄργυρος), Skt. árjuna- `white, light', Toch. A ārki, B arkwi `white', Hitt. h̯arkiš `white, hell'. It is generally assumed that the meaning `white' and `quick' have the same source. S. ἄργεμον, ἀργής, ἄργυρος

Compounds: Many compp., almost all from the shorter stem (cf. below), e.g. στόμ-αργος `chattering, high-sounding' (trag.), to ἀργός (Willis AmJPh 63, 87 ff.: `shining' \> `bright' \> `loud'?), if not after γλώσσ-αργος, which could stand for γλώσσ-αλγος (s. on γλῶσσα w. lit.); Blanc RPh. 65, 1991, 59-66 analyses the word as στόμα + μάργος `furious', also BAGB 1996\/1, 8-9; cf. also Πόδ-αργος (s. πούς); on στομα-κάκη s. κακός; εὔ-στομος `with a beautiful mouth, speaking nicely', also = `silent' (Hdt., X. etc.); beside it, quite rarely, στοματ-ουργός `working with one's mouth, grandiloquent' (Ar.). κακο-στόματος (AP) for κακό-στομος (E. a.o.).

Derivatives: 1. στόμ-ιον n. `mouth, opening, denture, bit, bridle' (IA.), rarely `mouth' (Nic.), with - ίς f. `halter' (Poll.); ἐπι-στομ-ίζω `to put in a bit' (Att.), also `to shut up one's mouth' (late). 2. στόμ-ις m. `hard-mouthed horse' (A.

(Afric., Suid.). 3. - ώδης `speaking nicely' (S.), `savoury' (Sor.). 4. - ίζομαι `to take in the mouth' (Aq.), w. prefix, e.g. ἀπο-στομίζω `to remove the edge' (Philostr.). 5. - όω ( ἀνα- στόμα a.o.) `to stop the mouth, to provide with an opening, edge, to harden' (IA.) with - ωμα n. `mouth' (A.), `hardening, which is hardened, steel' (Cratin., Arist., hell. a. late), - ωμάτιον (Gloss.), - ωσις f. `hardening' (S., hell a. late), - ωτής = indurator (gloss.). -- Besides στομάτ-ιον n. dimin. (Sor.), - ικός `belonging to the mouth' (medic. a.o.), ἀπο-στοματ-ίζω `to repeat, to interrogate etc.' (Pl., Arist. etc.). -- On στόμαχος, στωμύλος s. vv.

Origin: IE [Indo-European] [1035] * steh₃men- `mouth'

Etymology: The etymol. unclear στόμα has secondarily joined the verbal nouns in - μα (Schwyzer 524 w. n. 5), with which the strong predilection for the short form στομ- in compp. and derivv. may be connected (cf. Georgacas Glotta 36, 163). But the n-stem is old and is found not only in Av. staman- m. `mouth (of a dog)' but also in Celtic, e.g. Welsh safn `jaw-bone'. So we must reconstruct * steh₃m-, which was in Greek replaced by the zero grade (* sth₃m-); on the short a of Avestan see Lubotsky Kratylos 42(1997) 56f. -- Far remain however the Germ. words for `voice', Goth. stibna, OHG stimna, stimma etc. and the Hitt. word for `ear', ištam-ana-, - ina-, prob. denominativ from ištamašzi `hear' (Frisk GHÅ 57, 19ff. = Kl. Schr. 79ff. w. lit.; diff. Kronasser Etymologie II 399).
