1 περισσός
περισσός, ή, όν (cp. πέριξ and s. three next entries; Hes., Hdt.+. Prim.: ‘exceeding the usual number or size’; Gignac I 146)① pert. to that which is not ordinarily encountered, extraordinary, remarkable (Pla., Apol. 20c οὐδὲν τῶν ἄλλων περισσὸν πραγματεύεσθαι; BGU 417, 22 περισσὸν ποιήσω=I am going to do someth. extraordinary; En 102:7) τί περισσὸν ποιεῖτε; what are you doing that is remarkable? Mt 5:47 (cp. Plut., Mor. 233a τί οὖν μέγα ποιεῖς; what, then, are you doing that is so great?—ELombard, L’Ordinaire et l’Extraordinaire [Mt 5:47]: RTP 15, 1927, 169–86). Subst. τὸ περισσόν the advantage (WSchubart, Der Gnomon des Idios Logos 1919, 102 [II A.D.]) τὸ π. τοῦ Ἰουδαίου the advantage of the Judean (Jew) Ro 3:1 (s. Ἰουδαῖο 2a). LCerfaux, Le privilège d’Israël sel. s. Paul: ETL 17, ’40, 5–26.② pert. to being extraordinary in amount, abundant, profuseⓐ going beyond what is necessary περισσὸν ἔχειν have (someth.) in abundance J 10:10 (cp. X., Oec. 20, 1 οἱ μὲν περισσὰ ἔχουσιν, οἱ δὲ οὐδὲ τὰ ἀναγκαῖα δύνανται πορίζεσθαι; Plut., Mor. 523d). For περισσότερον J 10:10 P75 s. περισσότερο c.ⓑ superfluous, unnecessary (Trag. et al.; cp. 2 Macc 12:44; TestJob 47:1) περισσόν μοί ἐστιν τὸ γράφειν ὑμῖν it is unnecessary for me to write to you 2 Cor 9:1 (Mitt-Wilck. I/2, 238 II, 4 περισσὸν ἡγοῦμαι διεξοδέστερον ὑμῖν γράφειν). περισσὸν ἡγοῦμαι I consider it superfluous (Appian, Prooem. 13 §50; Jos., Ant. 3, 215; cp. Philo, Agr. 59) Dg 2:10. W. ἄχρηστος 4:2.③ in the comparative sense; περισσός together w. its adv. and comp. is a colloquial substitute for μᾶλλον, μάλιστα as well as for πλείων, πλεῖστος (B-D-F §60, 3; Rob. 279; KKrumbacher, ByzZ 17, 1908, 233). τό περισσὸν τούτων whatever is more than this, whatever goes beyond this Mt 5:37 (on the gen. s.

9 ἄζω 1
ἄζω 1.Grammatical information: v.Meaning: `dry, parch' (Il.).Other forms: Mostly intr. ἅζομαι.Derivatives: Hell. ἄζα `dryness, heat' as in σάκος... πεπαλαγμένον ἄζῃ (χ 184) often taken as `mould', which seems unnecessary, cf. ἅζα ἅσβολος κόνις, παλαιότης· κόπρος ἐν ἀγγείῳ ὑπομείνασα H. - Adj. ἀζαλέος `dry' (Il.), cf. ἰσχαλέος, αὑσταλέος (no l\/n-stem with ἀζάνομαι). Unclear ἀζαυτός παλαιότη καὶ κόνις H.Etymology: Problematic is ἄδδαυον· ξηρόν H. A compound with αὖος is improbable; Latte corrects in *ἀδδανον. - Nearest cognate seems Czech. OPol. ozd `dried malt', Czech. Slov. ozditi `to dry malt', idg. * h₂esd-. With velar Gm. words, Goth. azgo, OHG. asca `ashes'. Without the final cons. Lat. āreo `be dry', prob. also āra, OLat. āsa `altar' which is found also in Hitt. h̯ašša- `hearth'. The Latin long ā is explained from a perfect * h₂e-h₂s- \> ās- (Lubotsky, KZ 98 (1985) 1-10). Further Skt. ā́sa- m. `ashes, dust' (which may continue * h₂oso-). S. also Specht Ursprung 201, 219, 232. (Not here ἄσβολος.).

10 ἀκήρατος
Grammatical information: adj.Meaning: `undamaged', also `pure' (Il.)Other forms: ἀκέραιος `undamaged' (Hdt.)Derivatives: ἀκηράσιος (Od.)Origin: IE [Indo-European] [578] *ḱerh₂- `damage'Etymology: Epic and poet. It is unnecessary to assume a second, independent word meaning `pure' (Od.), as Frisk does. The comparable form ἀκήριος `undamaged' is prob. derived from κῆρ, s. s.v. Prob. ἀκήρατος (not from κηρ-αίνω A. Supp. 999, which is a late formation from κήρ), is metrical lengthening for *ἀ-κέρα-τος from the stem of κερα-ίζω, perhaps with influence of κήρ; cf. ἀκέραιος. In some cases the meaning may have been influenced by κεράννυμι `to mix'. Lee Glotta 39 (1961) 191-205 connects κείρω.Page in Frisk: 1,52-53Greek-English etymological dictionary (Ελληνικά-Αγγλικά ετυμολογική λεξικό) > ἀκήρατος

11 ἄκορνα
Grammatical information: f.Meaning: `fish thistle, Cnicus Acarna' (Thphr.).Other forms: ( σ)όρνος s. below.Origin: PG [a word of Pre-Greek origin]Etymology: On final short α see Chantr. Form. 100ff. Strömberg Wortstudien 17 compares κόρνος κεντρομυρσίνη, Σικελοί H. and σκόρνος κόρνος, μυρσίνη τὸ φυτόν; the ἀ- a prothetic vowel, not through connection with ἀκ- `sharp'. That ἀκορνός ( ὀκορνός) `grasshopper' would come from ἄκορνα, with Strömberg, because grasshoppers live below thistles and feed on them, seems unnecessary, but cf. ἀκανθίας `grasshopper' beside ἄκανθα.The variation ἀ-\/σ-\/zero, the - ρν- and the short -α all point to a Pre-Greek word.Page in Frisk: 1,55Greek-English etymological dictionary (Ελληνικά-Αγγλικά ετυμολογική λεξικό) > ἄκορνα

12 ἄλπνιστος
Grammatical information: adj.Meaning: See below. (Pi. I. 5 (4), 12)Other forms: ἔπαλπνος `amiable' (Pi. P. 8, 84) = ἡδύς, προσηνής (Sch.); ἀλπαλέον ἀγαπητόν H., from which (perhaps) ἁρπαλέος (influenced by ἁρπάζω; the gloss ἁπάλιμα· ἁρπακτά, προσφιλῆ shows the double meaning; cf. also ἁρπαλίζομαι· ἀσμένως δέχομαι H.). Here also the PN Άλπονίδης (inscr. Karthaia), Bechtel Namenstudien 5f., from ῎Αλπων.Dialectal forms: ἄλπαρ inscr. Crete; uncertain.Origin: XX [etym. unknown]Etymology: For ἄλπνιστος Wackernagel KZ 43, 377 reads *ἄλπιστος, a primary superlative formation and attested as PN (A. Pers. 982; but text uncertain). The assumption of an old r\/n-stem, once popular, is unnecessary (the Cretan form would point to it). - ἀλπ- as *Ϝαλπ-, zero grade of *Ϝελπ- in ἔλπομαι, ἐλπίς, is doubtful (one expects *Ϝλαπ-).Page in Frisk: 1,78Greek-English etymological dictionary (Ελληνικά-Αγγλικά ετυμολογική λεξικό) > ἄλπνιστος

(ε 3603Derivatives: ἀρακτῆρα· ἀμελκτῆρα H. derived from ἀράκτηνOrigin: PG [a word of Pre-Greek origin]Etymology: The form with - κτ- proves a substr. word (Fur. index). (It is unnecessary to assume - α- in ἀρκίδων.) Fur. 308, 319 further compares ἄροκλον (Nic. fr. 129) = φιάλη, with κτ \> κλ for which he gives parallels; α\/ο is well known in substr. words.Page in Frisk: 1,128Greek-English etymological dictionary (Ελληνικά-Αγγλικά ετυμολογική λεξικό) > ἄρακις

14 ἕδνα
Grammatical information: n. pl.Meaning: `bride-gift' (Il.; on the meaning Köstler WienAkAnz. 81 [1944] 6ff., Theiler Mus. Helv. 7, 114 w. lit.).Compounds: ἀνά-εδνος `withou ἕ.' (Il.; on the prefix Schwyzer 432, Chantr. Gramm. hom. 1, 182).Derivatives: Also ἄεδνον ἄφερνον η πολύφερνον H.; ἑδνο-φορέω `bring bride-gifts' (Eust.). - Old denomin. ἑδνόομαι ( ἐεδν-), - όω `give ἕ. to one's daughter' (β 53) with ἐεδνωτής `brides father' (Ν 382; cf. Fraenkel Nom. ag. 1, 25; 2, 206). - Several glosses in Hesych: ἕδνιος χιτών ὅν πρῶτον ἡ νύμφη τῳ̃ νυμφίῳ δίδωσιν; ἑδνάς ἡ ἀπὸ τῶν ἕδνων ἐδητύς, ἑδνεύειν ἐνεχυράζειν.Origin: IE [Indo-European] [1115] *h₁u̯ed- `bride-price'.Etymology: With ἕδνα, ἕδνον from IE *u̯ed-no- (on the aspir. Schwyzer 227) compare Slavic and a Westgermanic word for `bride-price': e. g. ORuss. věno, from *u̯ed-no- acc. to Winter-Kortlandt; not better to Lat. vēnum [ dare]; see. Vasmer Russ. et. Wb. s. véno [1, 182f.]; OE. weotuma, OHG widomo m., from PGerm. * wet-man-, IE *u̯ed-mon-; (the Gr.-Slav. no-suffix may be from - mno-, themat. of - mon-). - Uncertain Alb. vigjë `present, in the form of edibles, for a wedding etc.' (\< *u̯ed-l- ?). - This old word for `bride-price' is generally derived from a verb `(take home), marry (of the man)', which is seen in Lith. vedù, OCS vedo (with -dh because of the short vowel), OIr. fedid. - Skt. vadhū́- `bride, young woman, daughter-in-law', which one would not like to separate from the words discussed, is because of the dh incompatible with ἕδνα or Germ. weotuma. - It is clear that ἕδν- is the younger, ἔεδν- the older form. The `prothesis' (from * h₁-) must be old, as it cannot be secondary and is unnecessary.Page in Frisk: 1,442-443Greek-English etymological dictionary (Ελληνικά-Αγγλικά ετυμολογική λεξικό) > ἕδνα

15 ἑλεῖν
Grammatical information: v.Meaning: `take, get into one's power', med. `take to himself, choose' (Il.).Other forms: Aor., iterative-preterite ἕλεσκονCompounds: Often with prefix: ἀφ-, ἀν-, ἐξ-, προ- usw. As 1. in ἑλέ-π(τ)ολις `conquering cities' surname of Helena (A. Ag. 689 [lyr.]), also name of a siege machine (Ph. Bel.); ἑλένα\<υ\>ς (A. ibid.) with reference to Helena.Derivatives: ἕλωρ n. (only in nom.-acc. sg. and pl.) `plunder, capture, booty' (Il.); also (Schwyzer 470, n. 4) ἑλώριον `id.'.Origin: XX [etym. unknown]Etymology: As some places suggest an anl. Ϝ- (diff. Solmsen Unt. 251 n. 1), Chantraine Form. 219, Gramm. hom. 1, 152 considers an alternation * swel-\/ sel- and connection with ἁλίσκομαι, Lat. vellō (unclear). Beside ἑλεῖν Germanic has a jot present Goth. saljan `offer, sacrifice', ONord. selja `render, sell', OHG sellen `render, give up' etc. (evt Gr. *ὁλέω) with the postverbal nouns ONord. sal(a) `rendition, sale', OHG sala `rendering' etc. Because of the meaning it is generally considered as a causative to ἑλεῖν ("nehmen machen"), which is unnecessary, cf. αἴνυμαι, also e. g. ONord. fā (= Goth. fahan) `take' and `give'. OCS sъlati `send' is doubtful, as is Lat. cōn-silium, s. Vasmer Russ. et. Wb. s. slatь and W.-Hofmann s. v. - As suppletive verb to ἑλεῖν we have αἱρέω (s. v.).Page in Frisk: 1,487-488Greek-English etymological dictionary (Ελληνικά-Αγγλικά ετυμολογική λεξικό) > ἑλεῖν

19 κάλχη
Grammatical information: f.Meaning: `murex, purple flower, Chrysanthemum coronarium' (Alcm., Nic., Str.), metaph. as building term `rosette of a capital' (Att., hell., inscr.).Derivatives: - Denomin. verb καλχαίνω, prop. in med. `be purple' (Nic. Th. 641), metaphor. trans. `ponder deeply' ( ἔπος, S. Ant. 20), intr. `be unquiet, excited' (E. Herakl. 40), `long for' (Lyc. 1457).Origin: PG [a word of Pre-Greek origin]Etymology: - The meaning `ponder, be excited', may have arisen after πορφύρα: πορφύρω, which were connected with each other. The comparison with OE gealg `sad, dark' (Holthausen IF 20, 322; WP. 1, 540) is unnecessary. - Whether also the name of the seer Κάλχας as "the toiler" belongs here (Carnoy Les ét. class. 24, 102), is quite uncertain.

Ruijgh L'élément achéen 123f.Origin: XX [etym. unknown]Etymology: The difficulty of finding an example for the θ-suffix, has resulted in many attempts to cennect κέλευθος with ἐλευθ- in ἐλεύσομαι etc. Thus Brugmann Sächs. Ber. 1897, 28 ( κέλευθος contaminated from κελεύειν and ἐλευθ-), Pisani Rend. Acc. Lincei 6: 5, 9 (from κε- in κεῖνος a. o. and ἐλευθ-; against this Kretschmer Glotta 20, 253), id. Ist. Lomb. 77, 552f. (from *κελο-λευθος; from κέλομαι). Diff., not better, Fraenkel Mélanges Boisacq 1, 373ff.: κέλευθος reshaped after κέλομαι for *κλεῦθος (to κλύω, s. v.). Direct connection with κελεύειν suggested by Specht Ursprung 254 and 280, whereby he identifies, not very probably, the suffix θ as IE. th in Skt. pánthāḥ `road' (see on πόντος) and in Lith. keliū́ta `road'. The last is clearly built on kẽli-as `road, street, course' and has no direct connection with κέλευθος; cf. Fraenkel KZ 72, 177. Nor can au in the denomin. keli-áuti `voyage, travel' and ευ in κέλευθος be identified (as Fraenkel Lit. et. Wb. s. kẽlias).Page in Frisk: 1,815-816Greek-English etymological dictionary (Ελληνικά-Αγγλικά ετυμολογική λεξικό) > κέλευθος
