ἀλείφω: Difference between revisions

|etymtx=Grammatical information: v.<br />Meaning: [[anoint with oil]] (Il.).<br />Dialectal forms: Myc. [[enaripoto]] \/[[enaliptos]]\/; [[arepate]] \/[[aleiphatei]]\/; [[arepazoo]] \/[[aleiphzoos]]\/ <b class="b2">boiler (ζέω) of unguent</b>.<br />Derivatives: [[ἄλειφαρ]], <b class="b3">-ατος</b> [[unguent]], [[anoiting-oil]] (Il.) and [[ἄλειφα]] n. (> Lat. [[adeps]] ). [[ἀλοιφή]] [[anointing]], [[grease]] (<b class="b3">-α</b> from *-n̥t?, Szemerényi Studi Mic. 2, 1967, 23 n. 64).<br />Origin: IE [Indo-European] [00] <b class="b2">*h₂leibʰ-</b><br />Etymology: Generally connected with [[λίπος]] (q. v.), but this is impossible since the <b class="b3">α-</b> can no longer be a prothesis, and because of the <b class="b2">-p-</b> and because its meaning, [[fat]], is quite different. Connection with [[ἀλίνω]] is formally (<b class="b2">h₂lei(bʰ)-</b>) and semantically easy. S. [[sub verbo|s.v.]] (improbable suggestions Szemerényi Gnomon 42 (1971) 653.) Semantically comparable with Skt. <b class="b2">limpáti</b> [[smear]], [[stick]], [[adhere]], but Gr. <b class="b3">-φ-</b> makes this impossible (s. [[λίπος]]); Goth. [[bileiban]] etc.? Cf. Pok. 670 <b class="b2">leip-</b>.
