[[dapu₂ritojo]] /[[laburinthojo]]/<br />Compounds: [[λαβυρινθώδης]] [[l.-like]], [[complicated]] (Arist.).<br />Origin: PG [a word of Pre-Greek origin]<br />Etymology: Pre-Greek word in <b class="b3">-ινθος</b>, since long (M. Mayer Jb. d. deut. arch. Inst. 7 [1892], 191) connected with [[λάβρυς]], after Plu. 2,302a Lydian for [[πέλεκυς]], and as "House of the Double Axe" (as sign of royalty) interpreted; here also the Carian god [[Δαβραυνδος]]. Thus esp. Kretschmer Einleitung 404 and more, e. g. Glotta 28, 244 ff.; s. also v. Wilamowitz Glaube 1, 121, Nilsson Gr. Rel. 1,276f. Güntert Labyrinth 1ff. connects [[λαύρα]], [[stony]], [[plastered street v. s.]] (s. v.; but not to <b class="b3">*λᾶϜας</b> [[stone]] ([[λάβρυς]] prop. *"stone axe"), with [[λέπας]], Lat. [[lapis]] etc., which was by Kretschmer Glotta 22, 252 f. and Specht KZ 66, 33 f. for phonetic reasons rightly rejected. For connection with [[λαύρα]], ([[λᾶας]]) also Brandenstein Sprache 2, 72 ff. (against it Messing Lang. 30, 107), Deroy Glotta 35, 173ff. After Kretschmer Sprache 2, 152 ff. [[λαβύρινθος]] in the meaning [[terraced building]] (Apollotemple in Didyma) perhaps a contamination with [[λαύρα]](?). - New theory by Gallavotti Par. del Pass. 12, 161 ff.: because of Myc. [[dapu₂rito]] = [[λαβύρινθος]] from <b class="b3">*δαβύρινθος</b> as <b class="b2">protoidg.</b> to [[θάπτω]] etc. | ||
