|etymtx=Grammatical information: v.<br />Meaning: <b class="b2">touch with the hand, occupy onseself with</b> (Ion. Dor. Arc.; not in real Attic or in Hom.; Wackernagel Unt. 222).<br />Other forms: Aor. <b class="b3">θιγεῖν</b> (Lac. <b class="b3">σιγῆν</b> Ar. Lys. 1004), fut. med. <b class="b3">προσ-θίξῃ</b> (E. Herakl. 652; codd. <b class="b3">-εις</b>), <b class="b3">τεθίξομαι</b> (E. Hipp. 1086), aor. pass. <b class="b3">θιχθῆναι</b> (S. E.),<br />Compounds: also with prefix like <b class="b3">προσ-</b>, <b class="b3">ἐπι-</b>, <b class="b3">ὑπο-</b>,<br />Derivatives: <b class="b3">θίξις</b> [[touch]] (Hp., Arist.), <b class="b3">θίγμα</b> <b class="b2">id.</b> (Pergam.), [[staining]] (<b class="b3">θιγμάτων μιασμάτων</b> H.); uncertain <b class="b3">θίγημα</b> (AP 12, 209; cod. <b class="b3">φιλήματα</b>) and <b class="b3">θιγάνα</b> <b class="b2">cover?</b> (Delph., Labyad-inscr. C 39).<br />Origin: IE [Indo-European] [244] <b class="b2">*dʰeigʰ-</b> [[smear]], [[knead]]<br />Etymology: With <b class="b3">θιγγάνω</b>, with its double nasalization, agrees in Lat. infixed [[fingō]] [[spread]], [[knead]], [[form]], [[shape]], in Arm. the suffixed [[diz-anem]] [[heap up]]. This etymology (doubts in Schwyzer 701 and in W.-Hofmann s. [[fingō]]) presupposes however, that an original <b class="b3">χ</b> (IE <b class="b2">ǵh</b>) after nasal became <b class="b3">γ</b> (which is incorrect, cf. <b class="b3">ὄμφαλος</b>; on <b class="b3">θάμβος</b> s.v.); from the present the <b class="b3">γ</b> would have gone to the aorist <b class="b3">θιγεῖν</b> (for <b class="b3">*τιχεῖν</b>). Sanskrit has an athematic root present <b class="b2">déhmi</b> [[smear]], IE <b class="b2">*dhéiǵh-mi</b>, with 3. pl. ipf. <b class="b2">ádihan</b> (= <b class="b3">ἔθιγον</b>?); here also Goth. pres. ptc. dat. [[Þamma digandin]] <b class="b2">τῳ̃ πλάσαντι</b>. - Further cognates s. <b class="b3">τεῖχος</b>.
