|etymtx=Grammatical information: f. pl.<br />Meaning: <b class="b2">one-sided wheat, spelt, Triticum monococcum</b> (Od., Hdt.), hell. and late also sg. <b class="b3">ζειά</b> (Thphr.), <b class="b3">ζεά</b> (<b class="b3">ζέα</b>), <b class="b3">-η</b> (pap. IIIa, D. H.; Dsc. and Gal. as v. l.).<br />Compounds: As 1. member in <b class="b3">ζεί-δωρος</b> <b class="b2">giving spelt (wheat)</b> (Il.; of <b class="b3">ἄρουρα</b>), <b class="b3">ζεό-πυρον</b> n. <b class="b2">kind of Triticum</b> (Gal.); as 2. member in <b class="b3">φυσί-ζοος</b> <b class="b2">producing wheat</b> (Hom., Orac. ap. Hdt. 1, 67; of <b class="b3">αἶα</b>), <b class="b3">Οἰσε-ζέα</b> PN (Lesb.). Both as 1. and as 2. member <b class="b3">ζει-</b>, <b class="b3">-ζοος</b> were early (Emp., A.) associated with <b class="b3">ζῆν</b>, <b class="b3">ζωή</b> and understood as [[lifegiving]].<br />Derivatives: <b class="b3">ζῆνος</b> = <b class="b3">ζέϊνος</b> <b class="b2">of spelt</b> (pap. IIa)?<br />Origin: IE [Indo-European] [512] <b class="b2">*i̯eu̯h₁-</b>wheat, spelt<br />Etymology: Clearly to Skt. <b class="b2">yáva-</b>, Av. <b class="b2">yava-</b> m. <b class="b2">wheat etc.</b>, Lith. pl. <b class="b2">javaĩ</b> [[wheat]], sg. <b class="b2">jãvas</b> . If the diphthong in <b class="b3">ζειαί</b> is real, we have to start from PGr. <b class="b3">*ζεϜ-ι̯α</b> (Sommer Lautstud. 153f., s. Schulze Q. 288 n. 4), so a <b class="b3">ια-</b>deriv. of IE. <b class="b2">*i̯eu̯o-</b> in Skt. <b class="b2">yáva-</b> etc. The monophthongal forms would be secondary. But if <b class="b3">ζειαι</b> has metric lengthening for <b class="b3">ζε(Ϝ)α</b>ί (with the epic orthography retained in this prob. purely literary word), the Greek word agrees with the Indo-Iranian and Lithuanian word. The 2. member <b class="b3">-ζο(Ϝ)ος</b> (with regular <b class="b3">ο-</b>ablaut) speaks against a ι̯<b class="b3">α-</b>deriv. The 1. member <b class="b3">ζει-</b> may stand for <b class="b3">ζε(Ϝ)ε-</b> (from <b class="b2">*i̯eu̯h₁-</b>). Cf. [[δηαί]]. - Cf. Bq and WP., Pok. 512, Bechtel Lexilogus s. <b class="b3">ζείδωρος</b>, Chantraine Gramm. hom. 1, 31. | |||
