English (Autenrieth)

(ἄγαμαι): wondrous; hence, illustrious, high-born, epithet of honor applied to rulers and nations; freq. to the suitors; to the noble πομπηες, Od. 13.71; to Tith<<>*<>>nus, Od. 5.1; and thrice to Persephone.

English (Slater)

ᾰγαυός illustrious, august ἐξ ἀγαυῶν Αἰολιδᾶν (P. 4.72) ἀγαυὸν καλάμῳ συνάγεν θρόον (Pae. 9.36) βασιλῆες ἀγαυοὶ fr. 133. 3.

Greek Monotonic

ἀγαυός: -ή, -όν (α ευφωνικό, γαίω), διαπρεπής, ένδοξος, λαμπρός, ευγενής, σε Όμηρ.· υπερθ. ἀγαυότατος, σε Ομήρ. Οδ.

Russian (Dvoretsky)

ἀγαυός: (досто)славный, прославленный (κήρυκες, μνηστῆρες, πομπῆες, Περσεφόνεια Hom.; Αἰολιδαί Pind.; Πέρσαι Aesch.; Φυλεύς Theocr.).

Frisk Etymological English

Grammatical information: adj.
Meaning: admirable, noble (Il.).
Origin: XX [etym. unknown]
Etymology: Acc. to Schwyzer IF 30, 430ff., Aeolic = ἀγα-Ϝός; perhaps to ἄγαμαι. Ruijgh Lingua 25, 1970, proposes expressive gemination of the F. But a (IE or Greek) suffix -u̯o- is doubtful (Chantr. Form. 124: "le suffixe était mort en grec"); so perhaps the word is Pre-Greek. Differently Curtius 172, Solmsen KZ 29, 111, Burger REIE 1, 447ff.

Middle Liddell

γαίω, illustrious, noble, Hom.; Sup. -ότατος, Od.

Frisk Etymology German

ἀγαυός: {agauós}
Meaning: etwa verehrungswürdig, edel, ep. und poet., späte Prosa, bei Homer immer von Königen und Herren.
Etymology: Nach Schwyzer IF 30, 430ff. (gegen Schulze Q. 64) äolisch = ἀγαϝός; viell. zu ἄγαμαι. Anders Curtius 172, Solmsen KZ 29, 111, Burger REIE 1, 447ff.
