Frisk Etymological English
Grammatical information: f.,
Meaning: Wicke, Vicia angustifolia (Pherekr.).
Other forms: ἄφακος (Schwyzer-Debrunner 30)
Origin: PG [a word of Pre-Greek origin]
Etymology: Dsc. and Galen think it comes from φακός lentil. The ἀ- is privative-pejorative acc. to Strömberg, Wortstudien 46f. (like Unkraut, but see Seiler, Studia Linguistica, 1952, 90f.). Frisk (Subst. priv. 20) proposed haplology from *ἀπο-φάκη (cf. ἀπό-λινον, ἀπό-μελι etc.). Chantr. notes: "L'emploi d'un thème en -η pour un thème en -ος attendu ne constitue pas une difficulté décisive et les hypothèses compliquées de Strömberg ne sont pas indispensable." This makes Fur. 373 more probable, who takes the ἀ- as a prothetic vowel and considers the word as a substr. word; note -ος: -η). Thus also Pisani, Paideia 11 (1956) 296.
Frisk Etymology German
ἀφάκη: {aphákē}
Forms: auch ἄφακος (Schwyzer-Debrunner 30)
Grammar: f.,
Meaning: Wicke, Vicia angustifolia (Pherekr., Arist. usw.).
Etymology: Von Dsk. und Gal. nach Aussehen und Gebrauch mit φακός Linse verglichen. Das anlautende ἀ- sucht Strömberg Wortstudien 46f. als privativ-pejorativ zu deuten; auch Haplologie aus *ἀποφάκη (vgl. ἀπόλινον, ἀπόμελι usw.) könnte in Betracht kommen (Frisk Subst. priv. 20). Die Stammbildung bereitet gewisse Schwierigkeiten, die Strömberg zu beseitigen versucht. — Anders Prellwitz und Lewy, s. Strömberg a. a. O. Vgl. auch Winter Prothet. Vokal 13.
