Frisk Etymological English

Grammatical information: m.
Meaning: drought; squalor (Hp.).
Derivatives: αὐχμηρός dry, dirty (Hp.; Chantr. Form. 232f.). - Denom. αὐχμέω, also αὐχμάω, be dry, dirty (Od.).
Origin: XX [etym. unknown]
Etymology: To αὖος with -χμ-, of which the origin is unclear, s. Schwyzer 493 n. 4. Note that Demiraj, Alb. Etym. s.v. thaj refers to a reconstruction *sauk-no, which would mean that the word is not cognate with αὖος. Cf. also σαυκόν ξηρόν, σαυχμόν (s.v.). Perhaps Pre-Gr.
