2 πεύκη
Grammatical information: f.Meaning: `pine', esp. `Pinus Laricio' (Il.), metaph. `torch' (trag.).Derivatives: πευκ-ήεις, Dor. - άεις `made of pine, belonging to the torch, stinging, sharp' (trag. in lyr., D. P., Opp.); - ινος `made of pine' (S., E., Plb.); - ών, - ῶνος m. `forest of pines' (Hdn. Gr.); - ία f. `taste of pitch' (Tz.; prob. after πικρία, Scheller Oxytonierung 40). -- Besides πευκάλιμος adjunct of φρένες (Il.), also of πραπίδες, μήδεα (Orac. ap. D. L., inscr.); πευκεδανός adi. of πόλεμος (Κ 8), of βέλεμνα, ἀσπίς (Orph.), of θάλασσα (Opp.); with opposit. acc. πευκέδανον name of a bitter umbellifera, `sulphur weed' (Thphr.; Strömberg 147).Origin: IE [Indo-European] [828] *peuḱ- `sting'Etymology: Resembling names of the pine and the fir are found in Balt., Germ. and Celt.: OPr. peuse f. (IE *peuḱ-), Lith. pušìs (IE *puḱ-); uncertain on the stemformation Specht KZ 63, 96; after Skardzius IF 62, 162 old rootnoun; with t-enlargement OHG fiuhta, MIr. ochtach f. (IE *peuḱ-t- resp. *puḱ-tākā). If, as probable, to the 2. member in ἐχε-πευκής, περι-πευκής `stinging, sharp' (prop. *'provided with a sting, point'), πεύκη can be understood as a subst. adj. f. "the sharp, the stinging" from *πευκός `sharp, stinging' as λεύκη f. `white poplar' from λευκός; in Germ. OHG fiuhta `fine' as lioht `light'. Here also the islandname Πεύκη (in the Donau-delta; Skymn.; Mayer Glotta 24, 195) and the Illyr. PN Peucetii (Illyria, southern Italy; Krahe Die Spr. d. Illyr. 1, 112 f.) with formation like Gaul. Leucetius surn. of Mars, Lat.-Osc. Lūcetius surn. of Iupiter. -- ἐχε-πευκής may contain a noun *πεῦκος n. `stinging, point' (cf. s.v.); formation then like Av. raočah- n. `light' (IE * leukos). To this the adj. πευκάλιμος and πευκεδανός, for which a meaning `sharp, intrusive' resp. `sharp, stinging, bitter' must be posited; cf. e.g. εἰδάλιμος (: εἶδος) a.o. (Arbenz 28, Benveniste Origines 45 f.); λ-suffix also in πευκαλέον ξηρόν (as αὑαλέος a.o.), πευκαλεῖται ξηραίνεται H.; for πευκεδανός cf. ῥιγεδανός (: ῥῖγος) a.o.

Inherited relation with runcāre (s. lit. in Bq and W.-Hofmann, WP. 2, 353, Pok. 869 f.) is impossible already because ῥυκάνη has no prothetic vowel (Wackernagel l.c.). -- The word could be Pre-Greek.Page in Frisk: 2,665Greek-English etymological dictionary (Ελληνικά-Αγγλικά ετυμολογική λεξικό) > ῥῠκάνη

To be considered further several isolated verbal nouns, esp. from Celtic, e.g. Ir. rucht (\< * ruk-tu-) `swine', pop. *"grubber"; from Alban. rrah `excavation, reclaimed land' IE * rouk-so- (Restelli Ist. Lomb. 91, 475).
