|etymtx=Grammatical information: m.<br />Meaning: [[heaven]], [[sky]] (Il.), also personified (Hes.).<br />Other forms: Dor. Boeot. | |etymtx=Grammatical information: m.<br />Meaning: [[heaven]], [[sky]] (Il.), also personified (Hes.).<br />Other forms: Dor. Boeot. [[ὠρανός]], Aeol. [[ὤρανος]], [[ὄρανος]] (both prob. for <b class="b3">ὄρρ-</b>, s. below).<br />Compounds: Often as 1. member, e.g. <b class="b3">οὑρανο-μήκης</b> <b class="b2">sky-high</b> (ε 239); in hypostases like <b class="b3">ἐπ-ουράν-ιος</b> <b class="b2">in the sky</b> (Il.).<br />Derivatives: 1. Dimin. [[οὑρανίσκος]] m. <b class="b2">tent-roof, palate</b> (hell.), also name of a constellation (sch.; Scherer Gestirnnamen 193); 2. <b class="b3">οὑράν-ιος</b> [[heavenly]] (Pi., IA.), <b class="b3">-ίς</b> f. (AP); <b class="b3">-ία</b> f. name of one of the Muses (Hes.); 3. <b class="b3">Οὑραν-ίωνες</b> ([[θεοί]]) m. pl. <b class="b2">the heavenly (gods)</b> (Hom., Hes.), also [[the Titans]] (Ε 898; from [[Οὑρανός]]); <b class="b3">-ίδης</b>, Dor. <b class="b3">-ίδας</b> <b class="b2">son of Ouranos</b>, pl. [[the Titans]], also [[the heavenly]] (Hes., Pi.; Fraenkel Nom. ag. 2, 20); 4.<b class="b3">Οὑραν-ιάς</b> f. <b class="b2">game to worship Ourania</b> (Sparta); 5. <b class="b3">οὑραν-ίζω</b> or <b class="b3">-ίζομαι</b> <b class="b2">to go up high</b> (A.Fr. 766 M.), <b class="b3">-ιάζω</b> <b class="b2">to toss up high</b> (H. s. [[οὑρανίαν]]), <b class="b3">-οῦσθαι</b> <b class="b2">raised up into the sky, to become deified</b> with <b class="b3">-ωσις</b> (Eust.).<br />Origin: XX [etym. unknown]<br />Etymology: As the Aeol. variation <b class="b3">ὠρ-</b>, <b class="b3">ὀρ-</b> prob. represents a geminated <b class="b3">ὀρρ-</b> (Wackernagel Unt. 136 n. 1), the basis will have been <b class="b3">*(Ϝ)ορσανός</b> with accent as [[ὀρφανός]] and so perh. from a noun <b class="b3">*(Ϝ)ορσό-</b> = Skt. <b class="b2">varṣá-</b> n. m. [[rain]] (cf. Wackernagel KZ 29, 129 = Kl. Schr. 1,632). As e.g. [[ὄχανον]], [[ξόανον]] can go back to [[ἔχω]], [[ξέω]], [[οὑρανός]] can as nom. ag. belong to a primary verb <b class="b3">*Ϝερσ-</b> = Skt. <b class="b2">várṣati</b> [[rain]]; it can however also be derived from the iterative [[οὑρέω]] (s. v.), like Indo-Ir. nouns in <b class="b2">-ana</b> are connected with second. verbs in <b class="b2">-ayati</b> ( = Gr. <b class="b3">-έω</b>, Wack.-Debrunner II: 2, 198ff.); meaning then "rainmaker" or metaph. "moistener, impregnator" (Wackernagel l.c.; cf. [[ἕρση]]). -- After Specht KZ 66, 199ff. (with Schulze), Fraenkel (s.Wb. s. <b class="b2">viršùs</b>) a.o. as "der zur Höhe in Beziehung stehende" to Skt. <b class="b2">varṣman-</b> m. n. [[hight]], Lith. <b class="b2">viršùs</b> <b class="b2">upper, highest seat</b>, to which one connected also <b class="b3">Ἔρρος ὁ Ζεύς</b> H. (IE <b class="b2">*u̯er-s-</b> WP. 1, 267, Pok. 1151f.?); neither factually nor formally to be preferred. It has also been suggested that the word is of foreign, i.e. Pre-Greek, origin (DELG); note that <b class="b3">-αν-</b> is difficult to account for if the word were of IE origin. -- Against the old, often repeated but certainly wrong identification with the Skt. gods name <b class="b2">Varuṇaḥ</b> s. except Wackernagel l.c. also Thieme Mitra and Aryaman (Trans. Connecticut Acad. 41 [1957]) 60. | ||
