αἴγλη 1.Grammatical information: f.Meaning: `gleam, radiance' (Il.)Derivatives: αἰγλήεις `id.' (Il.).Origin: XX [etym. unknown]Etymology: The connection with Skt. éjati `to move, tremble' (cf. αἰγανέη), e.g. Thumb IF I4, 343f. is rightly rejected by DELG. - The epithets Άπόλλων Άσγελάτας (Anaphe) and Άπόλλων Αἰγλάτας (Anaphe, Thera) are often compared, but I think they are unrelated. It is impossible to explain the form of a `normal' noun from a word showing a variation αἰγλ- \/ ἀσγ(ε)λ-; this variation looks very much like those of Pre-Greek words, and the epithet, of which the meaning is unknown, may well be of Pre-Greek origin; but there is no evidence that the noun is of the same origin. The noun may be of Pre-Greek origin - it has no etymology - but that must not be the same oigin as the epithet. For the epithet see with the names.Page in Frisk: 1,32Greek-English etymological dictionary (Ελληνικά-Αγγλικά ετυμολογική λεξικό) > αἴγλη 1

3 ἄρπεζα
Grammatical information: f.Meaning: `hedge' (Nic.), pl.; cf. ἀρπέζας τοὺς αἱμασιώδεις τόπους. οἱ δε τείχη καὶ περιβόλους. οἱ δε τὰ κλιμακώδη χωρία H.).Other forms: ἄρπεζος f. `ds.' (Mylasa). Cf. further ἄρπισαι αἱμασιαί. η τάφρους and ἄρπιξ εἶδος ἀκάνθης, Κύπριοι H. Also ἀρπάναι· μάνδραι βοσκήματων.Origin: PG [a word of Pre-Greek origin]Etymology: Νο etymology. Connection with ἅρπη, ἁρπεδόνη, ἁρπάζω is not convincing. (Chantraine's suggestion that the basic meaning is `limit of a terrain', and so perhaps connected with ἀρπεδόνη, is improbable: it is something concrete in the terrain, functioning as boundary, like αἱμασία.) The variation - εζα\/- ισα is the typical type of variation found in substr. words.Page in Frisk: 1,150Greek-English etymological dictionary (Ελληνικά-Αγγλικά ετυμολογική λεξικό) > ἄρπεζα

4 αὐχήν
αὐχήν, - ένοςGrammatical information: m.Meaning: `neck, throat; isthmus' (Il.).Other forms: Aeol. acc. ἄμφενα (Theoc. 30. 28). αὔφην in Jo. Gramm. Comp. 3, 16 is very doubtful, cf. Solmsen, Wortforsch. 118 n. 2. ἄμφην· αὐχήν, τράχηλος H.; also ἀμφήν· αὐλήν H.Origin: PG [a word of Pre-Greek origin]Etymology: On ἄμφην beside αὐχήν see Pisani, RiLi 1 (1950) 182f. Schwyzer 296 assumed for ἄμφην *ἀγχϜ-ήν, connecting Skt. aṃhú- `narrow' etc. (s. ἄγχω), which with anticipation of the labial would have given αὐχήν. This is an improbable construction, the process unparallelled. One connects Arm. awji-k` (pl.) `neck', but the connection is quite difficult, Clackson 1994, 107ff. - The variants cannot be explained as Greek or IE, so the word will come from the substr. Variation labial\/velar is rare (Fur. 388, φωριαμός \/ χ.; but cf. γέφυρα \/ βέφυρα); also α\/αυ is rare; m\/w occurs mostly before n or intervocalic (Fur. 242 - 247). Therefore I think we must compare the type δάφνη \/ δαυχνα-, which Furnée 229 - 233 explains as showing variation labial\/w. I think that these forms had a labio-velar, gʷ, which either gave φ (in Aeolic) or - υχ- with anticipation of the labial element (Beekes Pre-Greek). Thus we have *ἀφ-ην\/ αὐ-χήν; ἄμφ-ην then has the well-known prenasalisation. Whatever the exact development, it is clear that substr. origin, and only that, can explain the variants. The Armenian form does not prove IE origin, as it can be a loan from an Anatolian language, cf. γέφυρα - kamurǰ (Beekes, Glotta 2003?).Page in Frisk: 1,192Greek-English etymological dictionary (Ελληνικά-Αγγλικά ετυμολογική λεξικό) > αὐχήν

Redard Les noms grecs en - της 53).Origin: PG [a word of Pre-Greek origin]Etymology: Several variants will be due to folketymology or taboo, and also simple phonetic variation. A priori for all these forms a local, i.e. Pre-Gr. form is to be expected. To this will point the variation α\/ο. This holds also for βαρδακος if this must be read in H. for βαρακος βάραχος (Fur. 184 A. 2; s. Latte). The form may in origin have been onomat.? (cf. Grošelj, Živa Ant. 6 (1956) 235) βρατ-αχ-, cf. βρεκεκεξ. Or even * brt-ak-, from which the forms with - υ- might come ( βύρθακος, βρύτιχος). The desperate forms βριαγχόνη, βρόγχος (this form to be read for βρούχετος?) contain a (misread) prenasalized *( βρατ)αγχος, which would also point to Pre-Greek.

6 βλέπω

(Ar., Schwyzer 512). - Expressive deverb.: βλεπάζοντες βλέποντες and βλεπετύζει βλέπει H., perh. for βλεπετίζει, cf. χρεμετίζει. - On βλέφαρον `eyelid' (Il.) s. below.Origin: PG [a word of Pre-Greek origin]X [probably]Etymology: γλέπω beside βλέπω like γλέφαρον beside βλέφαρον; the variation suggests a labiovelar gu- with irregular development, s. Schwyzer 298f.; v. Blumenthal Hesychst. 21, who points to Maced. γλέπου = βλέπω. Szemerényi, Studia Pagliaro 3, 1969, 236f: from - βλωψ from βάλλω and ὠπ-, `cast a glance'; improbable. It is possible that the verb and the noun βλέφαρον are unrelated; in that case the latter word may have been orig. *γλέφαρον and have influenced the verb. But it seems more probable that they were cognate, β\/γ and π\/φ pointing to a Pre-Gr. word (Fur. 389); but the first variation is rare. Pre-Greek had labio-velars which developed not always in the same way as the inherited equivalents. There is no etym. Perhaps Slav. glipati points to a (European) substratum.Page in Frisk: 1,243Greek-English etymological dictionary (Ελληνικά-Αγγλικά ετυμολογική λεξικό) > βλέπω

7 βόλβιτον
Grammatical information: n.Other forms: - ος m. (Thphr.), βόλβιθος (PMag. Par.; after σπύραθος, σπέλεθος ?, s. Chantr. Form. 367); also βόλιτον, - ος (Cratin.); βόλβιτα ἀφόδευμα βοός H. (i.e. βόλβις), βόλβυθον τὸ αὐτό H.Derivatives: βολίτινος (Ar.); βολίταινα cuttle fish, which smells badly (Arist.), also βολβίτιον (Gal.) and βολβίς (Epich.).Origin: PG [a word of Pre-Greek origin]Etymology: "The usual assumption that βόλιτον arose from βόλβιτον through progressive dissimilation, is hardly convincing" (Frisk). But that βόλβιτον is euphemistical through the influence of βολβός (Frisk) is not very convincing either. To derive βόλιτον from βάλλω, βόλος, and βολεών `Düngerhaufen' leaves the formation unexplained. It is much more natural to assume variation in a Pre-Greek word, which is confirmed by the fact that the suffix - ιτον is known from there (Fur. 163; further 180, 187; further the θ and the υ are typical variations. I wonder whether the variation β\/zero, to which Furnée devotes a chapter, derived from a labial [l]: * balʷ-it-, on which see αὖλαξ and Beekes, Pre-Greek. - The discussions in Frisk and DELG are examples of the wrong approach of Pre-Greek words: explaining away the characteristics of Pre-Greek.Page in Frisk: 1,249Greek-English etymological dictionary (Ελληνικά-Αγγλικά ετυμολογική λεξικό) > βόλβιτον

Schwyzer 198). S. also βερκνίς. - Through Lat. bruchus Fr. bruche.Page in Frisk: 1,271-272Greek-English etymological dictionary (Ελληνικά-Αγγλικά ετυμολογική λεξικό) > βροῦκος

Oettinger, General Linguistics 40, 2003(2000), 71ff. concludes that καγκ- is just a mistake. However, the variation α\/ο is typical for Pre-Greek, as is κ\/χ, so that I see no reason to reject our form. - Of course the word has nothing to do with NHG Hengst etc. (Frisk 838 connects Lith. šankus `mobile', but this cannot be correct as the variation shows that the word is Pre-Greek.) - Note that ab α before υ in the following syllable would have become ο (as in κογχυλ-).Greek-English etymological dictionary (Ελληνικά-Αγγλικά ετυμολογική λεξικό) > καγκύλας

Rather to κάραβος as popular short form; also κουρίς, κωρίς must be popular formations. Bechtel, Gr. Dial. 1, 58 a. 2, 243f. assumed *καϜαρις resp. *κωϜαρις. Cf. Adjarian Mélanges Boisacq 1, 4, who considers καρίς together with Arm. karič `scorpion' as an Asiatic loan. The variation is not understood; DELG pleads for an association with κώρα, κούρα `girl' (hardly understandable).

(Hippiatr.; v. l. for πόρπακας) after κόμπος = `boast'(?).Derivatives: κομβίον = περόνη (Eust., Sch.), κομβώσασθαι στολίσασθαι, κόμβωμα στόλισμα H., κομβώματα = καλλωπίσματα etc. (Suid., H.). Better attested is the hypostasis ἐγκομβόομαι `bind on, draw on' (Epich., hell. Com., 1 Ep. Pet. 5, 5) with ἐγκόμβωμα `protecting upper garment worn by slaves' (Longus, Thd.); further ἀνακομβόομαι `gird oneself' (Gp.).Origin: PG [a word of Pre-Greek origin]Etymology: Technical word without certain explanation. One compares since Fick 1, 383; 3, 71, Zupitza Die germ. Gutt. 22f. on the one hand some Baltoch-Slavic words for `hang etc.', e. g. Lith. kabìnti `hang on, hook on', kìbti `hang on oneself, hook on', S.-Csl. skoba `fibula', Russ. skobá `iron hook, clamp', on the other Gr. σκαμβός `crooked (legs)', Σκόμβος PN (after Bechtel KZ 44, 358 "the limper"); further the isolated Norw. hempa `Kleiderstrippe, strap, handle' (can hardly be separated from hamp `hemp'). "Das Resultat dieser Vergleiche ist offenbar eine sowohl lautlich wie begrifflich wenig befriedigende Approximation." Frisk - Pok. 918, W.-Hofmann s. cambiō and campus, Vasmer s. skobá. - The IE connections are quite dubious. The forms κομβοθηλεία, κομποθηλαία, κομποθήλυκα clearly show a Pre-Greek word (a confusion of κόμβος with κόμπος is improbable, so the variation β\/π points to a Pre-Greek word; note also the variation - εια, - αια (and - υκα!), which we have seen more often in Pre-Greek (Beekes, Pre-Greek, suffixes sub - αι\/- ε(ι)).

Cf. μαπέειν. - For the variation one thinks of Pre-Greek * mr(a)kʷ-, which became βραπ- or βρακ-, with developments differring from the IE labio-velars.Page in Frisk: 2,178Greek-English etymological dictionary (Ελληνικά-Αγγλικά ετυμολογική λεξικό) > μάρπτω

16 μαστροπός
Grammatical information: m. f.Meaning: `procuress'Other forms: also μαστροφός H.Origin: PG [a word of Pre-Greek origin]Etymology: The usual connection with μαίομαι is clearly incorrect, as the variation points to a Pre-Greek word; Fur. 160 compares μάτρυλλος, -α `pimp', ματρυλεῖον `brothel', μαστρυλλεῖον and μάστρυς `pimp'; note the variation σ\/ zero.Page in Frisk: 2,183Greek-English etymological dictionary (Ελληνικά-Αγγλικά ετυμολογική λεξικό) > μαστροπός

17 μολεύω
Grammatical information: v.Meaning: `cut off and transplant the suckers or shoots of trees' (Lex. Att. ap. Poll. 7, 146); μολούειν ἐγκόπτειν τὰς παραφυάδας H.Origin: IE [Indo-European]X [probably] [721] * mel-\/ mol-? `come up, appear'. Or PGX [probably a word of Pre-Greek origin]Etymology: Prob. from *μόλος or *μολεύς `runner', to μολεῖν `go, come, run', s. βλώσκω; μολούειν after κολούειν, cf. H. Petersson Et. Miszellen 18. Here also μόλουρος m. `kind of snake', μολουρίς, - ίδος f. `locust' (Nic.)? I wonder whether the variation is a fact of Greek, and not rather a Pre-Greek phenomenon. (I do not believe with Fur. 388 in a variation μολούω\/ κολούω.)Page in Frisk: 2,250Greek-English etymological dictionary (Ελληνικά-Αγγλικά ετυμολογική λεξικό) > μολεύω

18 μόροξος
Grammatical information: m.Meaning: `sort of pipe-clay, used to bleach clothes' (Gal., Aët.)Other forms: also μόροχθος (Dsc.).Origin: PG [a word of Pre-Greek origin]Etymology: Morphologically and etymologically unclear, foreign word; the variation ξ: χθ could be considered as in ἐπιχθόνιος: ἐπίξενος (?), Έρεχθεύς: Έρεχσέ̄ς (Schwyzer 326). (After Grošelj Živa Ant. 7, 227 to * mer- `glitter, sparkle' (WP. 2, 273f., Pok. 733). - The variation is typical of Pre-Greek, Fur. 263 A. 3.Page in Frisk: 2,256Greek-English etymological dictionary (Ελληνικά-Αγγλικά ετυμολογική λεξικό) > μόροξος

19 ὀξύα
ὀξύα, -ηGrammatical information: f.Meaning: `beech, Fagus silvatica' (Xanth., Thphr.), `spear shaft (made of beechwood), spear' (Archil., E.).Derivatives: ὀξυ-όεις `made of beechwood' ( ἔγχος, δόρυ, II.; Schwyzer 527; hardly with Bechtel Lex. 55, Risch $ 56 e from ὀξύς enlarged), -ϊνος (-έϊνος) `id.' (Thphr., Delos IIIa). On the variation ὀξύα, -η Schwyzer 189; late ὀξέα after ἰτέα, μηλέα a.o.; ὀξεῖα after the adj. Diff. on ὀξέα, - εῖα Kalén Quaest. gramm. gr. 15ff. (w. extensive treatment).Origin: XX [etym. unknown]; PGX [probably a word of Pre-Greek origin]Etymology: With the old IE word for `ash' prob. identical, which also in Alban. got the meaning `beech' (cf. on φηγός). Closest come the Alb., Arm. and Germ. forms: Alb. ah (from * ask- or * osk-), Arm. haçi (from *askii̯o- [ osk-?]), Germ., e.g. OWNo. askr, OHG asc (PGm. * aska-, * aski-); the deviating ὀξύη prob. after ὀξύς (diff., improbable, Bq; after Sánchez Ruipérez Emer.15, 67 old metathesis as in ξύν a.o., untenable). The other languages have a deviating stemformation, which may be connected with old heteroclisis: Balt., e.g. Lith. úos-i-s, Slav., e.g. Russ. jás-en-ъ (both IE * ōs-). To the latter fits Lat. ornus, if from *ŏs-en-o- (- in-o-); quite diff. (to ἐρινεός etc.) Cocco Publ. do XXIII Congr. Luso-Espanhol (Coimbra 1957) 8: 5 f. -- Further forms w. lit. in WP. 1, 184f., Pok. 782, W.-Hofmann s. ornus, Vasmer s. ǰásenъ. - The IE character of these words is far from sure, despite the tradition to compare them; their forms are rather unclear. The variation, hardly sufficiently explained by assuming the intervenience of an adj., may point to a Pre-Greek word. - (Not to ἀχερωΐς<<.)Page in Frisk: 2,400Greek-English etymological dictionary (Ελληνικά-Αγγλικά ετυμολογική λεξικό) > ὀξύα

20 ὀπτάω
Grammatical information: v.Meaning: `to fry, to roast, to bake' (Od.).Other forms: ὀπτεύμενος (Theoc.), aor. ὀπτῆσαι (Il.), ὀπτηθῆναι (Od.), perf. ὤπτηκα, - ημαι (Euphro resp. Ar.), fut. ὀπτήσομαι (Luc.).Derivatives: ὄπτησις f. `the frying' (Miletos Va, Hp., Arist.) with ὀπτήσιμος `fit for frying' (Eub., Arbenz 82), ὀπτ-ήτειρα f. adjunct of κάμινος (Call.). - ητήρια H. as explanation of ὠψά (alphabet. in wrong place, very doubtful); also ὀπτευτήρ m. `smith', of Hephaistos (Coluth. 54 [V--VIp]) as if from *ὀπτεύω; cf. καμινευτήρ a.o. As 2. member in γαστρ-όπτης, f. - όπτις `sausage fryer' (Delos IV--IIIa; cf. Fraenkel Nom. ag. 1, 243 a. 2, 115 with wrong root-analysis). Backformation ἔξ-οπτος `well done' (Hp.), from ἐξ-οπτάω (IA.). -- Beside ὀπτός `fried, roasted, baked' (Od.); with ὀπτ-αλέος `fried, roasted' (Hom., Ath.), first after αὑαλέος a. o. from ὀπτός enlarged; or with old λ: ν-variation(?) with ὀπτανός `fried, fit for frying' (com., Arist.), formed like ἑψανός with related meaning; on the type (Schwyzer 490 n. 3 w. lit.). To ὀπτανός further ὀπτάν-ιον `kitchen' (com., inscr.), - ικός `fit for frying' (pap. IIIp), - εύς m. `kitchen master' (pap.; Bosshardt 66) with - εῖον (-ήϊον) `kitchen' (Plu., Luc., Hdn. Gr.); ὀπτανάριος assator, coctarius Gloss. -- On itself ὀπτασία f. about `the roasting, kiln' ( PHolm. 9, 39 δὸς εἰς ὀπτασίαν ὀπτᾶσθαι), prob. to ὀπτάω after θερμασία v.t.Origin: PG [a word of Pre-Greek origin]X [probably]Etymology: As to the formation ὀπτάω belongs to the verbs in - τάω, ἀρτάω, φοιτάω, οὑτάω etc. (Schwyzer 705). As basis is generally considered and prob. correctly the verbal adj. ὀπτός ( τὰ ὀπτά? Risch $ 112b, questioning). -- Further unclear. The connection with ὀβελός (Schwyzer Festschr. Kretschmer 251) has as root-etymolog a very limited worth. Diff. attempts to connect ὀπτός with πέσσω, in Prellwitz (s. Bq) and Benveniste Origines 157f. - Furnée 263 compares ὄψον `any cooked food', which seems a good possibility; the variation will be Pre-Greek.Page in Frisk: 2,406-407Greek-English etymological dictionary (Ελληνικά-Αγγλικά ετυμολογική λεξικό) > ὀπτάω
