[[living]], [[house]] (Il., also inscr. [Delos IIIa], LXX, pap.).<br />Other forms: Also [[μελάθρα]] f. (Delos IVa).<br />Compounds: As 2. member e.g. in <b class="b3">ὑψι-μέλαθρος</b> [[with high-roof-beams]] (h. Merc.).<br />Derivatives: [[μελαθρόομαι]] [[provide with roof-beams]] (LXX).<br />Origin: PG [a word of Pre-Greek origin]<br />Etymology: Etymologically unclear. Acc. to the ancients "<b class="b3">ἀπὸ τοῦ μελαίνεσθαι ὑπὸ τοῦ καπνοῦ</b>" (EM 576, 16). If at all an inherited word (cf. Schwyzer 533, Chantraine Form. 374), perhaps only in ablaut different from [[βλωθρός]] <b class="b2">high(roofed)</b> (from <b class="b3">*μλ-</b>; s. v.); but this would require <b class="b2">*mlh₃-</b>. Not to [[κμέλεθρον]] [[beam]] (s.v.) because of the [[ε]]'s. Thus Güntert Reimwortbildungen 144f. and Pisani KZ 71, 125f. New attempt by Deroy Rev. belge de phil. 26, 533ff. (to be rejected). No doubt a Pre-Greek word. | ||
