7 κοῦφος
Grammatical information: adj.Meaning: `light, not heavy, easily movable, nimbly, vain, empty' (Ν 158 and θ 201: κοῦφα resp. κουφότερον as adv.); on the meaning Treu Von Homer zur Lyrik 76 etc. (s. index).Compounds: Few compp., e. g. κουφό-νοος ` with a nimble mind' (trag.), ὑπό-κουφος `rather light' (Dsc., Plu.).Derivatives: κουφοτής f. ` lightness' (Hp., Pl.; accent after βαρυτής, Wackernagel Gött.

8 ῥίμφα
Grammatical information: Adv.Meaning: `rapid, agile, nimble' (ep. Il.).Origin: XX [etym. unknown]Etymology: Formation like τάχα, ὦκα etc.; not well explained. As the sequence - ιμφ- cannot have been inherited, the ι must stand for ε before nasal (s. Schwyzer 275) or the nasal must have been introduced later. PGr. *Ϝρέμφα (*ϜρέγχϜα?; Schwyzer 302) can be combined with Lith. rangùs `dexterous, flexible', rangiúos, rángtis `hasten', rengiúos, reñgtis `prepare oneself, be prepared' under IE *u̯rengʷʰ-; but then must OHG ringi `levis', MHG ( ge)ringe `light and quickly prepared, dexterous' a. other Germ. words remain away (attempt at an explanation in WP. 2, 373). -- Details w. lit. in WP. l.c., Pok. 1155; older lit. in Bq.Page in Frisk: 2,656-657Greek-English etymological dictionary (Ελληνικά-Αγγλικά ετυμολογική λεξικό) > ῥίμφα
