|etymtx=Grammatical information: m.<br />Meaning: <b class="b2">depth (of the sea)</b> (A.).<br />Compounds: | |etymtx=Grammatical information: m.<br />Meaning: <b class="b2">depth (of the sea)</b> (A.).<br />Compounds: [[ἄβυσσος]] [[bottomless]] (Hdt.), subst. f. [[abyss]], [[underworld]] (= Hebr. [[tǝhōm]], LXX, NT, Pap.; cf. Schwyzer RhM 81, 203); [[βυσσοδομεύω]] <b class="b2">build in the deep > brood over (in the deep of one's soul), ponder deeply</b> (Od.), m.c. for [[βυσσοδομέω]] (Eust., Suid.) like [[οἰκοδομέω]] etc., s. K. Meister, Hom. Kunstspr. 31, Chantr., Gramm. hom. 1, 368.<br />Derivatives: [[βύθιος]] [[of the depth]] (late), fem. [[βυθῖτις]] ([[ψάμμος]] AP; s. Redard Les noms grecs en <b class="b3">-της</b> 23). Denom. [[βυθίζω]] [[sink]] (S.). Ptc. [[βυθόωσα]] ([[ῥίζα]]) [[going in the deep]] (Nic. Th. 505). - Further [[βυσσός]] m. [[depth of the sea]] (Il.), [[βυσσόθεν]] (S.). -- Also [[βύσσα]] (Opp.; after [[βῆσσα]]? so prob. secondary); further <b class="b3">βύσσαλοι βόθροι</b>, <b class="b3">βυσσαλεύοντι τῳ̃ βυθῳ̃ ἐφικνουμένῳ</b> H.; also <b class="b3">βυθμός ἄντρον</b>, [[πυθμήν]], <b class="b3">καὶ βυθμήν</b> (perh. corrupt).<br />Origin: PG [a word of Pre-Greek origin]<br />Etymology: A basis <b class="b3">*βυθι̯ός</b> or <b class="b3">*βυθσός</b> for [[βυσσός]] does not inspire confidence. Connecting [[βαθύς]] (and [[βῆσσα]]) one posited a labio-velar, but then the connection of [[βαθύς]] with [[βενθος]] must be abandoned, for which there is no reason. Also assuming a labio-velar would mean that the <b class="b3">β-</b> could not be regular (one expects <b class="b3">γυ-</b>): it would have to be introduced from [[βῆσσα]], which a guess. Connecting <b class="b3">γυθίσσων διορύσσων</b> H. would give the same problem; the form can better be left aside. - The old attempts to connect [[βαθύς]] and [[βῆσσα]] (with [[α]] against [[υ]]) are most improbable and should now be abandoned. [[βυθός]] - [[βυσσός]] shows a typical variation of Pre-Greek words; see Fur.248-263, e.g. [[ἄνηθον]]\/[[ἄνησον]]. The conclusion is confirmed by <b class="b3">βυσσαλ-</b> with a typical Pre-Greek suffix, cf. [[κόρυδος]] beside [[κορύδαλος]]\/[[κορυδαλλός]] (Fur. 254) and perhaps <b class="b3">ἄμυσσος κῆτος</b>, and also <b class="b3">ἀβυδόν βαθύ</b>. | ||
