Frisk Etymological English

1.
Grammatical information: f.
Meaning: gleam, radiance (Il.)
Derivatives: αἰγλήεις id. (Il.).
Origin: XX [etym. unknown]
Etymology: The connection with Skt. éjati to move, tremble (cf. αἰγανέη), e.g. Thumb IF I4, 343f. is rightly rejected by DELG. - The epithets Ἀπόλλων Ἀσγελάτας (Anaphe) and Ἀπόλλων Αἰγλάτας (Anaphe, Thera) are often compared, but I think they are unrelated. It is impossible to explain the form of a normal noun from a word showing a variation αἰγλ- \/ ἀσγ(ε)λ-; this variation looks very much like those of Pre-Greek words, and the epithet, of which the meaning is unknown, may well be of Pre-Greek origin; but there is no evidence that the noun is of the same origin. The noun may be of Pre-Greek origin - it has no etymology - but that must not be the same oigin as the epithet. For the epithet see with the names.
