|etymtx=Grammatical information: adj.<br />Meaning: uncertain; <b class="b3">θάρσος ἄητον Φ</b> 395 ([[θ]]. [[ἄατον]] Q. S. 1, 217).<br />Origin: PG [a word of Pre-Greek origin]X [probably]<br />Etymology: Cf. H. <b class="b3">ἄητοι ἀκόρεστοι</b>, [[ἄπληστοι]]; <b class="b3">ἀήτους μεγάλας</b>. <b class="b3">Αἰσχύλος ᾽Αθάμαντι</b>. Hdn. Gr. 1,220 <b class="b3">ἄητος ὁ ἀκατάπαυστος</b>. The first explanation connects the word with [[ἄμεναι]], [[ἆσαι]]; it would then differ from [[ἄατος]], [[ἆτος]] through the long vowel (which is not probable). Perhaps the same word as [[αἴητος]] (<b class="b3">πέλωρ αἴητον Σ</b> 410 said of Hephaistos). If so, the variation [[α]]\/[[αι]] might point to a substr. word (metrical lengthening is improbable, [[α]] < [[αι]] impossible); FUR 253 (but his connection with [[ἀήσυλος]] is quite uncertain). Palmer, Interpretation 339 connects the word said of Hephaistos with Myc. [[ajameno]] as [[artist]]; improbable. Not to [[ἄημι]], LfgrE. S.
