6 στράγξ
στράγξ, - γγόςGrammatical information: f.Meaning: `squeezed out drop[ pouring out]' (Arist., Thphr., Men., AP a. o.).Derivatives: Beside it στραγγ-ός (also - γ-) `flowing drop by drop', also `tied together, entangled, by shocks, irregular' (medic. a.o.), - εῖον n. `drop-bottle' (medic.). - ίας ( πυρός) `kind of wheat' (Thphr.; cf. Strömberg Theophrastea 91). As 1. element in the compound στραγγ-ουρ-ία, Ion. - ίη f. = ἡ κατὰ στράγγα οὔρησις (Gal.), `strangury' (Hp., Att., hell. a. late) with - ικός, - ιώδης, - ιάω, - έω. Denominatives 1. στραγγ-ίζω, also w. κατα-, ἐκ-, ἀπο-, `to squeeze out drop by drop' (LXX, Dsc. a.o.); 2. - εύομαι (auch - γ-) `to hesitate, to linger, to dawdle' (Ar., Pl. hell. a. late; on the meaning below) with - εία f. `hesitation' (M. Ant.). -- With λ-sufflx: στραγγάλη f. `cord, rope, noose' (J., Plu., S. E.) wit - αλίς f. `entangled knot, induration' (com. Va, Arist. a.o.), - αλιά f. `id.' (LXX etc.; Scheller Oxytonierung 88), - αλιώδης `knotty, entangled' (LXX, Com. Adesp.), - αλάω `to choke, to strangle' (Men., LXX), - αλίζω, also w. ἀπο-, `id.' (D. S., Str. etc.), - αλισμός (gloss.), - αλόομαι `to become entangled, ensnared' (Ph. Bel. a.o.).Origin: PG [a word of Pre-Greek origin]Etymology: With στράγξ cf. στρίγξ, λύγξ, κλαγγ-ί a.o.; στραγγ-άλη as σκυτ-άλη etc. -- Of στράγξ a. cogn. remind strongly of several words from other languages: Lat. stringō `string, tie together', if from * strengō with analog. i in strictus, Latv. stringu, stringt (zero grade) `become stiff', also `wither' (from `shrivel, contract'), MIr. srengim `draw, drag', NIr. sreang `strand, strick', Germ., e.g. OHG strang, OWNo. strengr (from * strang-i-) `id.', OWNo. strangr, OS strang, OHG strengi `stretched, stiff, unbendible, streng etc.' with Norw. strengja `draw stiff', NHG anstrengen etc., IE * streng(h)-, strong(h)-. But then στραγγ- must stand either as zero grade for στραγ- (= Latv. stringt; in στραγ-ός, - εύομαι beside στραγγ- still retained?) or have got the α-vowel secondarily, which would not surprise with the orig. popular character of this word group. As orig. meaning of this family we must posit `string, tie together', which had in Greek a quite special development. Thus the drop, στράγξ, as "which strings, ties together," resp. "which is strung togethet" (as opposed to free running liquidity) interpreted; cf. σύστρεμμα also `round drop of water'. (Prop. from washing? Thierfelder by letter.) The meaning `linger, hesitate' in στραγ-γεύομαι can be explained both from `draw together, congeal' as from `run by drops (= slowly)'. -- Further forms and combinations a. lit. in WP. 2, 650f., Pok. 1036f., W.-Hofmann s. stringō. Lat. LW [loanword] strangūria, strangulō. Cf. στρογγύλος. -- The word is no doubt Pre-Greek (cf. the variant without nasal, and the a-vocalism).Page in Frisk: 2,804-805Greek-English etymological dictionary (Ελληνικά-Αγγλικά ετυμολογική λεξικό) > στράγξ

17 οἰδέω
Grammatical information: v.Meaning: `to swell' (ε 455).Other forms: Also οἰδάω (Plu., Luc.), οἰδαίνω (hell. poet.); οἰδάνομαι, -ω (Ι 646 a. 554, Ar., A. R.), οἰδίσκομαι, -ω (medic.) `swell' resp. `make swell', aor. οἰδῆσαι (IA.), rare οἰδῆναι (Q. S.: οἰδαίνω), perf. ὤδηκα (Hp., Theoc.);Derivatives: 1. οἶδμα n. `torrent of water' (Il.), after κῦμα (Porzig Satzinhalte 242); cf. κυέω: κῦμα, δοκέω: δόγμα (if not from a lost primary verb; cf. below); οἰδματ-όεις `flowing' (A. Fr. 69 = 103 Mette, Opp.). 2. οἶδος n. `swelling' (Hp., Nic., Aret.); cf. κρατέω: κράτος. 3. οἴδ-ημα n. `swelling' (Hp., D.) with - ημάτιον (Hp., Aët.), - ηματώδης (medic.); ( ἀν-, δι-, ἐξ- etc.) οίδησις f. `bulge' (Pl., medic., Thphr.). 4. ( ἐπ-, ὑπ-)οιδαλέος `swollen' (Archil., Hp.: οἰδαίνω like κερδαλέος: κερδαίνω). 5. οἴδᾱξ m. `unripe fig' (Poll., Choerob.; from οἶδος or οἰδέω). 6. Backformations: ὕποιδος `somewhat swollen' (Gal.: ὑπ-οιδέω), ἐνοιδής `swollen' (Nic.: ἐν-οιδέω). -- On Οἰδίπους s. v.Etymology: Of the presentforms only οἰδέω will be old. Through enlargement arose the causat. οἰδάνω with intr. οἰδάνομαι (cf. on Οἰδίπους), in the same way οἰδίσκομαι, -ω (Schwyzer 700 a. 709 f.); οἰδαίνω will be analog. after κυμαίνω, ὀργαίνω u.a., perh. also to οἰδῆσαι after κερδῆσαι: κερδαίνω a. o.; to οἰδῆσαι the late and rare οἰδάω. In οἰδέω some see an iterativ-intensive formation; but an agreeing primary verb is not attested. -- A certain cognate is Arm. ayt-nu-m `swell' with the primaryn aor. ayte-ay and the noun ayt (i-stem) `cheek', IE * oidi- (poss. * aidi-; cf. below); the nu-present is an Arm. innovation. Germ. presents some isolated nouns, a.o. OHG eiz, NHG dial. Eis `abscess, ulcer', PGm. * aita-z, IE * oido-s (* aido-s?; cf. formally close οἶδος n.); with r-suffix e.g. OHG eittar n. ' Eitar', PGm. * aitra- n. (cf. on Οἰδίπους), also in waternames, e.g. Eiter-bach (Krahe Beitr. z. Namenforsch. 7, 105 ff.). Isolated also Lat. aemidus (prob. after the synon. tumi-dus), in the vowel deviating from οἰδέω (ablaut oi: ai?, which could be * h₂ei-\/ h₂oi-); the non-Greek. forms can further continue both IE oi and ai. -- The Slav. forms adduced are polyinterpretable: OCS jadъ `poison'; even more doubtful Russ. etc. jadró, PSl. *jędro `kernel, testicle etc.' (with nasal infix?). Also other nasalised forms wit zero grade have been connected, e.g. Skt. índu- m. `drop', Balt. rivernames like Indus, Indura; all of it rather doubtful and for Greek unimportant. Further details w. rich lit. in WP. 1, 166f., Pok. 774, W.-Hofmann s. aemidus, Vasmer s. jád and jadró, also Mayrhofer s. índuḥ and Indraḥ.Page in Frisk: 2,357-358Greek-English etymological dictionary (Ελληνικά-Αγγλικά ετυμολογική λεξικό) > οἰδέω
