Grammatical information: adj.

Meaning: `dry, arid, languishing, lean' (IA).

Compounds: Compp., e. g. ἰσχνό-φωνος `with dry (thin) voice' (Hdt., Hp., Arist.), often connected with ἴσχω (v. l. ἰσχό-φωνος; cf. below on ἰσχναίνω) and understood as `with halting voice'; ἔν-ισχνος `a little dry' (Nic. Al. 147; cf. Strömberg Prefix Studies 128).

Derivatives: ἰσχνότης `dryness etc.' (Hp., Arist.); denomin. verbs: 1. ἰσχναίνω, also with prefix as κατ-, ἀπ-, `dry up, make lean' (IA) with ἰσχνασία, - ίη `dried up position, leanness' (Hp., Arist.; on the formation Schwyzer 469), ἰσχνασμός (Hp.), ἴσχνανσις (Paul. Aeg.) `drying up', ἰσχναντικός `drying up, becoming lean' (Arist.); 2. ἰσχνόομαι, - όω, also with ἀπ-, ἐξ- a. o., `get, make dry' (Hp., Arist.) with ἴσχνωσις, - ωτικός (medic. a. o.). - Beside it ἰσχαλέος `dry, barren' (τ 233, Man.) and ἰσχάς, - άδος f. `dried fig' (Com., Arist.) with ἰσχαδο-πώλης, ἰσχάδιον a. o.

Origin: XX [etym. unknown]

Etymology: ἰσχ-ν-ός, ἰσχ-αλ-έος does not show old variation ν: λ, which is no IE category ( σμερδνός: σμερδαλέος does exist, of course, Schwyzer 484, Chantraine Formation 253). One might have expected a verb ἰσχαίνω ( κερδαλέος: κερδαίνω), which is often found as v. l., but it may also be a mix with ἰσχάνω `hold back'. A related u-stem has been assumed in Av. hišku-, Celt., e. g. MIr. sesc `dry', IE * si-sk-u(-o)-. (One uspposed for ἰσχνός an ad hoc basis * si-sk-sno- (Brugmann Grundr.² 2: 1, 475); from an s-stem? - Unclear is the basis of ἰσχάς; after οἰνάς, κοτινάς, φυτάς, μυρτάς etc. one would suppose a noun. Further suggestions (IE sek- `dry up') in Bq, Pok. 894f., W.-Hofmann s. siccus. - Not with Osthoff IF 27, 181ff. to Lat. vēscus `emaciated, lean' (to vēscor, s. W.-Hofmann s. v.).

⑦ distributive marker: w. numbers εἰς is distributive ‘-fold’ (cp. ἐστρίς ‘until three times’ Pind., O. 2, 68; GDI IV p. 884, ⁿ62, 36 [IV B.C.]) Mk 4:8 v.l. (otherw. ἐς τετρακοσίους, ἐς ὀγδοήκοντα about 400, about 80: Arrian, Anab. 5, 15, 2; 6, 2, 4; 7, 20, 3).

⑧ The predicate nom. and the predicate acc. are somet. replaced by εἰς w. acc. under Semitic influence, which has strengthened Gk. tendencies in the same direction:

ⓐ predicate nom.

α. w. γίνεσθαι (PFay 119, 34 [100 A.D.] ἵνα μὴ εἰς ψωμίον γένηται; Wsd 14:11; 1 Macc 1:36; 10:70; Jdth 5:10, 18 al.) Mt 21:42 (Ps 117:22). ἐγένετο εἰς δένδρον Lk 13:19; cp. J 16:20; Ac 5:36; Rv 8:11; 16:19.

β. w. εἶναι (Bar 2:23; Jdth 5:21, 24; Sir 31:10 et al.) Mt 19:5 (Gen 2:24); Lk 3:5 (Is 40:4); 2 Cor 6:18; Hb 1:5; 8:10 (in the last 3 pass. OT expressions are also reproduced). Not fr. the OT: 1J 5:8.

Val. 59, 7; 1 Macc 10:54; 11:62; Jdth 5:11 al.; JosAs 13:12 παράθου με αὐτῷ εἰς παιδίσκην) ἐγείρειν τινὰ εἰς βασιλέα Ac 13:22 (cp. 1 Km 13:14). ἀνατρέφεσθαί τινα εἰς υἱόν 7:21 (cp. Ex 2:10). τέθεικά σε εἰς φῶς ἐθνῶν 13:47 (cp. Is 49:6). Cp. Mt 21:46; 1 Cl 42:4.—B-D-F §145; 157, 5; Rdm.² 20f; Mlt. 71f; Mlt-H. 462. Johannessohn, Kasus 4f.

⑨ marker of instrumentality, by, with (Arrian, Anab. 5, 12, 3 ἐς ἀκρίβειαν=with care; Vi. Aesopi I G 7 P. νικᾶν εἰς εὐσέβειαν πάντα ψόγον=overcome all censure with piety) εἰς διαταγὰς ἀγγέλων Ac 7:53 (=ἐν διαταγαῖς, B-D-F §206, 1). Sim. ὕπαγε εἰς εἰρήνην (1 Km 1:17) Mk 5:34; Lk 7:50; 8:48 (=ἐν εἰρήνῃ). Mlt-Turner 254f.

⑩ Other uses of εἰς

ⓐ at, in the face of μετανοεῖν εἰς τὸ κήρυγμα repent at the proclamation Mt 12:41; Lk 11:32; cp. Ro 4:20 and perh. Mt 3:11. JMantey, JBL 70, ’51, 45–48, 309–11 argues for a causal use here because of the proclam., with reff.; against him RMarcus, ibid. 129f; 71, ’52, 43f; JDavis, Restoration Qtrly 24, ’81, 80–88.

ⓑ for βαπτίζω εἰς s. βαπτίζω 2c.

ⓒ μένειν εἰς remain with (PFay 111, 12 [95/96 A.D.]) so perh. J 6:27.

Gen 37:28). ἔνοχος εἰς τ. γέενναν Mt 5:22; cp. 10:9; Mk 6:8; J 20:7.—DELG. M-M. TW.

Origin: IE [Indo-European] [not in Pok.] * mergʷ- `dark'

Etymology: Because of its variants the word was generally considered an Anatalian loan. βολιμος will be due to metathesis, βολιβος to assimilation in this form. The oldest forms are clearly μόλιβος and μόλυβδος. It is known that - ιβ- occurred against - υβδ-. Beside μόλυβδος and μόλιβος (- υ-) we have now Myc. \/moliwdos\/; μολιβδος is now also found in Olbia about 500 B.C. The Mycenaean form can easily be the oldest: i changed to u before w(d). -- Connection with Lat. plumbum cannot be explained. The word can also not come from the West, as lead was much older in Greece. Nor can Bask. berún `lead' be connected with Myc. moliwdos. - The word has been compared with Lydian marivda-, of which we now know that it meant `dark' (as in E. murk(y)); its Hitt. equivalant is mark(u)waya-; it would be an IE word from the root * mergʷ-, * morgʷiyo- giving * marwida-, which may have become * marwda- with syncope, which again might have become * marwida- by anaptyxis; for lead as `dark' cf. Lat. plumbum nigrum. Thus Melchert in Hittites, Greeks and their neighborrs in Ancient Anatolia, ed. Bachvarova, Collins and Rutherford (2005?).

Origin: IE [Indo-European] [1120?] *u̯eiH- `turn, bend'

Etymology: With (Ϝ)οῖνος agree, except for the gender and auslaut, Lat. vīnum (if from *u̯oinom; Umbr. etc. vinu then Lat. LW [loanword]), Arm. gini (\< *u̯oinii̯o-), Alb. vênë (\< *u̯oinā); an IE word for `wine', reconstructed from this, may together with the related Lat. vītis `vine' and many others (s. on ἴτυς) belong to the group u̯ei- `turn, bend'. As the wild vine a.o. was at home in southern Russia and certain parts of middle Europe, this assumption is acceptable also from the aspect of historical facts. As however the cultivation of the vine has started in the Mediterranean lands or in the Pontus area and in the south of the Caucasus, most scholars incline, to look for the origin of the word in these countries, what would point to non-IE origin. But if we put the homeland of viticulture in the Pontus and the northern Balkan, the word for `wine' might come from there. From this IE source would then come not only the words mentioned from Greek, Lat., Arm. and Albania, but also Hitt. u̯ii̯an(a)-, Hier. Hitt. wa(i)ana-, and also the relevant Semit. words, e.g. Arab. wain, Hebr. jajin (common * wainu-?). Thus Beekes, MSS 48(1987)21-6, who points out that the Hitt. form requires *u̯ih₁on-. From Lat. vīnum further the Celt. a. Germ., from Germ. or Latin again the Slav. and (indir.) Balt. wine words; from Arm. gini e.g. Georg. γvino. -- Lit. with further details in WP. 1, 226 (IE, resp.

Origin: IE [Indo-European]X [probably]

Etymology: Decisive for the morphological evaluation of ποιέω are some dialectic aorist-forms: Arg. ποιϜέ̄σανς, ἐποίϜε̄hε, ἐποιϜέ̄θε̄, Boeot. ἐποίϜε̄σε, to which pres. opt. El. [πο]ιϜέοι (beside repeated ποιέοι). Acc. to usual interpretation (lit. in Bq and WP. 1, 510) ποιϜέω is derived from a noun *ποιϜός, which would be found in ἀρτο-ποιός a.o. An independent noun *ποιϜός cannot however be deduced from the 2. member, as the relevant adjectives seems recent and may have been derived from the verbal expressions ( τοξοφόρ-ος: τόξον φέρειν, λογογράφ-ος: λόγον γράφειν etc.). One might think that in the simplex we have a compound of - ποιέω that was made independent (Schwyzer 726 n. 7). -- The general meaning `make, create' may have arisen from the most different concrete special meanings. Nothing forbids to connect a verbal noun *ποι-Ϝός with u̯o-suffix (Schwyzer 472) with a verb `heap, accumulate, fit together', which is preserved in Indo-Iran., e.g. Skt. cinóti, and also has representatives in Slav., e.g. OCS činъ ' τάξις' with činiti `order, form'; IE kʷei- (WP. 1, 509f., Pok. 637f.). It is however obvious to combine, the u̯-element in *ποιϜός with the u̯-element in cinóti: so ποιϜέω from *kʷoi̯-u̯-éi̯ō beside cinóti from *kʷi-n-éu̯-ti approx. as Goth. straujan 'strew' from *strou̯-éi̯ō beside Skt. str̥ṇóti `strew' from *str̥-n-éu̯-ti (s. στόρνυμι) or Goth. - walwjan `revolve' beside Skt. vr̥ṇóti `envelop' and εἰλύω `id.' (*u̯ol-u-éi̯ō: *u̯l-n-éu̯-ti). In such an analysis ποιέω would appear like Goth. straujan, walwjan as an iterative deverbative and one would be liberated from the not quite reliable noun *ποιϜός. Of course the syntheta in - ποιός can then be connected with a primares verb (δρῠ-τόμ-ος: δόρυ τάμνειν). -- On the meaning of ποιέω and other verba faciendi cf. Braun Stud. itfllcl. N. S. 15, 243 ff.; also Valesio Quaderni dell'Istituto di Glottologia (Bologna) 5 (1960) 97 ff. Cf. also the lit. on δράω and πράσσω. Older lit. in Bq.

Enlargements: ῥεμβ-εύω ( κατα- ῥέμβομαι) = ῥέμβομαι, - ασμός m. `roaming' (LXX; *-άζομαι). -- With ablaut ῥόμβος, also ῥύμβος (acc. to gramm. Att.) m. `circular movement, top, hummingtop, magic wheel, tambourine' (Pi., Critias, E.), geom. `rhombus' (Arist., Euc. a.o.; on the meaning Gow JHSt. 54, 1ff., Mugler Dict. géom. s.v.), also n. of a flatfish, `turbot' v.t. (Ath. a.o.; Strömberg Fischn. 38, Thompson Fishes s.v.); ῥομβο-ειδής `rhombus-like, rhomboidic' (Hp., Euc. etc.). From it 1. dimin. ῥυμβ-ίον n. `little top' (sch.); 2. ῥομβ-ωτός `having the form of a rhombus' (hell. a. late); 3. - ηδόν `in the way of a rh.' (Man.); 4. - έω ( ῥυ-) `to go in circles' (Pl. a.o.) with - ητής m. `top' (Orph.), ἐπι- ῥέμβομαι `to whirl like a hummingtop' (Sapph.); - όομαι `to be turned into a rh.' (Hero). Also ῥυμβ-όνες f. pl. `wrigglings' of a snake (A. R.; cf. ἀγκ-όνες a.o.), - ονάω ( ῥεμβ-) `to sway, to hurl away' (Phld., Ael.; after σφενδονάω).

Origin: PG [a word of Pre-Greek origin]

Etymology: ῥόμβος already in Pi., proves also for the much later attested primary ῥέμβομαι an early date. The byform ῥύμβος reminds of cases like ῥοφέω: ῥυφέω (cf. Schwyzer 351 f.); note also ῥυβόν ἐπικαμ-πές (EM, Hdn. Gr.). -- With ῥέμβομαι one might compare Germ., MLG wrimpen `contract (one's face), rümpfen' (Persson Beitr. 1, 498). An IE *u̯remb- seems nevertheless doubtful, first because of the deviating meanings, second because we have to reckon with several kinds of rhiming formations (s. lit. in Persson l.c. and WP. 1, 276). At least as uncertain is the comparison with Lith. reñgtis `bow, buck' (de Saussure MSL 8, 443 n.) a.o. (s. Lidén Ein balt.-slav. Anlautges. 14 f.). Together with ῥάμφος, ῥέμφος, ῥάμνος, ῥάβδος, ῥέπω, ῥέμβομαι forms a rather motley heap, in which one finds a root u̯er- enlarged with a labial (β, φ, π) with the most flexible meaning `turn'; beside the labials one finds also velar and dental enlargements, s. WP. 1, 270ff., Pok. 1152ff. (after Persson Beitr. 1, 497ff.). -- The forms with ῥυμβ-, ῥυβ- seem to point to a Pre-Greek word.

Wilam. to be changed in οὑρανο\<ῦ\> στέγηι]).

Schmid - εος a. - ειος 39; - ίδιον n. des. of a female garment (Tanagra a. pap. III^a); quite isolated τέγη f. = τέγος (Vett. Val., H.).

Origin: IE [Indo-European] [1013f] * (s)teg- `cover, roof'.

Etymology: With the primary themat. root present στέγω, beside which appear only late incidental non-present forms (for these στεγ-άσαι etc.), agrees Skt. sthagati `cover, conceal', which is however attested only in gramm. (Dhatup.) and by the unpalatalised g makes the impression of an innovation (beside sthagayati); cf. also below). Beside this stands in Latin the s-less tegō, aor. tēxī `cover etc.' (old athemat. presenf? Ernout-Meillet s.v.). Also for τέγος there is outside Greek an agreement, i. e. in. Celt., e.g. OIr. tech `house', IE *tégos- n. The well adapted στέγη might also, though in this form isolated, be inherited from IE. (original root noun ? Ernout-Meillet l. c.). Further the Greek forms can be explained as newly created derivations of a very lively root. We may still mention (for Greek unimportant): Lat. (with old lenghtened grade resp o-ablaut) tēgula, toga; to this as innovation tēctum (Gr. *στεκτός ghostword!); Germ., e.g. OHG dah n. `roof' (IE * togo-m), to which (as denominative or iterative) decchen ' decken'; Balt., e.g. Lith. stógas m. `roof' (IE * stogo-with Kortlandt's law).

⑤ to indicate cause, means, or outcome

ⓐ gener., to show the reason for someth. because of, as a result of, for (numerous ref. in FBleek on Hb 5:7; PFay 111, 4; POxy 3314, 7 [from falling off a horse]; Jdth 2:20; 4 [6] Esdr [POxy 1010]; AscIs 3:13; Jos., Ant. 9, 56) οὐκ ἠδύνατο ἀ. τοῦ ὄχλου he could not because of the crowd Lk 19:3; cp. Mk 2:4 D. οὐκ ἐνέβλεπον ἀπὸ τῆς δόξης τοῦ φωτός I could not see because of the brilliance of the light Ac 22:11. ἀ. τοῦ πλήθους τ. ἰχθύων J 21:6 (M-EBoismard, ad loc.: s. 1f end). ἀ. τοῦ ὕδατος for the water Hs 8, 2, 8. ἀ. τῆς θλίψεως because of the persecution Ac 11:19. οὐαὶ τῷ κόσμῳ ἀ. τ. σκανδάλων Mt 18:7 (s. B-D-F §176, 1; Mlt. 246). εἰσακουσθεὶς ἀ. τῆς εὐλαβείας heard because of his piety Hb 5:7 (but the text may be corrupt; at any rate it is obscure and variously interpr.; besides the comm. s. KRomaniuk, Die Gottesfürchtigen im NT: Aegyptus 44, ’64, 84; B-D-F §211; Rob. 580; s. on εὐλάβεια).

ⓑ to indicate means with the help of, with (Hdt. et al.; Ael. Aristid. 37, 23 K.=2 p. 25 D.; PGM 4, 2128f σφράγιζε ἀπὸ ῥύπου=seal with dirt; En 97:8) γεμίσαι τὴν κοιλίαν ἀ. τ. κερατίων fill one’s stomach w. the husks Lk 15:16 v.l. (s. ἐκ 4aζ; cp.

ⓒ to indicate motive or reason for, from, with (Appian, Bell.

Lk 24:41; Ac 12:14. ἀ. τοῦ φόβου κράζειν Mt 14:26, ἀ. φόβου καὶ προσδοκίας with fear and expectation Lk 21:26. Hence verbs of fearing, etc., take ἀ. to show the cause of the fear (s. above 1c) μὴ φοβεῖσθαι ἀ. τ. ἀποκτεννόντων τὸ σῶμα not be afraid of those who kill only the body Mt 10:28; Lk 12:4 (cp. Jdth 5:23; 1 Macc 2:62; 3:22; 8:12; En 106:4).

ⓓ to indicate the originator of the action denoted by the verb from (Trag., Hdt. et al.) ἀ. σοῦ σημεῖον ἰδεῖν Mt 12:38. γινώσκειν ἀπό τινος learn fr. someone Mk 15:45. ἀκούειν ἀ. τοῦ στόματός τινος hear fr. someone’s mouth, i.e. fr. him personally Lk 22:71 (Dionys.

Ath. 2, 3 ταῖς ἀπὸ τῶν κατηγόρων αἰτίαις ‘the charges made by the accusers’). ἀφʼ ἑνὸς ἐγενήθησαν Hb 11:12. Prob. παραλαμβάνειν ἀ. τοῦ κυρίου 1 Cor 11:23 is to be understood in the same way: Paul is convinced that he is taught by the Lord himself (for direct teaching s. EBröse, Die Präp. ἀπό 1 Cor 11:23: StKr 71, 1898, 351–60; Dssm.; BWeiss; Ltzm.; H-DWendland. But for indirect communication: Zahn et al.). παραλαβὼν ἀπὸ τῶν θυγατέρων Φιλίππου, ὅτι Papias (11:2); opp. παρειληφέναι ὑπὸ τῶν θ. Φ.

Artem. 1, 73 p. 66, 11 ἀπὸ γυναικῶν ἢ διὰ γυναικῶν; 2, 36 p. 135, 26) Gal 1:1. ἀ. κυρίου πνεύματος fr. the Lord, who is the Spirit 2 Cor 3:18. ἔχειν τι ἀπό τινος have (received) someth. fr. someone 1 Cor 6:19; 1 Ti 3:7; 1J 2:20; 4:21.—In salutation formulas εἰρήνη ἀ. θεοῦ πατρός ἡμῶν peace that comes from God, our father Ro 1:7; 1 Cor 1:3; 2 Cor 1:2; Gal 1:3; Eph 1:2; cp. 6:23; Phil 1:2; Col 1:2; 1 Th 1:1 v.l.; 2 Th 1:2; 1 Ti 1:2; 2 Ti 1:2; Tit 1:4; Phlm 3. σοφία ἀ. θεοῦ wisdom that comes fr. God 1 Cor 1:30. ἔπαινος ἀ. θεοῦ praise fr. God 4:5. καὶ τοῦτο ἀ. θεοῦ and that brought about by God Phil 1:28. The expr. εἰρήνη ἀπὸ ‘ὁ ὢν καὶ ὁ ἦν καὶ ὁ ἐρχόμενος’ Rv 1:4 is quite extraordinary. It may be an interpretation of the name Yahweh already current, or an attempt to show reverence for the divine name by preserving it unchanged, or simply one more of the grammatical peculiarities so frequent in Rv (Meyer⁶-Bousset 1906, 159ff; Mlt. 9, note 1; cp. PParis 51, 33 ἀπὸ ἀπηλιότης; Mussies 93f, 328).

ⓔ to indicate responsible agents for someth., from, of

Gk. usage (Thu. 5, 60, 1; X., Mem. 2, 10, 3; Andoc., Orat. 2, 4 οὗτοι οὐκ ἀφʼ αὑτῶν ταῦτα πράττουσιν; Diod S 17, 56; Num 16:28; 4 Macc 11:3; En 98:4; TestAbr A 15 p. 95, 26 [Stone p. 38]; 18 p. 101, 6 [Stone p. 50]; Just., A I, 43, 8) the expr. ἀφʼ ἑαυτοῦ (pl. ἀφʼ ἑαυτῶν) of himself and ἀπʼ ἐμαυτοῦ of myself are common Lk 12:57; 21:30; 2 Cor 3:5, esp. so in J: 5:19, 30; 8:28; 10:18; 15:4.—7:17f; 11:51; 14:10; 16:13; 18:34. So also ἀπʼ ἐμαυτοῦ οὐκ ἐλήλυθα I did not come of myself (opp. the Father sent me) 7:28; 8:42.

β. fr. others. W. verbs in the pass. voice or pass. mng. ὑπό is somet. replaced by ἀπό (in isolated cases in older Gk. e.g. Thu. 1, 17 et al. [Kühner-G. II/1 p. 457f]; freq. in later Gk.: Polyb. 1, 79, 14; Hero I 152, 6; 388, 11; Nicol. Dam.: 90 Fgm. 130, 130 Jac.; IG XII/5, 29, 1; SIG 820, 9; PLond III, 1173, 12 p. 208; BGU 1185, 26; PFlor 150, 6 ἀ. τῶν μυῶν κατεσθιόμενα; PGM 4, 256; Kuhring 36f; 1 Macc 15:17; Sir 16:4; ParJer 1:1 ᾐχμαλωτεύθησαν … ἀπὸ τοῦ βασιλέως; Philo, Leg.

Gramm. 1892, 211; AJannaris, An Histor. Gk. Grammar 1897, §1507). Yet just at this point the textual tradition varies considerably, and the choice of prep. is prob. at times influenced by the wish to express special nuances of mng. Lk 8:29b v.l. (ὑπό text); 43b (ὑπό v.l.); 10:22 D; ἀποδεδειγμένος ἀ. τ. θεοῦ attested by God Ac 2:22. ἐπικληθεὶς Βαρναβᾶς ἀ. (ὑπό v.l.) τ. ἀποστόλων named B. by the apostles 4:36. κατενεχθεὶς ἀ. τοῦ ὕπνου overcome by sleep 20:9. ἀθετούμενος ἀπὸ τῶν παραχαρασσόντων τὰ λόγια αὐτοῦ inasmuch as (Jesus) is being rejected by those who falsify his words AcPlCor 2:3. νεκροῦ βληθέντος ἀπὸ τῶν υἱῶν Ἰσραὴλ ἐπʼ αὐτά when a corpse was cast upon them (the bones of Elisha) 2:32. In such cases ἀπό freq. denotes the one who indirectly originates an action, and can be transl. at the hands of, by command of: πολλὰ παθεῖν ἀ. τ. πρεσβυτέρων suffer much at the hands of the elders Mt 16:21; cp. Lk 9:22; 17:25, where the emphasis is to be placed on παθεῖν, not on ἀποδοκιμασθῆναι. In ἀ. θεοῦ πειράζομαι the thought is that the temptation is caused by God, though not actually carried out by God Js 1:13. ἡτοιμασμένος ἀ. τοῦ θεοῦ prepared by God’s command, not by God in person Rv 12:6.

⑥ In a few expr. ἀπό helps to take the place of an adverb. ἀπὸ μέρους, s. μέρος 1c.—ἡμέρᾳ ἀφʼ ἡμέρας day by day GJs 12:3.—ἀπὸ μιᾶς (acc. to Wlh., Einl.² 26, an Aramaism, min ḥădā˒=at once [s. MBlack, An Aramaic Approach³, ’67, 113]; but this does not explain the fem. gender, found also in the formulaic ἐπὶ μιᾶς Maxim. Tyr. 6, 3f En 99:9 [s. SAalen, NTS 13, ’67, 3] and in Mod. Gk. μὲ μιᾶς at once [Thumb §162 note 2]. PSI 286, 22 uses ἀπὸ μιᾶς of a payment made ‘at once’; on the phrase s. New Docs 2, 189. Orig. γνώμης might have been a part of the expr. [Philo, Spec. Leg. 3, 73], or ὁρμῆς [Thu. 7, 71, 6], or γλώσσης [Cass. Dio 44, 36, 2], or φωνῆς [Herodian 1, 4, 8]; cp. ἀπὸ μιᾶς φωνῆς Plut., Mor. 502d of an echo; s. B-D-F §241, 6) unanimously, alike, in concert Lk 14:18. Sim. ἀπὸ τ. καρδιῶν fr. (your) hearts, sincerely Mt 18:35.—Himerius, Or. 39 [=Or. 5], 6 has as a formula διὰ μιᾶς, probably = continuously, uninterruptedly, Or. 44 [=Or. 8], 2 fuller διὰ μιᾶς τῆς σπουδῆς=with one and the same, or with quite similar zeal.—M-M.

Origin: PG [a word of Pre-Greek origin]X [probably]

Etymology: If one assumes for δάπ-τω a root δαπ-, this is found in Lat. daps `(sacrifice)meal', also in Toch. pret. tāp- `eat' (Fraenkel IF 50, 7); the ν-suffix in δαπάνη has been compared with Lat. damnum `expenditure, loss' and ONo. tafn `sacrificial animal, meal', which could be IE * dap-no-m, as also Arm. tawn `feast' (\< * dap-ni-). One might include Skt. dāpayati `divide'. - In spite of the relatives, δαπ(τ)-\/ δαψ- rather seems Pre-Greek. - Lat. dapinō is LW [loanword] from δαπανάω.

Origin: XX [etym. unknown]

Etymology: The plural δέλευρα (Ath.) suggests for δέλεαρ an original r-n-stem *δέλε-Ϝαρ; cf. ἄλευρα: *ἄλε-Ϝαρ. Twosyllabic δελε- also in δελήτιον \< *δελεάτιον and in new δέλετρον (s. Chantr. Form. 332f.). Deviant only late δείλατα, which may derive from *δέλ-Ϝατα. Beside twosyll. δελε- we have βλη- in βλῆρ (Alc.), from *βλῆ-(Ϝ)αρ? or *βλέ-(Ϝ)αρ?; s. βλέτυες. -- One might suppose that δέλεαρ und βλῆρ originated frim dissimilation from *δέρεαρ and *βρῆρ, and connect βιβρώσκω (s. v.) and OHG querdar `bait'. One has also tried to connect δέλεαρ and βλῆρ with initial Labiovelar g<sup>u</sup>- with Arm. klanem, aor. ekul `devour', with Russ. gɫotátь `swallow', Lat. gula, gluttio `devour'. However, the word may well be non-IE; see the words cited.

Etymology: Difficult because of the divergent meanings. One supposed two or three diffrent words. So in WP. 1, 267 ἕρμα `cliff' is considered a separate word (with Froehde BB 17, 304) and connected with Skt. várṣman- n. `height, hill, top, point'. This etymology however disregards the most important element of cliffs under the sea. On the other hand ἕρμα as ballast of a ship in WP. 1, 265 is with Vaniček and Fick (s. also W.-Hofmann s. sērius) connected with Lith. sveriù `weigh', svarùs `heavy', OHG swār(i) ` schwer'. In the meaning `support, prop' (2, 528) one connects words for `pole etc.', e. g. Skt. sváru- `pole,...at a sacrifice', OE swer `post, column', Lat. surus `twig, sprout, pole'. But it is very doubtful whether ἕρμα ever meant `pole'. - An attempt to combime all meanings makes Porzig Satzinhalte 266: the orig. meaning would be a `stone (for propping up a ship)', from where `Ballast-stones', and on the other hand - sarcastically - also `cliffs under the sea'. - Formally ἕρμα seems a verbal noun in - μα with regular ε-vowel. For an etym. one might think of Lith. sveriù `weigh' and relatives (s. above); so orig. `heavy weight, stone', IE *su̯ér-mn̥. - Kretschmer Kleinas. Forsch. 1, 4 thinks ἕρμα is Anatolian, pointing to the Lydian river Ε῝ρμος ( πολυψήφιδα παρ' Ε῝ρμον Orac. ap. Hdt. 1, 55), partly to Lycian PN in Erm-, Arm-. For non-IE origin also Chantraine L'Ant. class. 22, 69. - Wrong Gonda Mnemos. 3: 6, 165f. (Lat. sĕra, Gr. ἅρπη `sickle', IE * ser-.) - I see no reason for foreign origin.

Grammatical information: m. (Phryn. Kom., Dsk.),

Meaning: `nightmare' (Phryn. Kom., Dsk.) - Έφιάλτης ( Έπι-) 1. mythical PN, son of Aloeus (or of Poseidon) and Iphimedeia, famous because of his unusual greatness and strength (Ε 385, λ 308, Pi. P. 4, 89); 2. PN (Hdt. etc.).,

Other forms: also ἐπιάλτης (Alc. in Eust. 1687, 52); in the same meaning also ἠπιάλης, acc. - ητα (Sophr.), ἠπιόλης (Hdn. Gr.).

Dialectal forms: Myc. E-pi-ja-ta?

Derivatives: ἐφιαλτικός `suffering from nightmare' (Medic.), and the plant-name ἐφιάλτιον, - τία (Ps.-Dsc., Aët., because of its prophylactic use, Strömberg Pflanzennamen 90).

Origin: PG [a word of Pre-Greek origin]

Etymology: No etymology. In antiquity the name of `nightmare', which is clearly as original name of a demon identical with the mythical name (cf. Nilsson Gr. Rel. 1, 226), was connected with ἐφάλλομαι `jump (up)on somebody'; cf. ἐφιάλτης ὁ ἐπιπηδῶν H. and Fraenkel Nom. ag. 1, 33 n.1. The explanation, which is phonetically not without problems (Leumann Hom. Wörter 80 n. 45; s. also Schwyzer-Debrunner 465 n. 9 with different interpretation), must be considered as folk-etymology. The suggestion of Leumann l. c. (with Meister Dial. 1, 117), that ἐφιάλτης came from ἠπίαλος, name of a fever, through ἐπίαλος, ἐπιάλτης reshaped through folk-etymology after ἐφάλλομαι, is, acc. to Frisk, less probable because of the difference in meaning. Leumann separates the PN Έφιάλτης from that of the demon and connects it with ἐπ-ιάλλειν (but this does not explain the φ). - The forms ἠπιάλης, - όλης are based on mixing with ἠπίαλος, s. v. Other folk-etymological reshapings ( ἐφέλης, ἐπωφέλης etc.) in H. s. ἐπιάλης. If the name is identical with the noun ἠπίαλος, as Leumnn and Fur. 159, 258, 342 assume, it is Pre-Greek, which is what one might expect.

Meaning: `strong, secure' (Th., X.) with ἐχυρότης `tenability etc.' (Ph.), ἐχυρόω `fasten' (Phot., Suid.).

Compounds: Comp. ἐν-έχυρον n. `pledge, security' (Ion.-Att.), hypostasis of ἐν ἐχυρῳ̃; with ἐνεχυράζω `take a pledge' with ἐνεχυρ-ασία, - ασμα, - αστής a. o.; also ἐνεχυρόω with - ωμα.

Derivatives: ὀχυρός `id.' (Hes., A., E.), with compositional lengthening ἀν-ώχυρος `not fortified' (X. Ages. 6, 6, SIG 569, 7; III^a; cf. Frisk Adj. priv. 9); with ὀχυρότης (Plb.), ὀχυρόω (X., Arist.) with ὀχύρ-ωμα, - ωμάτιον, - ωσις, - ωτικός.

Origin: IE [Indo-European] [288] *seǵh- `hold, have'

Etymology: Comparable seems Skt. sáhuri- `victorious, strong' (RV); an old u(s)-stem is also in Germ., e. g. OHG sigu m. `victory'. Beside the rebuilt u-stem in ὀχυ-, ἐχυ-ρ-ός stands he neutral s-stem in Skt. sáhas- `power, might, victory', Goth. sigis `victory', IE *séǵhos- (would be Gr. *ἔχος); here belongs the adv. ὄχ-α `widely, by far' (cf. ταχύς: τάχα a. o.; Schwyzer 622f.). - The change ὀχ-: ἐχ- can be old ablaut (Schmidt KZ 32, 353), but secondary influence of ἔχω is also possible. - Further s. ἔχω.

Ap. 157; s. below) with θεραπνίς (AP); unclear θεραποντίς adjunct of φερνή (A. Supp. 979). - Also θέραψ, - απος m., mostly plur. `id.' (E.) with θεράπιον (Hyp.), - πίς (Pl. Mx. 244e). Denomin. verb θεραπεύω `serve, honour, care for, heal' (since ν 265) with several nouns: θεραπεία, Ion. - ηΐη, θεράπευμα `serving etc.' (IA), θεράπευσις `id.' (Phld.); θεραπευτής `servant' (IA) with θεραπευτικός (Pl., X., Arist.), also θεραπευτήρ (X., Aristox.; prob. Dorian, Fraenkel Nom. ag. 2, 54f.) with θεραπευτρίς (Ph.), - εύτρια (EM); θεραπήϊος = θεραπευτικός (AP), - ηΐς f. (Orac. ap. Jul. Ep. 88b).

Origin: PG [a word of Pre-Greek origin]

Etymology: Except as `servant' θεράπνη in Eur. and successors means also `dwelling, habitation' ( θεράπναι αὑλῶνες, σταθμοί H.), which reminds of δοῦλος ἡ οἰκία H. (cf. s. v.); one might assume the meaning `house', coll. `servants'. From θεράπνη `house' we can hardly separate Laconian GN Θεράπνα, - ναι; this points to Pre-Greek origin of the whole group. Kretschmer Glotta 28, 269f. (also id. Glotta 24, 90ff.; on meaning and spread also E. Kretschmer Glotta 18, 72ff.) wrongly sees it as "protoindogermanische" variant of τέραμνα; (with θέραψ Lat. trabs `beam' would be cognate). Thus v. Windekens Le Pélasgique 89f. But θεράπνη can be derived from θεράπων (s. Sommer Nominalkomp. 145; on the secondary ντ-stem cf. θεράπαινα and Schwyzer 526 w. n. 3); cf. Schwyzer 489 w. n. 4. - N. van Brock, Rev. Hitt. As. 959, 117-126 compares Hitt. tarpassa.

Origin: PG [a word of Pre-Greek origin]X [probably]

Etymology: On λαύρα and λεύω s. vv. The unique stemformation of λᾶας is unexplained. One supposes an old neuter with sec. transition to the masc. (fem.) after λίθος, πέτρος (Brugmann IF 11, 100 ff.). The further evaluation is quite uncertain. After Brugmann orig. nom.-acc. *λῆϜας (\< IE. *lēu̯ǝs-; on the full grade cf. λεύω and λεῖαι), gen., dat. etc. *λᾰ́Ϝᾰσ-ος, -ι (IE. *lǝu̯ǝs-os, -i) \> λᾶ-ος, -ι, to which analogically the nom. λᾶ-ας was formed. The simpler assumption, that only the vowellength in λᾶας (for older *λᾰ́Ϝας) was taken from (gen.) λᾶ-ος etc., is rejected by B. Metrical objections against a contraction of *λᾰ́Ϝᾰσ-ος, -ι to λᾶ-ος, -ι by Ruijgh l.c.; he prefers, with Chantraine Gramm. hom. 1, 211 to see in λᾶ-ος, -ι etc. an (unenlarged) consonant-stem λᾱϜ-. Who accepts these, not decisive, objections but also does not want to assume heteroclis, might assume a full grade monosyllabic oblique stem *λᾱϜσ- (beside *λᾰϜᾰσ-). The abandoning of the old σ-flection was anyhow connected with the gender-change. - Quite diff. Pedersen Cinq. decl. lat. 44ff. (with de Saussure Rec. 587 f.): λᾶας old masc. ablauting ā-stem: *λᾱϜᾱ-: λᾱϜ(ᾰ)- \< IE. * leh₂ueh₂-: *leh₂u̯(h₂)-; the supposed full grade -ā- (*- eh₂-) is however quite hypothetical, but it would nicely explain the absence of the root-vowel in the inflection; followed by Beekes, Origins (1985)15-17. - The word λᾶας was apparently unknown to Ion.-Attic (Wackernagel Hell. 9 f., Chantraine Gramm. hom. 1,22; doubts in Björck Alpha impurum 69 and 76 n. 1); Ion.-Att. form shows κραταί-λεως (or only poetical analogy after λαός: Μενέ-λεως a.o.?); thus the free-standing λεύω (s. v.). Connections to λᾶας outside Greek are rare and not without doubt. First Alb. lerë, -a `stone, heap of stones, stony plain, rockslope' from IE. *lā̆u<sub>e</sub>rā (Jokl Rev. int. et. balk. 1, 46ff.; to λαύρα?, s.v.); Illyr. PN Lavo f. prop. "which belongs to the rock (stone)" (from * lava `stone'; Krahe ZNF 19, 72; Spr. d. Illyr. 1,69 f.). One considers further the orig. Celtic Lat. lausiae f. `small stones from stone-cuttings', s. W.-Hofmann s. v. The suffixal agreement between λάϊγγες and OIr. līe, gen. līac (\< Celt. *līu̯ank-; cf. Pok. 683 against Loth Rev. celt. 44, 293; also Lewy Festschr. Dornseiff 226 f.) is no doubt accidental. Further uncertain combinations in Bq, WP. 2, 405 ff., W.-Hofmann s. lausiae. - For Aegaean origin also Chantraine Formation 421, Güntert Labyrinth 5,9. - Since the Myc. form shows that there was no -w- in the form, we must assume *lāh- (but not from *lās-, as the -s- would have been retained. Hence the relation to λεύω, λαύρα has become quite unclear. See Heubeck, IF 66 (1961) 29-34. Fur. 329 compares λέπας; he considers (n. 53) λαίνθη λάρναξ λιθίνη Cyr. as proof of Pre-Greek origin.

Origin: IE [Indo-European]X [probably] [696, 698, 730] * menk- `knead', *m(e)h₂ǵ- `knead'

Etymology: For comparison we have words with final g, IE *maǵ-, esp. in Germanic and Baltoslavic, e.g. NHG machen, OS makōn `make, erect, build', if prop. `knead, form', OCS mažǫ, mazati `smear, salve'; further Celt., e.g. Bret. meza `knead'; uncertain Arm. macanim, macnum `stick fast, congeal'. On the other hand we find a final k with nasal, IE * menk-, in Lith. mìnkau, mánkau, - yti `knead a weak masse', OCS mǫka, Russ. muká `flour' and many other Baltoslavic words; from Germ. one might consider NHG mengen, OE mengan etc., if prop. `knead together'; from Skt. macate `crush etc.' (Dhātup.). Further there are a few longvowel words without nasal: Latv. màcu, màkt `press, plague' and Lat. māceria `wall)kneaded from loam'. -- Of the Greek word only the isolated μακαρία has a clear tenuis, as μάσσω (first from *μακ-ι̯ω) can be explained as a deviation. As however also μαγῆναι as well as the nominal γ-forms can be so explained (cf. Schwyzer 760), one can explain Greek if necessary with IE * menk. A suppletive system * menk (: μακαρία, μάσσω): maǵ-(: μαγῆναι) is conceivable -- WP. 2, 224, 226f., 268, Pok. 696f., 698, 730f., W.-Hofmann s. māceria, Fraenkel s. mìnkyti u. mė́šlas, Vasmer s. mázatь, muká, mjágkij; s. also Bq. - One retains some doubts however; note among other things the form - μαγδαλιά; further the supposed interchange * menk-: *meh₂ǵ- arouses suspicion.

Origin: XX [etym. unknown]

Etymology: On μετανάστης s. v. The causative meaning of νάσσαι is prob. arisen from the opposition to intr. νασθῆναι. The meaning `be situated', often with ναιετάω, esp. in εὖ ναιετάων, rarely with ναίω, is not convincingly explained; perh. we must start from the ptc. εὖ ναιετάων prop. `where one lives well' with the same shift as e.g. in ὁ ἐπιβάλλων `whom it is well' w.o. (type café chantant, s. Debrunner Mus. Helv. 1, 31 ff.); from the ptc. the use might have shifted to the finite forms, sometimes to the primary ναίω. Leumann Hom. Wörter 191 ff. tries to explain the remarkable meaning from a wrong interpretation of Γ 387; against this Fraenkel Gnomon 23, 374. The verbal stem νασ- ( ναίω \< *νάσ-ι̯ω) is isolated. Usu. it is, but with doubtful right, considered as a reduced grade of νεσ- in νέομαι (to which belongs νόστος and also ἄσμενος?); s. there w. further lit. Rejected by Kretschmer Glotta 3, 337.

Origin: IE [Indo-European] [592] *ḱu̯eh₂- `swell'(?)

Etymology: From τὰ ππάματα (Boeot.), Γυνό-ππαστος a.o. appears an orig. IE *ḱu̯, from where - ππ- (cf. ἵππος), anlaut. π- (from there πέ-παμαι etc.). So πέ-πᾱ-μαι, πά̄-σασθαι, πά̄-σομαι with monosyll. full grade (IE *ḱu̯ā-) as in μέ-μνη-μαι, (Dor. -μνᾱ-), μνή-σασθαι, μνή-σομαι. To the perfect of the situation reached and to the ingressive aorist came quite isolated the reduplicated pres. ἐμ-πι-πά-σκομαι like μιμνήσκομαι (cf. Kretschmer Glotta 4, 320). -- An exact non-Greek agreement is not known. As beside μέμνημαι there is the noun μένος, one might reconstruct beside πέπᾱμαι a noun *κέϜος, which is found in Skt. as śávas- n. `strength, power, superiority'. To the nouns πά̄-τωρ, πᾱ-τήρ OInd. has an agreement in the themat. śvā-tr-á- `thriving, powerful', n. `strength, strengthening'. The zero grade ḱū- which correponds with IE ḱu̯ā is found in ἄ-κῦ-ρ-ος, κύ̄-ρ-ιος `lord, possessor'; s. v. w. further references. The group πέπᾱμαι a. cognates has developed formally and semantically independently ('have power over' = `be lord, possess'); details in Brugmann Totalität 60ff., Persson Beitr. 1, 192ff. against J. Schmidt Pluralbild. 411f., who like Hoffmann Dial. 2, 503, Kretschmer KZ 31, 424 a. o. wanted to identify πέπᾱμαι with Ion. Att. ἔκτημαι, κέκτημαι (s. κτάομαι). -- (Not here πᾶς, s. v.).
