1 ὡς
ὡς (Hom.+; loanw. in rabb.) relative adv. of the relative pron. ὅς. It is used as① a comparative particle, marking the manner in which someth. proceeds, as, likeⓐ corresponding to οὕτως=‘so, in such a way’: σωθήσεται, οὕτως ὡς διὰ πυρός he will be saved, (but only) in such a way as (one, in an attempt to save oneself, must go) through fire (and therefore suffer fr. burns) 1 Cor 3:15. τὴν ἑαυτοῦ γυναῖκα οὕτως ἀγαπάτω ὡς ἑαυτόν Eph 5:33; cp. vs. 28. ἡμέρα κυρίου ὡς κλέπτης οὕτως ἔρχεται 1 Th 5:2. The word οὕτως can also be omitted ἀσφαλίσασθε ὡς οἴδατε make it as secure as you know how = as you can Mt 27:65. ὡς οὐκ οἶδεν αὐτός (in such a way) as he himself does not know = he himself does not know how, without his knowing (just) how Mk 4:27. ὡς ἀνῆκεν (in such a way) as is fitting Col 3:18. Cp. 4:4; Eph 6:20; Tit 1:5 (cp. Just., A I, 3, 1 ὡς πρέπον ἐστίν). ὡς πᾶσα γυνὴ γεννᾷ GJs 11:2; ὡς ἀπεκαλύφθη AcPlCor 1:8.ⓑ special usesα. in ellipses (TestAbr A 12 p. 90, 22 [Stone p. 28] θρόνος … ἐξαστράπτων ὡς πῦρ; TestJob 20:3 χρήσασθαι … ὡς ἐβούλετο; JosAs 12:7 πρὸς σὲ κατέφυγον ὡς παιδίον ἐπὶ τὸν πατέρα) ἐλάλουν ὡς νήπιος I used to speak as a child (is accustomed to speak) 1 Cor 13:11a; cp. bc; Mk 10:15; Eph 6:6a; Phil 2:22; Col 3:22. ὡς τέκνα φωτὸς περιπατεῖτε walk as (is appropriate for) children of light Eph 5:8; cp. 6:6b. ὡς ἐν ἡμέρᾳ as (it is one’s duty to walk) in the daylight Ro 13:13. The Israelites went through the Red Sea ὡς διὰ ξηρᾶς γῆς as (one travels) over dry land Hb 11:29. οὐ λέγει ὡς ἐπὶ πολλῶν ἀλλʼ ὡς ἐφʼ ἑνός he speaks not as one would of a plurality (s. ἐπί 8), but as of a single thing Gal 3:16.—Ro 15:15; 1 Pt 5:3. Also referring back to οὕτως (GrBar 6:16 ὡς γὰρ τὰ δίστομα οὕτως καὶ ὁ ἀλέκτωρ μηνύει τοῖς ἐν τῷ κόσμῳ like articulate beings the rooster informs earth’s inhabitants) οὕτως τρέχω ὡς οὐκ ἀδήλως I run as (a person) with a fixed goal 1 Cor 9:26a. Cp. ibid. b; Js 2:12.β. ὡς and the words that go w. it can be the subj. or obj., of a clause: γενηθήτω σοι ὡς θέλεις let it be done (= it will be done) for you as you wish Mt 15:28. Cp. 8:13; Lk 14:22 v.l. (for ὅ; cp. ὡς τὸ θέλημά σου OdeSol 11:21). The predicate belonging to such a subj. is to be supplied in οὐχ ὡς ἐγὼ θέλω (γενηθήτω) Mt 26:39a.—ἐποίησεν ὡς προσέταξεν αὐτῷ ὁ ἄγγελος he did as (= that which) the angel commanded him (to do) Mt 1:24; cp. 26:19 (on the structure s. RPesch, BZ 10, ’66, 220–45; 11, ’67, 79–95; cp. the formula Job 42:9 and the contrasting negation Ex 1:17; s. also Ex 3:21f); 28:15.—Practically equivalent to ὅ, which is a v.l. for it Mk 14:72 (JBirdsall, NovT 2, ’58, 272–75; cp. Lk 14:22 above).γ. ἕκαστος ὡς each one as or according to what Ro 12:3; 1 Cor 3:5; 7:17ab; Rv 22:12. ὡς ἦν δυνατὸς ἕκαστος each person interpreted them as best each could Papias (2:16).δ. in indirect questions (X., Cyr. 1, 5, 11 ἀπαίδευτοι ὡς χρὴ συμμάχοις χρῆσθαι) ἐξηγοῦντο ὡς ἐγνώσθη αὐτοῖς ἐν τῇ κλάσει τοῦ ἄρτου they told how he had made himself known to them when they broke bread together Lk 24:35. Cp. Mk 12:26 v.l. (for πῶς); Lk 8:47; 23:55; Ac 10:38; 20:20; Ro 11:2; 2 Cor 7:15.② a conjunction marking a point of comparison, as. This ‘as’ can have a ‘so’ expressly corresponding to it or not, as the case may be; further, both sides of the comparison can be expressed in complete clauses, or one or even both may be abbreviated.ⓐ ὡς is correlative w. οὕτως=so. οὕτως … ὡς (so, in such a way) … as: οὐδέποτε ἐλάλησεν οὕτως ἄνθρωπος ὡς οὗτος λαλεῖ ὁ ἄνθρωπος J 7:46. ὡς … οὕτως Ac 8:32 (Is 53:7); 23:11; Ro 5:15 (ὡς τὸ παράπτωμα, οὕτως καὶ τὸ χάρισμα, both halves to be completed), 18. ὡς κοινωνοί ἐστε τῶν παθημάτων, οὕτως καὶ τῆς παρακλήσεως as you are comrades in suffering, so (shall you be) in comfort as well 2 Cor 1:7. Cp. 7:14; 11:3 v.l.—ὡς … καί as … so (Plut., Mor. 39e; Ath. 15, 2) Mt 6:10; Ac 7:51; 2 Cor 13:2; Gal 1:9; Phil 1:20.ⓑ The clause beginning w. ὡς can easily be understood and supplied in many cases; when this occurs, the noun upon which the comparison depends can often stand alone, and in these cases ὡς acts as a particle denoting comparison. οἱ δίκαιοι ἐκλάμψουσιν ὡς ὁ ἥλιος the righteous will shine out as the sun (shines) Mt 13:43. ὡς ἐπὶ λῃστὴν ἐξήλθατε συλλαβεῖν με as (one goes out) against a robber, (so) you have gone out to arrest me 26:55 (Mel., P. 79, 574 ὡς ἐπὶ φόνιον λῄστην). γίνεσθε φρόνιμοι ὡς οἱ ὄφεις be (as) wise as serpents (are) 10:16b. Cp. Lk 12:27; 21:35; 22:31; J 15:6; 2 Ti 2:17; 1 Pt 5:8.ⓒ Semitic infl. is felt in the manner in which ὡς, combined w. a subst., takes the place of a subst. or an adj.α. a substantiveא. as subj. (cp. Da 7:13 ὡς υἱὸς ἀνθρώπου ἤρχετο; cp. 10:16, 18) ἐνώπιον τοῦ θρόνου (ἦν) ὡς θάλασσα ὑαλίνη before the throne there was something like a sea of glass Rv 4:6. Cp. 8:8; 9:7a. ἀφʼ ἑνὸς ἐγενήθησαν ὡς ἡ ἄμμος from one man they have come into being as the sand, i.e. countless descendants Hb 11:12.ב. as obj. (JosAs 17:6 εἶδεν Ἀσενὲθ ὡς ἅρμα πυρός) ᾂδουσιν ὡς ᾠδὴν καινήν they were singing, as it were, a new song Rv 14:3. ἤκουσα ὡς φωνήν I heard what sounded like a shout 19:1, 6abc; cp. 6:1.β. as adjective, pred. (mostly εἶναι, γίνεσθαι ὡς; the latter also in rendering of ךְּ to express the basic reality of something: GDelling, Jüd. Lehre u. Frömmigkeit ’67, p. 58, on ParJer 9:7) ἐὰν μὴ γένησθε ὡς τὰ παιδία if you do not become child-like Mt 18:3. ὡς ἄγγελοί εἰσιν they are similar to angels 22:30. πᾶσα σὰρξ ὡς χόρτος 1 Pt 1:24. Cp. Mk 6:34; 12:25; Lk 22:26ab; Ro 9:27 (Is 10:22); 29a (Is 1:9a); 1 Cor 4:13; 7:7f, 29–31; 9:20f; 2 Pt 3:8ab (Ps 89:4); Rv 6:12ab al. (cp. GrBar 14:1 ἐγένετο φωνὴ ὡς βροντή). Sim. also ποίησόν με ὡς ἕνα τῶν μισθίων σου treat me like one of your day laborers Lk 15:19.—The adj. or adjectival expr. for which this form stands may be used as an attribute πίστιν ὡς κόκκον σινάπεως faith like a mustard seed=faith no greater than a tiny mustard seed Mt 17:20; Lk 17:6. προφήτης ὡς εἷς τῶν προφητῶν Mk 6:15. Cp. Ac 3:22; 7:37 (both Dt 18:15); 10:11; 11:5. ἐγένετο ὡς εἷς τῶν φευγόντων AcPl Ha 5, 18. ἀρνίον ὡς ἐσφαγμένον a lamb that appeared to have been slaughtered Rv 5:6.—In expressions like τρίχας ὡς τρίχας γυναικῶν 9:8a the second τρίχας can be omitted as self-evident (Ps 54:7 v.l.): ἡ φωνὴ ὡς σάλπιγγος 4:1; cp. 1:10; 9:8b; 13:2a; 14:2c; 16:3.ⓓ other noteworthy usesα. ὡς as can introduce an example ὡς καὶ Ἠλίας ἐποίησεν Lk 9:54 v.l.; cp. 1 Pt 3:6; or, in the combination ὡς γέγραπται, a scripture quotation Mk 1:2 v.l.; 7:6; Lk 3:4; Ac 13:33; cp. Ro 9:25; or even an authoritative human opinion Ac 17:28; 22:5; 25:10; or any other decisive reason Mt 5:48; 6:12 (ὡς καί).β. ὡς introduces short clauses: ὡς εἰώθει as his custom was Mk 10:1. Cp. Hs 5, 1, 2. ὡς λογίζομαι as I think 1 Pt 5:12. ὡς ἐνομίζετο as was supposed Lk 3:23 (Diog. L. 3, 2 ὡς Ἀθήνησιν ἦν λόγος [about Plato’s origin]; TestAbr A 5 p. 82, 32 [Stone p. 12] ὡς ἐμοὶ δοκεῖ; Just., A I, 6, 2 ὡς ἐδιδάχθημεν). ὡς ἦν as he was Mk 4:36. ὡς ἔφην Papias (2:15) (ApcMos 42; cp. Just., A I, 21, 6 ὡς προέφημεν).γ. The expr. οὕτως ἐστὶν ἡ βασιλεία τοῦ θεοῦ ὡς ἄνθρωπος βάλῃ τὸν σπόρον Mk 4:26 may well exhibit colloquial syntax; but some think that ἄν (so one v.l. [=ἐάν, which is read by many mss.]) once stood before ἄνθρωπος and was lost inadvertently. S. the comm., e.g. EKlostermann, Hdb. z. NT4 ’50 ad loc.; s. also Jülicher, Gleichn. 539; B-D-F §380, 4; Mlt. 185 w. notes; Rdm.2 154; Rob. 928; 968.③ marker introducing the perspective from which a pers., thing, or activity is viewed or understood as to character, function, or role, asⓐ w. focus on quality, circumstance, or roleα. as (JosAs 26:7 ἔγνω … Λευὶς … ταῦτα πάντα ὡς προφήτης; Just., A I, 7, 4 ἵνα ὡς ἄδικος κολάζηται) τί ἔτι κἀγὼ ὡς ἁμαρτωλὸς κρίνομαι; why am I still being condemned as a sinner? Ro 3:7. ὡς σοφὸς ἀρχιτέκτων 1 Cor 3:10. ὡς ἀρτιγέννητα βρέφη as newborn children (in reference to desire for maternal milk) 1 Pt 2:2. μή τις ὑμῶν πασχέτω ὡς φονεύς 4:15a; cp. b, 16.—1:14; 1 Cor 7:25; 2 Cor 6:4; Eph 5:1; Col 3:12; 1 Th 2:4, 7a.—In the oblique cases, genitive (ApcSed 16:2 ὡς νέου αὐτοῦ ἐπαράβλεπον τὰ πταίσματα αὐτοῦ; Just., A I, 14, 4 ὑμέτερον ἔστω ὡς δυνατῶν βασιλέων): τιμίῳ αἵματι ὡς ἀμνοῦ ἀμώμου Χριστοῦ with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish 1 Pt 1:19. δόξαν ὡς μονογενοῦς παρὰ πατρός glory as of an only-begotten son, coming from the Father J 1:14. Cp. Hb 12:27. Dative (Ath. 14, 2 θύουσιν ὡς θεοῖς; 28, 3 πιστεύειν ὡς μυθοποιῷ; Stephan. Byz. s.v.

Accusative (JosAs 22:8 ἠγάπα αὐτὸν ὡς ἄνδρα προφήτην; Just., A I, 4, 4 τὸ ὄνομα ὡς ἔλεγχον λαμβάνετε; Tat. 27, 1 ὡς ἀθεωτάτους ἡμᾶς ἐκκηρύσσετε; Ath. 16, 4 οὐ προσκυνῶ αὐτὰ ὡς θεοὺς): οὐχ ὡς θεὸν ἐδόξασαν Ro 1:21; 1 Cor 4:14; 8:7; Tit 1:7; Phlm 16; Hb 6:19; 11:9. παρακαλῶ ὡς παροίκους καὶ παρεπιδήμους 1 Pt 2:11 (from the perspective of their conversion experience the recipients of the letter are compared to temporary residents and disenfranchised foreigners, cp. the imagery 1 Pt 1:19 above and s. παρεπίδημος and πάροικος 2).—This is prob. also the place for ὸ̔ ἐὰν ποιῆτε, ἐργάζεσθε ὡς τῷ κυρίῳ whatever you have to do, do it as work for the Lord Col 3:23. Cp. Eph 5:22. εἴ τις λαλεῖ ὡς λόγια θεοῦ if anyone preaches, (let the pers. do so) as if (engaged in proclaiming the) words of God 1 Pt 4:11a; cp. ibid. b; 2 Cor 2:17bc; Eph 6:5, 7.β. ὡς w. ptc. gives the reason for an action as one who, because (X., Cyr. 7, 5, 13 κατεγέλων τῆς πολιορκίας ὡς ἔχοντες τὰ ἐπιτήδεια; Appian, Liby. 56 §244 μέμφεσθαι τοῖς θεοῖς ὡς ἐπιβουλεύουσι=as being hostile; Polyaenus 2, 1, 1; 3, 10, 3 ὡς ἔχων=just as if he had; TestAbr B 8 p. 112, 17 [Stone p. 72] ὡς αὐτῷ ὄντι φίλῳ μου (do it for) him [Abraham] as a friend of mine; TestJob 17:5 καθʼ ἡμῶν ὡς τυραννούντων against us as though we were tyrants; ApcMos 23 ὡς νομίζοντες on the assumption that (we would not be discovered); Jos., Ant. 1, 251; Ath. 16, 1 ὁ δὲ κόσμος οὐχ ὡς δεομένου τοῦ θεοῦ γέγονεν; SIG 1168, 35); Paul says: I appealed to the Emperor οὐχ ὡς τοῦ ἔθνους μου ἔχων τι κατηγορεῖν not that I had any charge to bring against my (own) people Ac 28:19 (PCairZen 44, 23 [257 B.C.] οὐχ ὡς μενῶν=not as if it were my purpose to remain there). ὡς foll. by the gen. abs. ὡς τὰ πάντα ἡμῖν τῆς θείας δυνάμεως αὐτοῦ δεδωρημένης because his divine power has granted us everything 2 Pt 1:3. Cp. Dg. 5:16.—Only in isolated instances does ὡς show causal force when used w. a finite verb for, seeing that (PLeid 16, 1, 20; Lucian, Dial. Mort. 17, 2, end, Vit. Auct. 25; Aesop, Fab. 109 P.=148 H.; 111 H-H.: ὡς εὐθέως ἐξελεύσομαι=because; Tetrast. Iamb. 1, 6, 3; Nicetas Eugen. 6, 131 H. Cp. Herodas 10, 3: ὡς=because [with the copula ‘is’ to be supplied]) Mt 6:12 (ὡς καί as Mk 7:37 v.l.; TestDan 3:1 v.l.; the parallel Lk 11:4 has γάρ). AcPlCor 1:6 ὡς οὖν ὁ κύριος ἠλέησεν ἡμᾶς inasmuch as the Lord has shown us mercy (by permitting us). So, more oft., καθώς (q.v. 3).γ. ὡς before the predicate acc. or nom. w. certain verbs functions pleonastically and further contributes to the aspect of perspective ὡς προφήτην ἔχουσιν τὸν Ἰωάννην Mt 21:26. Cp. Lk 16:1. λογίζεσθαί τινα ὡς foll. by acc. look upon someone as 1 Cor 4:1; 2 Cor 10:2 (for this pass. s. also c below). Cp. 2 Th 3:15ab; Phil 2:7; Js 2:9.ⓑ w. focus on a conclusion existing only in someone’s imagination or based solely on someone’s assertion (PsSol 8:30; Jos., Bell. 3, 346; Just., A I, 27, 5; Mel., P. 58, 422) προσηνέγκατέ μοι τὸν ἄνθρωπον τοῦτον ὡς ἀποστρέφοντα τὸν λαόν, καὶ ἰδοὺ … you have brought this fellow before me as one who (as you claim) is misleading the people, and now … Lk 23:14. τί καυχᾶσαι ὡς μὴ λαβών; why do you boast, as though you (as you think) had not received? 1 Cor 4:7.

3 εὐλή
Grammatical information: f.Meaning: `worm. maggot' (Il.).Other forms: mostly pl. - αί. Cf. εὐλάζει σαπριᾳ̃, σκωληκιᾳ̃ H. One also mentions ὑάλη σκώληξ Η. supposed to stand for ὑαλή; it is quite doubtful that this form is cognate.Origin: XX [etym. unknown]Etymology: For *ἐ-Ϝλ-ή (Schwyzer 224), but what would be this ἐ-? (a prothetic vowel is no longer possible, unless one assumes *h₁u̯el-; but * h₁ul- would give ὑλ-). If not with metathesis from *Ϝελ-ή (cf. to εὐρύς), which is improbable. Old verbal noun to 2. εἰλέω, ἴλλω `turn, wind', so pop. `winding, what winds itself'. - Cf. ἕλμις. - The word may well be Pre-Greek.Page in Frisk: 1,588Greek-English etymological dictionary (Ελληνικά-Αγγλικά ετυμολογική λεξικό) > εὐλή

4 ἄλκη 2
ἄλκη 2.Grammatical information: f.Meaning: `elk' (Paus.)Etymology: Like Lat. alcēs, alcē (Caesar), a loan from Germanic. Cf. ON elgr from PGm. *alʒí-, beside which a form with initial stress, PGm. *álχ-, is supposed on which alcēs and ἄλκη go back. The West-Germanic form has e-: OHG. elahho \> NHG Elch, OE eolh, and has a different stem, PGm. *élχa(n)-. Slavic forms like Russ. losь `elk' suppose PIE *olḱis, which are compared with ON elgr. - One connects the root with a great number of words for animals, e. g. ἔλαφος (q. v.), see Pok. 302, and assumes that the root indicated a colour; what Frisk called "sehr hypothetisch und unwahrscheinlich." - I think that an IE word or root must be doubted; it may well be a loan from a non-IE language.Page in Frisk: 1,75Greek-English etymological dictionary (Ελληνικά-Αγγλικά ετυμολογική λεξικό) > ἄλκη 2

5 κραδάω
Grammatical information: v.Meaning: `swing, brandish', midd. `tremble, be agitated'; κραδεύειν H. as explanation of κραδαίνειν (Hom.)Compounds: Rarely with prefix: ἐπι-κραδάω (A. R., Opp.); ἐπι-, δια-, συγ-κραδαίνω (Tim. Pers., Arist.); ἀνακραδεύει σείει, σαλεύει H.Derivatives: κράδη f. `spray at the end of branches, twig, esp. of figs' (IA., Hes. Op. 681) with ἀπο-κράδιος `plucked from a fig' (AP), ἀπο-κραδίζω `pluck from a fig' (Nic.); also ` diseased formation of small shoots in a tree' with κραδάω `have κράδη' (Thphr.; cf. Strömberg Theophrastea 195); also name of a machine, that shows actors hovering in the air (Poll. 4, 128, H.). Also κράδος `blight in figtrees' (Thphr. HP 4, 14, 4), after Thphr. l. c. also name of the twig. - κραδησίτης φαρμακός ( 'scapegoat'), ὁ ταῖς κράδαις βαλλόμενος H. (cf. Redard Les noms grecs en - της 242 n. 29); κραδίης m. `prepared with fig-twigs, provided with...' (H., Hippon.); κραδιαῖος `connected with...' (Orph.); κράδαλοι κλάδοι H. κραδαλός `trembling' (Eust.).Origin: XX [etym. unknown]Etymology: On κραδευταί s. κρατευταί. That κράδη and κράδος with κραδάω (to which κραδαίνω as enlargement) belong together, seems certain; their relation however can be interpreted in different ways. Prob. κραδάω is a denomin., whereby for κράδη an original meaning `the swinging' can be assumed, what agrees well with the meanings `crown (of a tree)' and ` suspension-machine' (Fraenkel Denom. 19f.). Or κραδάω is as zero grade iterative derived from a lost primary verb (cf. Schwyzer 719 Mom. 4, Leumann Lat. Gramm.317c) to which κράδη, - ος is a backformation. Diff. (hardly correct) Schwyzer 682 and Chantraine Gramm. hom. 1, 356: κραδάω old (orig. athematic) root present. - [Hardly here κόρδᾱξ, a dance.] Hypothetical combinations in W.-Hofmann s. cardō, Pok. 934; s. also Fraenkel Lit. et. Wb. s. (pa)-kìrsti. - A very old root noun to κραδάω is supposed by SchulzeKZ 57, 75 = Kl.

6 κύρτος
Grammatical information: m.Meaning: `weel, lobster pot' (Sapph., Pl., Arist., pap.), also `bird-cage' (AP);Compounds: Comp. κυρτο-βόλος `fisherman' (Smyrna).Derivatives: κύρτη f. `bird-cage' (Archil.), `bow-net' (Hdt., D. S.), `strainer' (Nic.). Diminut. κυρτίς `strainer' (Nic., Dsc., Opp.), - ίδιον `strainer' (Dsc.); also κυρτίον name of an unknown chariot-part (Poll. 1, 143). Further κυρτία `wicker shield' (D. S.), κυρτεύς `fisherman' (Herod., Opp.) with κυρτευτής `id.' (AP) and κυρτεία `fishing with the bow-net' (Ael.) from *κυρτεύω or analogically after ἁλι-ευτής, - εία; cf. Boßhardt Die Nom. auf - ευς 68. Here further κυρσερίδες τὰ τῶν μελισσῶν ἀγγεῖα, κυψελίδες H., from *κυρσέρα(?), after κρησέρα `fine sieve'; Grošelj Živa Ant. 3, 202.Origin: PG [a word of Pre-Greek origin]Etymology: One assumed IE. *kr̥t-o- (Schwyzer 351), but κάρταλ(λ)ος is Pre=Greek. One connects also Skt. káṭa- m. `wicker-work, mat' (prob. wrongly). Further there is a western term for `wicker-work, hurdle' in Germ., e.g. OHG hurt, pl. hurdi, for which one assumes IE. *kr̥t-i-, and Lat. crātis, but this would point to a disyllabic root (* krHti-), for which there is further no evidence. A primary verb is supposed in the nasal present kr̥-ṇá-t-ti `spin' with kart-tar- m. `spinner'. Further W.-Hofmann s. crātis, Feist Et. Wb. d. got. Spr. s. haúrds, Pok. 584f. - Quite diff. Müller-Graupa Glotta 31, 132: κύρτος prop. `wicker-work', substantivized from κυρτός. This simple interpretation presupposes, that κυρτός prop. means `tristed, twined' (after M. -G. `crooked, bent'), what fits badly to the facts, or that κύρτος prop. meant `vaulted, bellied'. So there is no convincing etymology. If κυρσ-ερ- belongs here, the word is rather Pre-Greek. Fur. 258 compares Hitt. kurtal(i)- `container of wood or wicker-work'. -Page in Frisk: 2,55-56Greek-English etymological dictionary (Ελληνικά-Αγγλικά ετυμολογική λεξικό) > κύρτος

7 μηρύομαι
Grammatical information: v.Meaning: `draw up, furl, wind (up)' (μ 170, Hes., Hp., X., Plb., Hero).Derivatives: μήρυμα n. `what is drawn out, knot, strand' (Hero, Ph. Bel., Nic.), - μάτιον (Hero); συμμήρυ-σις f. `winding together, connection' (M. Ant.). *μῆρυς `skein' is posited by Fur. 218 on the basis of βηρυσσεύειν σπειρειν (supposed to stand for σπειρᾶν), ἑλίσσειν H., assumed to be a denomin. of *βήρυσσα = *μῆρυς.Origin: PG [a word of Pre-Greek origin]Etymology: Connection with μέρμις seems probabla, but all details remain obscure. A connection with the rather vague IE * mer- `twist, bind' (s. on μέρμις) presupposes, that μαρύεται Theoc. 1, 22 would be hyperdoric; however, s.v. μέρμις Frisk says: "Ein primäres Verb * mer- `flechten binden' (Pok. 733) ist nirgends belegt." As there is no (IE) * mer-, there is no reason to doubt the α-vocalism. Fur. 289 suggests that μηρύομαι is a denominative of *μῆρυς. -- On μήρινθος s.v.Page in Frisk: 2,231Greek-English etymological dictionary (Ελληνικά-Αγγλικά ετυμολογική λεξικό) > μηρύομαι

8 ὄγκος 2

Adj. ὀγκ-ηρός `bulky, extensive', mostly metaph. `pompous' (Hp., X., Arist.); - ώδης `bulky, bombastic' (Pl., X., Arist.); ὀγκύλον σεμνόν, γαῦρον H. with ( δι-)ὀγκύλλομαι, - υλόομαι `to be swollen, to be puffed up' (Hp., Ar.); comp. ὀγκότερος `bulky' (Arist.), sup. - τατος (AP); on the formation Schwyzer 536. 2. Verb ὀγκόο-μαι, - όω, also w. prefix, e.g. δια-, ἐξ- `to become a mass, resp. to bring something off, to tower (above), to puff oneself up' (ion. att.) with ( δι-, ἐξ-)ὄγκωσις `bulge, swelling' (Arist., medic.), ( ἐξ-)ὄγκωμα `bulge, swelling, towering (above), heap' (Hp., E.). -- From H.: ὀγκίαι θημῶνες, χώματα; ὄγκη μέγεθος (cf. to 1. ὄγκος).Origin: XX [etym. unknown]Etymology: Prop. "what is carried, load, burden" as verbal noun with ο-ablaut of the root seen in the reduplicated aorist ἐνεγκεῖν; s. v. (supposed to be * h₁enk-). - Jouanna ( CRAI 1985, 31-60) holds that the meaning `burden' is not attested and that there is only one word `gonflement' from `curvature' (* h₂onk-).Page in Frisk: 2,347Greek-English etymological dictionary (Ελληνικά-Αγγλικά ετυμολογική λεξικό) > ὄγκος 2

9 θύ̄ω 1
θύ̄ω 1.Grammatical information: v.Meaning: `rush in, sethe, storm, rage' (Il.)Other forms: also θυίω (Hom., h. Merc. 560; cf. Chantraine Gramm. hom. 1, 51 and 372), θύ̄νω (Il.), ipf. also ε᾽θύνεον (Hes.), aor. ἔθῡσα (Call. Fr. 82),Derivatives: θυ(ι)άς, - άδος f. "the storming one", `thyiade, Bacchante' (A., Tim.), also θυῖα f. (Str. 10, 3, 10 [and S. Ant. 1151, lyr.?]; cf. Fraenkel Nom. ag. 1, 95); Θυῖα n. name of a Dionysos-feast in Elis (Paus. 6, 26, 1), Θυῑος name of a Thessal. and Boeotian month (inscr.); Θυώνη surn. of Semele (h. Hom., Sapph., Pi.); also θύστα θυῖα and θυστάδες νύμφαι τινές, αἱ ἔνθεοι, καὶ Βάκχαι H.; Θυστήριος surn. of Bakchos (EM); θῦνος πόλεμος, ὁρμή, δρόμος H. (from θύνω; not = Skt. ptc. dhūna-); θῦσις (Pl. Kra. 419e as explanation of θυμός). Deverbat.: θυάω `be rutty, of swines' (Arist.; after βακχάω, μαργάω a. o.; s. Schwyzer 726 n. 2). Unclear θυωθείς μανείς, ὁρμήσας H. - On θύελλα and θύσθλα s. v. Here also θυάκται m. pl. (Troizen IIa), if = `mystae sive thiasotae'; cf Fraenkel Nom. ag. 1, 174; DELG refers this to θύω 2.Origin: XX [etym. unknown]Etymology: θύ̄νω has been analysed as *θύ-νϜ-ω (with ἐθύνεον \< *ἐ-θύ-νεϜ-ον), an old νῡ-present and identified with Skt. dhū̆-nó-ti `schütteln' (Schwyzer 696 a. n. 2). But I don't see what `schütteln' has to do with our verb. - For θυστάδες, θύσθλα one posited a stem θυσ-, which has also been posited for θυίω, if from *θύσ-ι̯ω (Schulze Q. 313 n. 5, Fraenkel Nom. ag. 2, 37; diff. J. Schmidt KZ 27, 294f.; s. also Schwyzer 686 ε). It is however not certain that this supposed *θυσ- has anything to do with our verb. This *θυσ- has been connected with Lat. fur-ō, - ere, s. W.-Hofmann s. v., where also other interpretations are given; we can therefore better leave furō on itself. See also 2. θύω. - The hesitation between θύω 1 and θύω 2 shows how uncertain the interpretation is. I wonder whether *θυσ- is not of foreign origin. Note rare forms or meanings as θύστα, θυτάδες, θυάω. Pok. 261ff. gives anenormous amount of forms and meanings, but no close parallel for the meaning of θύω 1. In the present situation, without further research, nothing can be said.Page in Frisk: 1,697-698Greek-English etymological dictionary (Ελληνικά-Αγγλικά ετυμολογική λεξικό) > θύ̄ω 1

10 θύω 2
θύω 2.Grammatical information: v.Derivatives: Derivations partly show the older meaning `smoke, incense' (s. below): 1. θῦμα `offer' (IA etc.); 2. ἔκ-, πρό-θυσις from ἐκ-, προ-θύω (late); 3. θυσία s. below on θύτης; 4. θύος n. with θυέστης a. o. `incense', s. v.; 5. θύον `life-tree', s. v.; 6. θυητά n. pl. `incense' (Aret.; on the formation cf. θυηλη s.v.); 7. θυ(ε)ία f. `strong smelling ceder, thuya' with θυῖον n. `resin' (Thphr.); formation unclear; to θύος (s. v.)? 8. θύτης m. `offerer' (hell.; ἐκ-θύτης from ἐκ-θύω E.); θύτας (Thess.), with θυτεῖον `offerplace' (Aeschin.), θυτικός `belonging to an offer' (hell., directly from θύω), θυσία `offer, offerfeast' (h. Cer.; cf. Fraenkel Nom. ag. 1, 224, Porzig Satzinhalte 200); from there θυσιάζω `offer' with θυσίασμα, - αστήριος, - ον; 9. θυτήρ m. `id.' (trag.) with θυτήριον `sacrificial animal' (E.), also `altar', name of the constellation Ara (Arat.; Scherer Gestirnnamen 192); 10. θύστας ὁ ἱερεὺς παρὰ Κρησί H., f. θυστάς, - άδος `belonging to the sacrifice' (A., S.; Fraenkel Nom. ag. 1, 182; 2, 37, E. Kretschmer Glotta 18, 85); 11. θύστρα n. = θύματα (Kos); 12. θυ\<σ\> τηρίοις θυμιατηρίοις H.; 13. θυσμικός `regarding the sacrifice' ( ἔτος; Paros, Tenos); the - σ- in the last words hardly with Schulze Q. 320 n. 1 and Fraenkel l. c. from the σ-stem in θύος, but rather with Solmsen KZ 29, 114 analogical [to what?] (cf. μύστης a. o.). - With λ-, resp. μ-suffix in θυηλη, θυμός, θύμον, [not in θυμάλωψ], s. vv.; with μελ-suffix (Frisk Eranos 41, 51) θῠμέλη `hearth, altar' (trag.; not with Aly Glotta 5, 60ff. prop. "practice-ground" from 1. θύω `storm') with θυμελικός.Origin: XX [etym. unknown]Etymology: The regular stemformation of θύω will be the resultof inner-Greek adjustment. The original paradigma can no longer be reconstructed. As the nearest parallel is given Lat. suf-fiō, - īre `incense', explained from *-dhu̯-ii̯ō, which is of course very far away. - It is often supposed that 1. θύω and 2. θύω were originally identical, but this is far from clear; one assumes a development like `stieben, stäuben, wirbeln, stürmen, rauchen' v. t., but this can well be wrong. The different languages show a mass of formations and meanings which can no longer be interpreted, see Pok. 261-267, (268-271). - S. further τύφω. θάνατος, θολός, ἀθύρω have nothing to do with our verb.- P. Pagot, RPh LXXV (2001) 144 connects Hitt. tuhhae `pant, sigh' from * dʰ(e)uh₂-, which is however very far as regards the meaning.Page in Frisk: 1,698-699Greek-English etymological dictionary (Ελληνικά-Αγγλικά ετυμολογική λεξικό) > θύω 2
