ἀδευκής: Difference between revisions

|etymtx=Grammatical information: adj.<br />Meaning: unknown; said of [[ὄλεθρος]], [[πότμος]], [[φῆμις]] (Od.).<br />Dialectal forms: Myc. [[deukario]] \/[[Deukalion]]\/?<br />Origin: IE [Indo-European]X [probably] [0] *deuk-? [[to care]]?<br />Etymology: Presupposes, like <b class="b3">Πολυ-δεύκης</b>, a noun <b class="b3">*δεῦκος</b> n., which is unknown. (Not to Lat. [[dūco]] etc., Lagercrantz KZ 35, 276). Cf. <b class="b3">δεύκει φροντίζει</b> H., [[ἐνδυκέως]] [[careful]]; [[ἀδευκής]] would then be [[careless]], [[rücksichtslos]], which fits very well. In a Scholion on A. R. 1, 1027, [[δεῦκος]] is glossed as [[γλεῦκος]], which seems most improbable. (Is there a mistake for [[ΓΔΕΥΚΟΣ]]?) - The name [[Δευκαλίων]] may come from <b class="b3">*Λευκαλίων</b>, s. Bechtel Lex. s. [[ἀδευκής]].
