ἀσπάλαξ: Difference between revisions

From LSJ

διαφέρει δὲ ἡ κωμῳδία τῆς τραγῳδίας, ὅτι ἡ μὲν κωμῳδία ἀπὸ γέλωτος εἰς γέλωτα καταλήγει, ἡ δὲ τραγῳδία ἀπὸ θρήνου εἰς θρῆνον → comedy is different from tragedy, because comedy tapers off from laughter into laughter, but tragedy from lament into lament

Frisk Etymological English

-ακος
Grammatical information: m.
Meaning: mole, Sphalax typhus (Arist.; s. Thompson ClRev. 32, 9ff.).
Other forms: Also σπάλαξ m. f. (Arist.), ἀσφάλαξ m. (Babr.) and σφάλαξ (Paus.)
Origin: PG [a word of Pre-Greek origin]
Etymology: The suffix -αξ in animal names is well known (κόραξ, σκύλαξ, Chantr. Form. 378). One connected *sp(h)el- split, tear off (Pok. 985), cf. σπολάς; which is quite uncertain. Further cf. σφαλάσσειν τέμνειν, κεντεῖν H. The variations and the fact that there is no IE etym. make a substr. word probable. The synonym σκάλοψ may be a variant or a recent metathesis.
