|etymtx=-ιθος<br />Grammatical information: f.<br />Meaning: [[band]], [[string]] (κ 23, D. S. 3, 21), dat. pl. <b class="b3">-θαις</b> (Agatharch. 47); acc. sg. <b class="b3">-θον</b> (H.), nom. <b class="b3">-θος</b> (Zonar.).<br />Origin: PG [a word of Pre-Greek origin]<br />Etymology: Formation like <b class="b3">ἕλμις</b> (<b class="b3">μέρμινθα</b> v. l. D. S. l. c. like <b class="b3">ἕλμινθος</b> etc.), <b class="b3">ὄρνις γέλγις</b> a. o. (Schwyzer 510, Chantraine 366). Further analysis unknown; a suffixal <b class="b3">-μι-</b> (with <b class="b3">θ-</b>enlargement) is possible; broken reduplication may be considered. A primary verb <b class="b2">mer-</b> [[twist]], [[bind]] (WP. 2, 272 a. Pok. 733) is nowhere attested; cognates have been supposed in <b class="b3">μηρύω</b> as well as in <b class="b3">βρόχος</b> and <b class="b3">μάραθ(ρ)ον</b> (s. vv.), both without further confirmation. For foreign (Pre-Greek) origin Chantraine l.c., Deroy Glotta 35, 191ff. Fur. 289 compares <b class="b3">μήρινθος</b>, <b class="b3">σμήρινθος</b> [[string]], [[thread]] and further <b class="b3">σμῆριγξ</b> [[hair]], <b class="b3">σμήριγγες πλεκταί</b>, <b class="b3">σειραί</b>, <b class="b3">βόστρυχοι</b> H. | |||
