It may come from a noun (<b class="b3">*ῥάψ</b>, <b class="b3">*ῥαπ-ή</b> v.t.), but it can also be tranformation of a primary verb; cf. the examples in Schwyzer 735 f. -- Formally <b class="b3">ῥαπίζω</b> could be a zero grade formation of <b class="b3">ῥέπω</b>, <b class="b3">ῥόπαλον</b> and would indicate, if deverbative, a sweeping movement (of a rod, the hand etc.). Further s. [[ῥέπω]]; vgl. 1. <b class="b3">ῥώψ</b>, [[ῥάβδος]], [[ῥάμνος]]; also [[ῥάπτω]]. -- The word may well be Pre-Greek.
