Niedermann (Neuchâtel 1944) 67ff.<br />Origin: IE [Indo-European] [315] <b class="b2">*h₂or-en-</b>? (or <b class="b2">*h₃er-en-</b>) [[bird]]<br />Etymology: Both [[ὄρνεον]] and [[ὄρν-ι-ς]] go back on a ν-stem (in [[ὄρνεον]] enlarged with a prob. gender-indicating ε(ι)ο- suffix (τὰ ὄρνεα older than τὸ [[ὄρνεον]]? Chantraine Form. 62; cf. Risch $ 49 a); diff. Wackernagel Unt. 165 n. 1 (stem <b class="b2">-neu̯o-</b>). The more usual [[ὄρνις]] is an orig. feminine [[ι-]]deriv. (cf. Schwyzer 465 a. 573), to which analogic. or popular θ- resp. χ- suffixes were added (Schw. 510 u. 496, Chantraine Form. 366 a. 377; but s. below). The for Greek to be assumed [[n-]]stem is found back in Germ. and Hitt. word for [[eagle]], e.g. Goth. ara (gen. <b class="b2">*arin-s</b>), OWNo. [[are]] and <b class="b2">ǫrn</b> (< <b class="b2">*arn-u-</b> with u-flexion), OE [[earn]] etc., Hitt. <b class="b2">ḫara-š</b>, gen. <b class="b2">ḫaran-aš</b>, IE *or-(e</b>/o-)n-. With this interchanges an l-stem in Balto-Slavic, z.B. Lith. erẽlis, arẽlis, OCS orьlъ, Russ. orël [[eagle]]. Further forms, also from Armen. and Celt., in WP. 1, 135, Pok. 325f., Fraenkels. erẽlis, Vasmer s. [[orël]]; w. rich lit.; older lit. also in Bq. - The suffixes -ιθ->, -ιχ- may be Pre-Greek.
