  • 4 σπέρχομαι

    Grammatical information: v.
    Meaning: Act. σπέρχω, mostly with ἐπι-, κατα-, περι-, `to come rushing in, to huddle, to be upset, to be impassioned'; act. w. ἐπι-, κατα- also trans. `to press, to incite, to spur' (mostly ep. poet., Il.).
    Other forms: only pres. stem except aor. pass. ptc. σπερχθείς (Pi., Hdt.) and fut. σπέρξομαι ὀργισθήσομαι, aor. ἐσπερξάμην ἠπείλησα, ὠργίσθην H.
    Derivatives: As 2. member in περι-, ἐπι-σπερχής `hurried' (S., X. a.o.) to περι-, ἐπι-σπέρχω; but ἀ-σπερχές `vigorous, intense' (Hom.) from *σπέρχος n., beside which σπερχ-νός `swift, hasty, violent' (Hes. Sc., Hp., A. a. o.) as in e.g. ἔρεβος: ἐρεμνός. Here σπέργδην ἐρρωμένως and κατασπερχάδην (cod. - άτην) H. (explanation: spoiled; s. Latte ad loc.); σπερχυλλάδην κέκραγας ( Com. Adesp. 30). PN like Σπερχ-ύλος, - ων, - ις, FlN Σπερχ-ειός (like Άλφειός, Πηνειός).
    Origin: IE [Indo-European] [998] *sperǵh- `hurry'
    Etymology: Beside the full grade primary σπέρχομαι Iran. has an also primary but zero grade ipf. Av. a-spǝrǝzatā `he was diligently exerting himself', in Skt. a zero grade secondary formation spr̥hayati (would be Greek *σπαρχέω) `be zealous, zealously desire' (since Curtius 195). Much less certain is the connection of Germ., e.g. OHG springan `spring' from assumed IE *spr-en-ǵh- with nasalinfix (WP. 2, 675, Pok. 998 with Persson Stud. 27; s. the lit. in WP. l. c.).
