Menander, Monostichoi, 439

Greek Monolingual

η (Α νῆσσα και αττ. τ. νῆττα και βοιωτ. δωρ. τ. νᾶσσα)
γένος νηκτικών πτηνών που, σύμφωνα με τη σημερινή ταξινόμηση, ανήκουν στην οικογένεια τών νησσιδών, κν. πάπια
νεοελλ.
φρ. «ποιεί την νήσσαν» — υποκρίνεται ότι δεν καταλαβαίνει ή υποκρίνεται ότι δεν ξέρει, αλλ. κάνει την πάπια.
[ΕΤΥΜΟΛ. Η λ. ανάγεται σε ΙΕ τ. ntiә «πάπια» με n- φωνηεντικό, θ. σε -ti- (πρβλ. λιθουαν. antis, αρχ. ινδ. ātī, αμφίβολης σημ., λατ. anas, anatis, αρχ. άνω γερμ. anut κ.λπ.), λαρυγγικό φθόγγο (απ' όπου το μακρό φωνήεν nā- του τ., πρβλ. νᾶσσα) και κατάλ. - χαρακτηριστική θηλυκών ονομάτων ζώων (πρβλ. κίσσα, μέλισσα). Η σύνδεση της λ. με το θέμα νη- του νήχω «κολυμπώ» δεν φαίνεται πιθανή].
