Frisk Etymological English
Grammatical information: ptc.
Meaning: grown together, bent together (Β 218); after it συνοχωκότος (gen. sg.) collapsed (Q. S. 7, 502).
Other forms: Perf. ptc. du.
Origin: GR [a formation built with Greek elements]
Etymology: To συνέχω, but explanation further unclear. After Brugmann (e.g. IF 13, 280) reduplicated formation like συν-οκωχή, ἀνοκωχή (s. v.) a.o. As however the reading συνοχωκότε seems more reliable, Wackernagel Gött. Nachr. 1902, 738f. (Kl. Schr. 1, 128f.) assumes a denominative *συνοχόω (from σύνοχος), which is however not unproblematic; cf. Schwyzer 766 n. 6 (w. lit.), where συνοχωκότε is supposed to be an enlargement of *συνοχότε (to *[σ]ε[σ]οχα). The form is rather to be understood as an articial formation to συνέχω, which on the one hand through rhythmical parallels (κεκορηότε, κεκοτηότι, βεβαρηότα a.o.), on the other hand through reduplicated forms as ὄρωρα and trough κ-perfects as μέμβλωκα could have been favoured. A natural word was συνοχωκότε certainly not. For intensive meaning Hartmann Festschr. Snell 250. -- Cf. also Chantraine Gramm. hom. 1, 424 m. n. 3.
