Frisk Etymological English

-ου
Grammatical information: m.
Meaning: north wind, north, also PN (Il.); s. Nielsen, Class. et Mediaeval. 7, 1ff.
Dialectal forms: (Att.) contr. βορρᾶς, -ᾶ(s. Scheller, Oxytonierung 114), Ion. βορέης, contr. βορῆς, -έω (Ion.), Lesb. βορίαις (ι < ε; αι for a).
Derivatives: βόρειος, Ion. βορήιος (Chantr. Form 52, Schwyzer 468 : 3) of the north wind ; fem. also βορε(ι)άς, βορηιάς (A.).- Local ladverbs: βορέηθεν, βορρᾶθεν, βορρόθεν etc. - Denom.: βορεύω come from the north (Thphr.).
Origin: IE [Indo-European]X [probably] [477] *gʷ(o)rH- mountain
Etymology: Uncertain. Taken as wind from the mountains, to a word for mountain seen in Skt.. girí-, Av. gairi-, Lith. gìrė wood, OCS. gora, cf. Illyr. bora mountain in names (Krahe IF 57, 125ff.); s. also δειράς. So the Υπερ-βόρεοι prop. are those living beyond the mountains (Pedersen KZ 36, 319). The formation, however, is unclear; s. Pedersen Cinq. décl. lat. 66, Schwyzer 461. (On wind names in -ίας Chantr. Form. 95.). Is it an IE formation?-
