[[Macedonians]], sg. <b class="b3">-ών</b> (IA.) wiht <b class="b3">Μακεδον-ία</b>, <b class="b3">-ίη</b>, <b class="b3">-ικός</b> <b class="b2">Macedonia, -nian</b> (IA.), also <b class="b3">ἡ Μακεδον-ίς</b> (Hdt.), <b class="b3">-ῖτις</b> (Ael.), i.e. [[γῆ]], <b class="b3">-ισσα</b> [[Macedonian woman]] (Stratt.); [[μακεδονίζω]] <b class="b2">be pro-Macedonian</b> (Plb., Plu.). With long medial vowel [[Μακηδών]] (Hes. Fr. 5, 2, Kall.), <b class="b3">-δονία</b>, <b class="b3">-ίη</b> (hell. poet.). Beside <b class="b3">Μακε-δόν-ες</b> the form <b class="b3">μακε-δν-ός</b> seems to show ablaut, zero grade in the suffix, which is also seen (without variant <b class="b3">-δόν-</b>) also in <b class="b3">γοε-δν-ός</b> a. o. (Solmsen Wortforsch. 46). A suffixal, mostly primary <b class="b3">-δόν-</b> is at home in animal-names, some appellatives as well as in nom. actionis a. o. (Chantraine Form. 360ff., Schwyzer 529 f.). Not cognate with <b class="b3">μακ-ρός</b>, <b class="b3">μῆκ-ος</b>; cf. Specht Ursprung 199 u. 345. A by-form is [[Μακέτης]] (Gell.), f. <b class="b3">-τις</b> (Str., AP) and <b class="b3">-τία</b>, [[τη]] (AP), <b class="b3">-τα</b> (pap.; Mayser 1: 3, 24); cf. [[οἰκέτης]] etc.; s. Schwyzer 498 n. 13, Krahe ZONF 11, 90. -<br />Origin: PG [a word of Pre-Greek origin]<br />Etymology: After Fick BB 26, 242 the [[Μακεδόνες]] were prop. "Highlanders" (beside [[Μακέτα]] *'Highland'). New, very daring and hypothetical interpretation by Pisani Arch. glottol. it. 33, 72: from <b class="b3">*Μακι-κεδόνες</b> "of who the Earth is high", from <b class="b3">μακ-ι-</b> (: <b class="b3">μακ-ρός</b>) and a Maced. word agreeing with [[χθών]] (s.v.); the second member is more than doubtful; the whole must be rejected. Doubts on the Greek origin of [[Μακεδόνες]] by Krahe Glotta 17, 159. -- Cf. [[μηκεδανός]] to [[μῆκος]]. Fur. does not discuss the forms. The name seems rather non-IE, so Pre-Greek; cf. <b class="b3">Λακεδαίμων</b> (cf. Fick, Vorgr. Ortsnamen 90). An analysis <b class="b3">μακε-δνος</b> is impossible in an IE word; also the form with [[τ]] points to Pre-Greek. The meaning of the adj. strongly suggests that it is cognate with [[μακρός]], but this can hardly be accounted for in IE morphology. | ||
