Οὐ γὰρ ἀργίας ὤνιονὑγίεια καὶ ἀπραξίας, ἅ γε δὴ μέγιστα κακῶν ταῖς νόσοις πρόσεστι, καὶ οὐδὲν διαφέρει τοῦ τὰ ὄμματα τῷ μὴ διαβλέπειν καὶ τὴν φωνὴν τῷ μὴ φθέγγεσθαι φυλάττοντος ὁ τὴν ὑγίειαν ἀχρηστίᾳ καὶ ἡσυχίᾳ σῴζειν οἰόμενος → For health is not to be purchased by idleness and inactivity, which are the greatest evils attendant on sickness, and the man who thinks to conserve his health by uselessness and ease does not differ from him who guards his eyes by not seeing, and his voice by not speaking

English (LSJ)

ἡ,    A elk, Paus.5.12.1.

German (Pape)

[Seite 100] ἡ, das Elch, Elenthier, Paus. 5, 12, 1.

Spanish (DGE)

-ης, ἡ
alce ἄλκαι ... κέρατα ἐπὶ ταῖς ὄφρυσιν ἔχουσιν Paus.5.12.1.

• Etimología: Al igual que lat. alce, alces es un préstamo del germánico, cf. anord. elgr, aaa. ëlho, ags. eolh, ai. ṛśya-.

Frisk Etymological English

2.
Grammatical information: f.
Meaning: elk (Paus. )
Origin: IE [Indo-European]X [probably] [302] *h₁el- red, brown
Etymology: Like Lat. alcēs, alcē (Caesar), a loan from Germanic. Cf. ON elgr from PGm. *alʒí-, beside which a form with initial stress, PGm. *álχ-, is supposed on which alcēs and ἄλκη go back. The West-Germanic form has e-: OHG. elahho > NHG Elch, OE eolh, and has a different stem, PGm. *élχa(n)-. Slavic forms like Russ. losь elk suppose PIE *olḱis , which are compared with ON elgr. - One connects the root with a great number of words for animals , e. g. ἔλαφος (q. v.), see Pok. 302, and assumes that the root indicated a colour; what Frisk called "sehr hypothetisch und unwahrscheinlich." - I think that an IE word or root must be doubted; it may well be a loan from a non-IE language.

Frisk Etymology German

ἄλκη: 2.
{álkē}
Meaning: Elch (Paus. 5, 12, 1; 9, 21, 3).
Etymology : Wie lat. alcēs, alcē (seit Caesar) aus dem Germanischen entlehnt. Am nächsten steht ano. elgr aus urg. *alʒí-, woneben eine Form mit Anlautsbetonung anzunehmen ist, urg. *álχ-, auf die alcēs und ἄλκη zurückgehen. Die westgermanische Form lautet dagegen mit e- an: ahd. elho > nhd. Elch, ags. eolh, und weicht auch in der Stammbildung ab, urg. *élχa(n)-. Slavische Formen wie russ. losь Elch führen auf idg. *olḱis zurück und können also mit ano. elgr identisch sein. Eine dritte Ablautsform wird in aind. ŕ̥śya- Antilopenbock vermutet. — Unter Abtrennung eines suffixalen -- wird ἄλκη ebenso wie eine Menge anderer Wörter, u. a. ἔλαφος (s. d.), sehr hypothetisch und unwahrscheinlich auf eine idg. "Farbwurzel" *el-, *ol- rot, braun zurückgeführt, WP. 1, 154f., Pok. 302ff., W.-Hofmann s. alcēs mit Lit. Noch kühnere Kombinationen bei Specht Ursprung 113ff.
