121 μύαξ
μύαξ, - ᾰκοςGrammatical information: m.Meaning: `sea-mussel, its shell' (medic., Plin.); `spoon' (from `shell'; medic.).Origin: PG [a word of Pre-Greek origin]Etymology: Formation as ἀσπάλαξ, μέμβραξ, ὕραξ and other animals' names (Chantraine Form. 378f.). Like μυΐσκη, - ος `id.' prob. from μῦς, which can also mean `mussel'; cf. also Lat. mūsculus also `mussel'; s. Strömberg Fischnamen 109. Diff. Fick a.o. (s. WP. 2, 251): to a word for `moss' in Lat. muscus a.o.; cf. esp. NHG Mies-muschel. Diff. again L. Meyer 4, 291: to μύω `shut (oneself)'. -- With μύαξ can be identical Lat. mūrex `purple (snail)' as inherited word, s. W.-Hofmann s.v. For Mediterranan origin of mūrex Ernout-Meillet; thus also on μύαξ Chantraine Form. 378; DELG rejects all hypotheses. - The suffix - αξ however is typically Pre-Greek; is it possible that this was added to the IE word *mūs `mouse'?

122 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

123 στάμνος
Grammatical information: m. f.Meaning: `big jar, esp. wine-jar' (IA.).Derivatives: Several diminutives: σταμν-ίον, - άριον n., - ίσκος m. (com., hell. a. late). Surname Σταμνίας m. (Ar.). Denom, verb σταμν-ίζω, only with κατα- and συν-, `to pour into a jar, to transfuse' (Thphr., Nic. a. o.).Origin: PG [a word of Pre-Greek origin]Etymology: Formation like ἐρυμνός (: ἔρυμα), λίμνη (: λιμήν) a. o. (Schwyzer 524 and Chantraine Form. 215 with unfounded doubt (?) regarding the IE etym.). So prob. from a noun *στᾶμα, *σταμήν v. t. `stand, standing place'; prop. "destined to stand, fit for" as opposed to a jug to be carried. Thus στάτος m. (substantivized from στατός) `big jug' (hell. inscr., H.), OHG stanta `jug to be put somewhere', Lith. statìnė `barrel, cask'. A zero grade μ-derivation is also supposed in σταμῖνες (s. v.); comparable formations in other languages are Toch. B stām, A ṣtām `tree' (beside which with the original meaning stäm- `stand' in inf. stam-atsi etc.), OHG stam, gen. stammes `stem', which may stand for PGm. * stamna- (IE * sth₂-mn-o-) (and so would be formally identical with στάμνος), but which may also be explained diff. (WP. 2, 606 f., Pok. 1008). -- Cf. στήμων. -- Alb. LW [loanword] shtâmbë, shtëmbë f. `bottle' (Mann Lang. 17, 23). - Furnée 227, 245 compares στάφος: possible but uncertain. A Pre-Greek word seems more probable to me: a standing thing is not typically a vase.Page in Frisk: 2,777Greek-English etymological dictionary (Ελληνικά-Αγγλικά ετυμολογική λεξικό) > στάμνος

124 Όδυσσεύς
Grammatical information: m.Meaning: son of Laertes and Antikleia, king of the island Ithaka (Il.).Other forms: ep. also Όδυσεύς (metr. shortening?; cf. on Άχιλλεύς). Several byforms with λ (cf. Schwyzer 209 a. 333, Heubeck Praegraeca 24ff.): Όλυσ(σ)εύς, Όλυτ(τ)εύς, Όλισεύς a.o. (vase-inscr.), Οὑλιξεύς (Hdn. Gr.), Lat. Ulixēs; the δ-form is only epic-liter. ascertained.Derivatives: Όδυσήϊος (σ 353). Όδύσσεια f. `the Odyssey' (Hdt., Pl.) with Όδυσσειακός `belonging to Od.' (Hdn. Gr., sch.), τὰ Όδύσσεια `Odyssean games' (Magn. Mae. IIIa); Όλισ-σεῖδαι pl. m. name of a family ( φράτρα) in Thebes and Argos (inscr.).Origin: PG [a word of Pre-Greek origin]Etymology: By the ep. poets (e.g. τ 407 ff.) folketymologicallu connected with ὀδύσσομαι (Linde Glotta 13, 223, Risch Eumusia [Festschr. Howald 1947] 82 f., Stanford ClassPhil. 47, 209 ff.). Modern interpreters sought the origin of the name partly in the Greek West or on the continent, partly in Asia Minor. For western, Illyrian-Epirotic origin Helbig Herm. 11, 281 (doubts by Kretschmer Einl. 280ff. with Ed. Meyer), Krahe IF 49, 143, v. Windekens Herm. 86, 121 ff.

125 asset
Fin, Gen Mgtany tangible or intangible item to which a value can be assigned. Assets can be physical, such as machinery and consumer durables, or financial, such as cash and accounts receivable.Assets are typically broken down into five different categories. Current assets include cash, cash equivalents, marketable securities, inventories, and prepaid expenses that are expected to be used within one year or a normal operating cycle. All cash items and inventories are reported at historical value. Securities are reported at market value. Non-current assets, or long-term investments, are resources that are expected to be held for more than one year. They are reported at the lower of cost and current market value, which means that their values will vary. Fixed assets include property, plants and facilities, and equipment used to conduct business. These items are reported at their original value, even though current values might well be much higher. Intangible assets include legal claims, patents, franchise rights, and accounts receivable. These values can be more difficult to determine. Accounts receivable, for example, reflect the amount a business expects to collect, such as, say, $9,000 of the $10,000 owed by customers. Deferred charges include prepaid costs and other expenditures that will produce future revenue or benefits. -
126 domain name
E-comthe officially registered address of a Web site. Domain names typically contain two or more parts separated from each other by a dot, for example, www.yahoo.com. The domain name suffix (following the final dot) is intended to indicate either the nature or location of the Web site, for example, com for a commercial Web site and co.uk for a British Web site. -

128 Grimthorpe (of Grimthorpe), Edmund Beckett, Baron
SUBJECT AREA: Horology[br]b. 12 May 1816 Newark, Nottinghamshire, Englandd. 29 April 1905 St Albans, Hertfordshire, England[br]English lawyer and amateur horologist who was the first successfully to apply the gravity escapement to public clocks.[br]Born Edmund Beckett Denison, he was educated at Eton and Trinity College, Cambridge, where he studied mathematics, graduating in 1838. He was called to the Bar in 1841 and became a Queen's Counsel in 1854. He built up a large and lucrative practice which gave him the independence to pursue his many interests outside law. His interest in horology may have been stimulated by a friend and fellow lawyer, J.M. Bloxham, who interestingly had invented a gravity escapement with an affinity to the escapement eventually used by Denison. Denison studied horology with his usual thoroughness and by 1850 he had published his Rudimentary Treatise on Clock and Watchmaking. It was natural, therefore, that he should have been invited to be a referee when a disagreement arose over the design of the clock for the new Houses of Parliament. Typically, he interpreted his brief very liberally and designed the clock himself. The most distinctive feature of the clock, in its final form, was the incorporation of a gravity escapement. A gravity escapement was particularly desirable in a public clock as it enabled the pendulum to receive a constant impulse (and thus swing with a constant amplitude), despite the variable forces that might be exerted by the wind on the exposed hands. The excellent performance of the prestigious clock at Westminster made Denison's form of gravity escapement de rigueur for large mechanical public clocks produced in Britain and in many other countries. In 1874 he inherited his father's baronetcy, dropping the Denison name, but later adopted the name Grimthorpe when he was created a Baron in 1886.[br]Principal Honours and DistinctionsPeerage 1886. President, British Horological Institute 1868–1905.BibliographyHis highly idiosyncratic A Rudimentary Treatise on Clocks and Watchmaking first published in 1850, went through eight editions, with slight changes of title, and became the most influential work in English on the subject of public clocks.Further ReadingVaudrey Mercer, 1977, The Life and Letters of Edward John Dent, London, pp. 650–1 (provides biographical information relating to horology; also contains a reliable account of Denison's involvement with the clock at Westminster).A.L.Rawlings, 1948, The Science of Clocks and Watcher, repub. 1974, pp. 98–102 (provides a technical assessment of Denison's escapement).DVBiographical history of technology > Grimthorpe (of Grimthorpe), Edmund Beckett, Baron
