κορίαννον: Difference between revisions

|etymtx=Grammatical information: n.<br />Meaning: [[coriander]], [[Coriandrum sativum]]; also [[κορίανδρον]] (Gloss.), dissimilated [[κολίανδρον]] (Gp., Sch.); [[κορίαμβλον]] (H.); (Anakr., Kom., Thphr.)<br />Other forms: shortened [[κόριον]] (Hp., Nic., pap.)<br />Dialectal forms: Myk. [[korijadono]], <b class="b2">koria₂dana</b> = \/[[korihadnon]]\/.<br />Origin: PG [a word of Pre-Greek origin]<br />Etymology: Mediterranean. The Form <b class="b3">-ανδρον</b> is prob. folketymological, as is <b class="b3">-αμβλον</b> (after [[ἀμβλύς]]?); the short form [[κόριον]] with allusion to [[κόρις]] [[bug]] (Strömberg Pflanzennamen 61?; because of the stench?). Cf. Hatzidakis Glotta 2, 297f. Szemerényi, Gnomon 43 (1971) 674 points to the comparison with Akkad. <b class="b2">huri'anu</b> <b class="b2">id.</b>; but this does not explain the Myc. <b class="b2">-d-</b>. The Myc. <b class="b2">-dn-</b> points to a Pre-Greek word. (I doubt about the folk-etym. supposed by Frisk.)
