|etymtx=Grammatical information: n.<br />Meaning: [[net]], [[strick]] (Od.).<br />Dialectal forms: Myc. [[dekutuwoko]] \/[[dektuworgos]]\/<br />Compounds: <b class="b3">δικτυ-βόλος</b> (AP, Opp.) beside <b class="b3">δικτυο-βόλος</b> (Poll.) after <b class="b3">δικτυ-αρχέω</b> (inscr.) with elided <b class="b2">-o-</b>?<br />Derivatives: Dimin. [[δικτύδιον]] (Poll.); [[δικτυεύς]] <b class="b2">fisher (with a net)</b> (Str.) with [[δικτυεία]] [[fishing]] (Ael.); also [[δικτυΐα]], s. Scheller Oxytonierung 41. - [[δικτυώδης]] [[netlike]] (Hp. Ep.), [[δικτυωτός]] [[forming a net]] (LXX); from [[δικτυόομαι]]? (LXX). PN [[Δίκτυς]].<br />Origin: PG [a word of Pre-Greek origin]<br />Etymology: From an <b class="b2">u-</b>stem ([[δίκτυ]] only EM 275, 27; from the plural [[δίκτυα]], Schwyzer 460f.) of [[δικεῖν]] [[throw]] (s. v.). The Myc. form has <b class="b2">-e-</b> as variant of <b class="b2">-i-</b>, which points to a Pre-Greek word (see Bader, Type Demiourgos $ 23; Chadwick, Myc. Studies Wingspread, 19-21; cf. on [[δίσκος]]); on Pre-Greek <b class="b2">u-</b>stems Heubeck, Praegraeca 36; to avoid this conclusion Chantraine, REG 80 (1967)1-5 assumes <b class="b2">deiktu-</b> for Mycenaean. So the Myc. form nicely confirms Furnée's conclusion that <b class="b3">δικ-</b> is Pre-Greek (s. [[δίσκος]]).
