Frisk Etymological English
σφηνός
Grammatical information: m.
Meaning: wedge (A. Pr. 64, Ar., Arist., hell. pap.).
Compounds: Some compp., e.g. σφηνό-πους, -ποδος with wedge-shaped feet (κλίνη; Ceos Va; cf. σφανίον below and Sommer Nominalkomp. 30), ἐπί-σφηνος wedge-shaped (Lebadeia, Strömberg Prefix Studies 100), ἀντι-σφήν counter-wedge (Ph. Bel.).
Derivatives: 1. Dimin. σφην-ίσκος m. (Hp. a.o.), -άριον n. (late medic.), uncertain -ίς, -ίδιον (Hero). 2. σφανίον κλινίδιον and ἐν σφανίῳ ἐν κλιναρίῳ H. (Schulze KZ 45, 190f. = Kl.

IIp).
Origin: XX [etym. unknown]
Etymology: From σφανίον and Cean σφηνόπους, of which the Η cannot render PGr. ē but must contain a PGr. a-sound, we get for σφήν a basic form *σφάν, if need be *σφανσ- (cf. χήν) or *σφα-ην (WP. 2, 652f., Pok. 980, Schwyzer 487 n. 7 w. lit.; diff. Wahrmann Glotta 6, 162ff.). Through this the traditional identification (since Kuhn KZ 4, 15) with a Germ. word for chip in OHG spān, OE spōn, OWNo. spānn, spōnn, PGm. *spēn-u-, must be given up. The words given sub σπάθη may be compared. -- Skt. sphyá- n. m. approx. slice, kind of oar etc. (on the meaning Janert KZ 79, 89ff.) remains far; hypothesis by Thieme Die Heimat d. idg. Gemeinspr. 16 (agreeing Janert l.c.): to NHG Espe etc.; against this Hiersche Ten. aspiratae 164 f. -- So no etym.
