ἀπελλόν
From LSJ
αἱ μέν ἀποφάσεις ἐπί τῶν θείων ἀληθεῖς, αἱ δέ καταφάσεις ἀνάρμοστοι τῇ κρυφιότητι τῶν ἀποῤῥήτων → as concerns the things of the gods, negative pronouncements are true, but positive ones are inadequate to their hidden character
English (LSJ)
Spanish (DGE)
chopo, Populus nigra Hsch.
Frisk Etymological English
Grammatical information: n.
Meaning: · αἴγειρος H.
Origin: XX [etym. unknown]
Etymology: The word has been connected with Lat. populus. Though I consider IE origin improbable, one might suppose *h₂pel- > ἀπελ- with po-h₂pel- > *popel-os. Here also Gm. Vielbaum (Kluge-Seebold s.v. Pappel)?
