101 μάγγανον
Grammatical information: n.Meaning: `philtre, charm, block of a pulley' (Hero Bel., Pap. IIIp), [`eiserner Pflock, Bolzen'] (Sch.), `throwing machine, ballista, tormentum' (Gloss., H.), `means to deceive, bewitch' (Heracl. All., H.).Derivatives: μαγγανάριος `deceiver' (pap. IIIp), `mechanic' (Papp.), will be a loan from Latin. Denomin. verb μαγγανεύω `deceive, bewitch with artificial means, play tricks' with μαγγαν-εία `trickery' (Pl. Lg., Ph.), - εύματα pl. `charms, philtres' (Pl., Plu.), - ευτής `impostor, quack' (Suid., Phot.), - ευτικη τέχνη `agical art' (Poll.), - εύτριαι pl. H. s. βαμβακεύ-τριαι, - ευτήριον `haunt for impostors' (Them.).Origin: PG [a word of Pre-Greek origin]Etymology: The word got as a loan a wide spread: Lat. manganum `machine' (to Rom., e.g. Ital. mangano `sling') with the unclear byform mangō `a handler, who promotes his ware by artificial means' (from hell. *μάγγων?), from where mangōnium `dressing up ware', Alb. mangë `hemp-brake', mengji `medicine', MHG MLG mange `throwing-machine', NHG Mange(l) `smoothing roll(?) for laundry' (from where Balt., e.g. Lith. mañgalis `mangling-machine'). If we forget these loans, a few words from the farthest east and west remain, which have been connected as cognate with μάγγανον: Skt. mañju-, mañjula- `beautiful, sweet, charming', maṅgala n. `happiness, salvation, good omen' (all ep. class.), Osset. mäng `deceit'; Celt., MIr. meng `deceit, cleverness, ruse' (but Toch. A maṅk `guilt, fault, sin', adduced by Schneider, together with B meṅki `id.', also `smaller', with μανός, μάνυ). To this rather motley collection one may add further the group of μάσσω `knead', through which the most wide combinations can be made. - Lit. in Bq, WP. 2, 233, Pok. 731, W.-Hofmann s. mangō; esp. Meringer IF 19, 436f. a. 21, 282, whose attempts to make the history of these words concrete, are in principle no doubt correct, even when they lack confirmation or are in detail even wrong. - From an IE root * meng- (Pok. 731) the Greek form cannot be derived; the word must then be Pre-Greek (as was already stated by W.- Hofmann s.v. mango), where mang-an- is unproblematic. The Sanskrit words are semantically too far off (perh. they are of Dravidian origin, Mayrhofer KEWA547, 553 and EWAia 379f.). (Such isolated Sanskrit comparisons with Greek must often be discarded.) The other words will be loans from Latin. (Lith. mañgalis is a loan from German.) The original meaning was no doubt as Frisk assumed a technical instrument. The meaning `hemp-brake' goes in the same direction, but the meaning ballista I cannot easily combine. The meaning `mangling-machine' recurs several times (Germ. `Glättroll für Wäsche'). It served to `embellish' the cloths. From there the notion of deceit. It is a good example of the long life of a Pre-Greek word which was by some considered as IE.Page in Frisk: 2,155Greek-English etymological dictionary (Ελληνικά-Αγγλικά ετυμολογική λεξικό) > μάγγανον

103 μόλυβδος
Grammatical information: m.Meaning: `lead' (IA.)Other forms: μόλιβος (Λ 237, also hell. prose), also μόλυβος (LXX), μόλιβδος (Plu.), βόλυβδος (Att. defixion-tablet), βόλιμος (Delph., Epid.), βόλιβος (Rhod. in περι-βολιβῶσαι)Dialectal forms: Myc. moriwodo.Compounds: Compp., e.g. μολυβδο-χοέω `melt lead, soldier with lead' (Ar., inscr.).Derivatives: A. Subst.: μολύβδ-αινα f. `weight of lead, plummet, ball of lead.' (Ω 80, Hp., Arist.), `a plant, Plumbago europaea' (Plin.; Strömberg Pflanzennamen 26); as ἄκαινα a.o. (Schwyzer 475, Chantraine Form. 109); - ίς f. `id.' (Att., hell.); - ιον n. `lead weight' (Hp.), μολίβ-ιον n. `leaden pipe' (Antyll. ap. Orib.), - ίδιον (Hero); μολυβδ-ῖτις f. `lead-sand' (Dsc., Plin.; Redard 57 f.); - ωμα `lead-work' (Moschio ap.Ath.); μολυβᾶς, - ᾶτος m. `leadworker' (pap.). -- B. Adj.: μολύβδ-ινος ( μολίβ-) `of lead' (IA, Paul. Aeg.), - οῦς ( μολιβ-, μολυβ-) `id.' (Att., hell.); - ώδης `lead-like' (Dsc., Gal.), - ικός `of lead' (gloss.), μολυβ-ρόν τὸ μολυβοειδές H. -- C. Verbs: μολυβδόομαι ( μολιβ-) `be fitted out with lead weights etc.' (Arist.) with - ωσις (gloss.); περι-βολιβῶσαι `frame with lead' (Rhod.); μολυβδ-ιάω `have the colour of lead' of the face, as symptom of disease (Com. Adesp.). -- Here also μολβίς στάθ-μιόν τι ἑπταμναῖον H. with loss of an inner ι or υ (Solmsen Wortforsch. 60 n. 2).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.

104 μύαξ
μύαξ, - ᾰκοςGrammatical information: m.Meaning: `sea-mussel, its shell' (medic., Plin.); `spoon' (from `shell'; medic.).Origin: PG [a word of Pre-Greek origin]Etymology: Formation as ἀσπάλαξ, μέμβραξ, ὕραξ and other animals' names (Chantraine Form. 378f.). Like μυΐσκη, - ος `id.' prob. from μῦς, which can also mean `mussel'; cf. also Lat. mūsculus also `mussel'; s. Strömberg Fischnamen 109. Diff. Fick a.o. (s. WP. 2, 251): to a word for `moss' in Lat. muscus a.o.; cf. esp. NHG Mies-muschel. Diff. again L. Meyer 4, 291: to μύω `shut (oneself)'. -- With μύαξ can be identical Lat. mūrex `purple (snail)' as inherited word, s. W.-Hofmann s.v. For Mediterranan origin of mūrex Ernout-Meillet; thus also on μύαξ Chantraine Form. 378; DELG rejects all hypotheses. - The suffix - αξ however is typically Pre-Greek; is it possible that this was added to the IE word *mūs `mouse'?

105 μυελός
Grammatical information: m.Meaning: `marrow' (Il.).Other forms: ep. ῡ metr. lengthening. Late Greek has μυαλός, rejected by Phrynichos.Compounds: Some compp., e.g. ἀ-μύελος `without marrow' (Arist.).Derivatives: μυελ-όεις `full of marrow' (Od.), - ώδης `marrow-like' (Arist.), - ινος `soft as marrow' (AP); μυελόομαι `be changed into marrow, consist of marrow' (LXX).Origin: PG [a word of Pre-Greek origin]Etymology: On the formation cf. πιμελή `fat' with comparable meaning. Prob. to μυών `ball of muscles, knot' (s. μῦς) with n: l-variation as in ἀγκών: ἀγκάλη etc. (Specht Ursprung 84). Both the weak marrow and the weak muscles form an opposition to the hard knuckle. As in Latin by medulla, in Greek the old word for `marrow' in Skt. majján-, OHG mark etc. was replaced by μυελός (Porzig Gliederung 211). -- Wrong older interpretations were rejected by Bq. But the word has no further etymology; Chantraine Fom. 244 is prob. right that the word is Pre-Greek. Fur. 350 adduces μυαλός as evidence, but this may be recent and is unreliable.Page in Frisk: 2,264Greek-English etymological dictionary (Ελληνικά-Αγγλικά ετυμολογική λεξικό) > μυελός

Lys., Theocr., AP). -- On itself stands μύθα φωνή. Κύπριοι H.Origin: PG [a word of Pre-Greek origin]X [probably]Etymology: Like so many expressions for `word, speech' perh. orig. an expressive creation of the folk- and every day-language; "die Anknüpfung an das lautnachahmende μῦ (Fick, Curtius, WP. 2, 310; s. μύζω) bietet sich dann von selbst." Frisk; a reasoning that is not at all convincing. A θ-suffix is not remarkable (cf. Schwyzer 510f., Chantraine Form. 366ff.), though there is no semantical agreement. -- Against connection with Goth. maudjan `remember', Lith. maudžiù, maũsti `sensuously desire s.thing' a. o.

The ἀ- may be evidence for a Pre-Greek word. Pok. 752 gives the word and compares OIc. mūgi `heap', OE mūga `heap, mass', Bayr. Mauche `Auswuchs, Fussgeschwulst der Pferde'. Cf.

Slav., e.g. Sloven. glíva `agaric' to Lith. gleĩvės `slime' etc. (Schulze KZ 45, 189 = Kl. Schr. 619); further s. μύσσομαι. -- Diff. (hesitating) Strömberg Pflanzennamen 28: from μῦς `mouse' because of the grey colour as Fr. gris souris name of a mushroom. But μύκης is not only a grey mushroom, and its formation is unclear. Fur. 298 thinks correctly that the meanings of this word cannot be all explained from a derivation from μύσσομαι `snuff, blow one's nose' and assumes a basic meaning `prominent, extremity'. He connects the word with μύσκλοι οἱ πυθμένες τῶν ξηρῶν σύκων Η, which implies that the word is Pre-Greek.

Also Phrygian ονομαν may have ο- from * h₃- (Kortlandt SCauc. 7(1987)63). The e elsewhere has diff. origin; Alb. emër (Geg.), êmën (Tosc.) may be a loan from Latin nōmen; for OPr. emmens m. see below on Slavic; the Greek ἐ- is not well explained, but it may be due to dissim. against the following o \< h₃; cf. below on Tocharian; the Greek u-vowel, also in ὄνυμα, ἀνώνυ-μος a.o., is due to assimilation (cf. Schwyzer 352 with several hypotheses). The other languages have one of the two ablaut-grades: Lat. nōmen = Skt. nā́ma, IE *h₃neh₃mn̥, Germ., e.g. Goth. namo n., IE * nh₃mōn-; OFr. nōmia, MHG be-nuomen, Dutch be-noemen (which is an every-day word) have * h₃neh₃m- again (Beekes, Sprache 33 (1987) 1ff.

With ῥάφανος cf. πύανος, λάχανον, πήγανον a. other plantnames; of ῥάφυς, ῥάπυς remind σίκυς, κάχρυς, στάχυς a.o.Origin: PG [a word of Pre-Greek origin]Etymology: Old designation of the turnip, which is widespread in the Europ. languages but shows a varying vocalism, which points to old loans: Lat. rāpum n., -a f., OHG ruoba f., Lith. rópė f., which may all come fom IE * rāp-; besides OHG raba, Bayr. Kohlraben (influenced by Lat. rāpa?), Slav., e.g. R.-CSl. rěpa, Russ. répa f. (IE * rēp or secondary derailment?; cf. Machek Ling. Posn. 2, 158 ff.); here further, with ᾰ and almost general aspiration, Gr. ῥάπυς, ῥάφυς, ῥάφανος (on the formation above).

(Quite on themselves stand Celt. forms like Welsh erfin pl. `turnips'). -- The transer of the old word for `turnip' to black radish and cabbage will be due to the decline of the cultivation of the turnip in Greece; for `turbip' a new word, γογγυλίς, came into use.

114 σαύρα
Grammatical information: f.Meaning: `lizard' (A. Fr. 92 M., Hdt., Arist., Theoc. etc.), also = σαλαμάνδρα (Thphr.), metaph. as plantname = κάρδαμον (Nic.), `membrum virile of a boy' (AP), `plaited case made of palm bark, used in setting dislocated fingers' (medic.). Also σαῦρος m. `id.' (Hdt. [v. l.], Hp., Epich., Arist., Nic.); metaph. as fishname = τράχουρος (Alex., Arist., Gal.; a. o. after the colour, cf. Strömberg 121).Other forms: Ion. - ρη.Derivatives: 1. the plantnames σαυρ-ίδιον n. (Hp., Gal.), - ίγγη f. (H.; cf. e.g. φυσίγγη = φῦσιγξ: φῦσα), - ῖτις f. (Ps.-Dsc.); cf. Strömberg 130. 2. the fishname - ίς f. (Suid.). 3. - ῖται εἶδός τι ὄφεων H. 4. - ίγγη also = τὸ ζῶον ἡ σαύρα H., saurītis also `precious stone, that would have been found inside a lizard' (Plin.). 5. - ήτης m. `keeper of crocodiles' (pap.). 6. σαυρωτή ποικίλη, - ωτοῖς δόρασι τοῖς σαυρωτῆρας ἔχουσι κατὰ τῆς ἐπιδορατίδος H. 7. σαυρωτήρ, - ῆρος m. (Κ 153, Hdt. 7, 41, Plb. a. o.) approx. `lance shoe, bottom end of a lance, that could be stuck into the ground'; cf. instrument names as τροπωτήρ, σφυρωτήρ, to this σαυρωτός (ab. 6.) and σαύρα = `case' (s. ab.); in the same meaning also σαῦρος in σαυρο-βριθες ἔγχος ( Trag. Adesp. 264); the lance-shaft was prob. compared with the long tail of a lizard (cf. οὑρίαχος). 8. PN Σαυρίας, Σαύρων a. o. (IA. etc.).Origin: PG [a word of Pre-Greek origin]Etymology: Like many other words for `lizard' without etymology. With σαύρα, σαῦρος and derivv. is usually connected a series of other words with σαυ-: σαῦλος, σαυ-νός, σαυνίον, also σαυκρός, and further compared with σωλήν and σῦριγξ; s. esp. Solmsen Wortforsch. 129ff. (with extensive treatment), where however only σαυροβριθές, σαυρω-τήρ and σαύρα `membrum virile' (as well as σαυνίον `javelin') are considered as belonging to σωλήν and σῦριγξ and so separated from σαύρα, σαῦρος `lizard'; the last are with σαῦλος, σαυνός, σαυκρόν, σαυχμόν made into a separate group (agreeing Fraenkel IF 32, 112). The relation between these words is as dark as the connections outside Greek are doubtful; s. on it Bq and WP. 1, 752; cf. also Mayrhofer s. tūṇaḥ. -- I see no reason to connect the adj. with σαυ- ( σαυνός is not given by LSJ). As the word is appar. not IE, it will be a local, i.e. Pre-Greek word. (Not in Furnée.) (The word disnosaur was in 1841 created from δεινός `terrible' by the English peleontologist R.Owen.)Page in Frisk: 2,683-684Greek-English etymological dictionary (Ελληνικά-Αγγλικά ετυμολογική λεξικό) > σαύρα

Dawkins JHSt. 56, 9 f.).Other forms: Without anl. σ-: κινδαψός (Timo, H.).Origin: PG [a word of Pre-Greek origin]X [probably]Etymology: Ending like the semant. quite remote λυκ-αψός, χορδ-αψός (s. λύκος and χορδή); further unclear foreign word like κιθάρα, βάρβιτος and many other instrument-names. Hypothetic suppositions by Stephanides PhilWoch. 50, 1438 ff. -- The word seems Pre-Greek without clear indications.Page in Frisk: 2,732-733Greek-English etymological dictionary (Ελληνικά-Αγγλικά ετυμολογική λεξικό) > σκινδαψός

116 σκορπίος
Grammatical information: m.Meaning: `scorpion' (A. Fr. 169 = 368M.); often metaph. as adjunct of a fish (com., Arist a.o.; after the poison-stings, Strömberg 124 f., Thompson Fishes s.v.; also σκόρπ-αινα, - ίς, s. bel.); a plant (Thphr.; Strömberg Theophrastea 50f.); of a constellation (Cleostrat., hell.; Scherer Gestirnn. 170); a war machine for firing arrows (Hero a. o.; from this σκορπίζω, s. bel.); of a stone (Orph.; also σκορπῖτις, - ίτης).Compounds: As 1. member e.g. in σκορπί-ουρος (- ον) plantn. (Dsc.).Derivatives: 1. Subst.: σκορπ-ίον n. plantn. (Dsc.), - ίδιον n. `small slinging-machine' (Plb., LXX), - ίς f. (Arist.), - αινα f. (Ath.) fishn. (s. ab.); - ῖτις f., - ίτης m. name of a stone (Plin., late pap.; after the colour and shape, Redard 61); - ιών, - ιῶνος m. monthname in Alexandria (Ptol.). 2. adj.: σκορπ-ιώδης `resembling the s.' (Arist., Ph. a. o.), -ήϊος.. - ειος `belonging to the s.' (Orph., Man.), - ιόεις `id.' (Nic.), - ιακός `id.' (medic.), - ιανός `born under s.' (Astr.). 3. verbs: σκορπ-ίζω, also w. δια- a.o., `to scatter' (Hecat.[?], hell. a. late), - ιαίνομαι `to be enraged' (Procop.), - ιοῦται ἀγριαίνεται, ἐρεθίζεται H.Origin: PG [a word of Pre-Greek origin]Etymology: As the scorpion belongs to the warmer lands and is not at home above the 40. degree north. breadth, everything suggests a loan from a mediterranean language. -- Usually with Persson Stud. 57 a. 168, Beitr. 2, 861 as IE connected to a word for `plane, scratch etc.' with several representatives especially in Germ., e.g. OE sceorfan `scratch', scearfian, OHG scarbōn `plane, tear up' (IE * ser-p-), OE sceorpan `scratch, prickle' (IE * sker-b-); to this Latv. šḱērpêt `cut a lawn' etc.; s. WP. 2, 581 ff., Pok. 943 f. -- Lat. LW [loanword] scorpius, -iō, Russ. LW [loanword] skórpij. -- As stated prob. a Pre-Greek word. Furnée (index!) thinks that all words with (s)kr(m)P- contain the same Pre-Greek word; cf. κάραβος, καράμβιος, * σκαραβαῖος, κεράμβυξ, κεράμβηλον, κηραφίς, γραψαῖος. This is perh. possible, but it cannot be considered certain. One notes that all forms clearly have καρα(μ)P-, but that γραψαῖος and σκορπιος do not have a vowel between ρ and the (nasal +) labial (the presence of a vowel agrees with the (pre)nasalization).Page in Frisk: 2,738-739Greek-English etymological dictionary (Ελληνικά-Αγγλικά ετυμολογική λεξικό) > σκορπίος

(v. l. for στιλπνότης Plu.), - όω `to make shine' (LXX, Dsc.), from which - ωσις, - ωμα, - ωθρον, - ωτής (LXX, Dsc. a..). -- Beside it στιλπνός `shining, sparkling' (Ξ 351, Arist. a.o.) with - ότης (Gal., Plu. a.o.), - όω `to polish' (Arr., Gal.) with - ωτής (Lyd.); cf. θαλπνός, τερπνός a.o.Origin: PG [a word of Pre-Greek origin]Etymology: Unexplained. As a sequence - ilb\/p- for the Indo-European phonological system is unacceptable, the word can at least in this form not have been inherited. A more than uncertain combination with a Celt. word for `eye, aspect', Ir. sell, sellaim etc., in Fick 2, 313 a.o. (s. Bq and WP. 2, 646, Pok. 1035). Not better Machek Rev. et. slav. 23, 63 and Listy filol. 72, 72 f. (to Russ. blistátь `gleam'). -- Furnée 154 assumes στιλπ- beside στιλβ-, because of στιλπνός and Στίλπων.

Often connected with κεντεῖν `sting' with diff. interpretations of the 2. element: to * auro- `horse' (Nazari Riv. fil. class. 32, 99); to αὔρα `air' (Mannhardt Antike Wald- und Feldkulte [1877] 39ff.); to the same word for `water' which was assumed in ἄναυρος `torrent' (s. v.; Kretschmer Glotta 10, 50ff., 211f.).

120 γέ
γέ (Hom.+; apolog. exc. Ar.) enclit. particle, appended to the word or words it refers to; as in Hom.+ it serves to “focus the attention upon a single idea, and place it, as it were, in the limelight: differing thus from δή, which emphasizes the reality of a concept (though in certain respects the usages of the two particles are similar)” (Denniston 114). In oral utterance it would be accompanied by a change in pitch of voice at certain points in the context, and a translator may use an adverb or indicate the point through word order, choice of typeface, or punctuation at least, even, indeed, etc.ⓐ without other particlesα. limiting at least, at any rate (cp.
