κλοτοπεύω: Difference between revisions
ἅπανθ' ὁ μακρὸς κἀναρίθμητος χρόνος φύει τ' ἄδηλα καὶ φανέντα κρύπτεται· κοὐκ ἔστ' ἄελπτον οὐδέν, ἀλλ' ἁλίσκεται χὠ δεινὸς ὅρκος χαἰ περισκελεῖς φρένες. → Long, unmeasurable Time brings to light everything unseen and hides what has been apparent. Nothing is beyond hope; even the fearsome oath and the most stubborn will is overcome. | All things long and countless time brings to birth in darkness and covers after they have been revealed! Nothing is beyond expectation; the dread oath and the unflinching purpose can be overcome.

Ἐπικ. ἐκτεταμένος τύπος τοῦ κλέπτω, κλοπεύω. ― Καθ’ Ἡσύχ.: «κλοτοπεύειν· παραλογίζεσθαι. ἀπατᾶν. κλεψιγαμεῖν, στραγγεύεσθαι»· ὁ αὐτὸς ἑρμηνεύει κλοτοπευτὴς διὰ τοῦ ἐξαλλακτής, ἀλαζών. Ἴδε Spitzn. ἐν τόπῳ.

Etymology: Expressive word of uncertain meaning. Attempts by Laird ClassPhil. 4, 317ff. (rejected by Kretschmer Glotta 3, 336f.), H.

Useless suggestion in DELG: cross of κλέπτω, κλοπή and τόπος, τοπάζω; such conflations rather show our desperation than that they solve anything.
