αἶσχος: Difference between revisions

|etymtx=Grammatical information: n.<br />Meaning: [[shame]], [[ugliness, pl. disgraceful deeds]] (Il.).<br />Other forms: Comp. superl. [[αἰσχίων]], [[αἴσχιστος]].<br />Derivatives: With [[ro-]] resp. [[u-]]stem [[αἰσχρός]] [[dishonouring]], [[ugly]] and [[αἰσχύνω]] [[dishonour]] Med. [[be ashamed]] (Il.), [[Αἰσχύλος]].<br />Origin: XX [etym. unknown]<br />Etymology: Compared with Goth. [[aiwiski]] n. `[[αἰσχύνη]]', which requires rather difficult forms: [[αἶσχος]] < <b class="b2">*aiguzghos</b> < <b class="b2">*aigʷʰs-kos</b>, [[aiwiski]] < <b class="b2">*aigʷʰes-ki-om</b>); the addition of [[-ko-]], [[-ki-]] after an [[s-]]stem is strange (on the Gothic word Mezger KZ 79, 1960, 40). The words will have nothing to do with each other. De Lamberterie, Adj. en [[υς]] 835-840, compares [[αἴδομαι]] <b class="b2">*aid-sk-</b>; semantically not easy.
