{{etym
|etymtx=-εως</b> of toch PG [Pre-Greek]?<br />Grammatical information: m. (f.)<br />Meaning: [[viper]] (Att.).<br />Derivatives: Dimin. <b class="b3">ἐχίδιον</b> (Arist.) and the plant-name <b class="b3">ἔχιον</b> (Dsc.; because of the resemblance of the fruit with the head of a snake, Strömberg Pflanzennamen 54), <b class="b3">ἐχίειον</b> (Nic.); further <b class="b3">ἐχιῆες</b> pl. = <b class="b3">ἔχεις</b> (Nic. Th. 133, only metrical variant?; cf. also Boßhardt 148); <b class="b3">ἐχῖτις</b> f. name of a stone (Plin., after the colour; cf. Redard Les noms grecs en <b class="b3">-της</b> 54). - Fem. <b class="b3">ἔχιδνα</b> [[viper]] (Ion.-Att., Hes. Th. 297), mostly thought to be a <b class="b3">ια-</b>deriv. from <b class="b3">*ἐχιδνός</b> (Schwyzer 475; see Specht Ursprung 229 and 377), with <b class="b3">ἐχιδν-αῖος</b> and <b class="b3">-ήεις</b> (hell.); this is not very probable, however; <b class="b3">-δνα</b> is a typical Pre-Greek suffix; it must have been a loan from Pre-Greek.<br />Origin: IE [Indo-European] [292] <b class="b2">*h₁eǵhi-</b> [[snake]] (sic; wrong Pok.)<br />Etymology: If the interpretation of <b class="b3">ἐχῖνος</b> is correct, <b class="b3">ἔχις</b> must have a palatal <b class="b2">ǵh</b>. The comparable words for [[snake]], Skt. <b class="b2">áhi-</b> = Av. <b class="b2">aži-</b> like Arm. [[iž]], nust then be connected with <b class="b3">ὄφις</b>. Also Welsh [[euod]] [[Schafwürmer]], [[euon]] [[Pferdewurmer]] may belong to <b class="b3">ὄφις</b> (Pedersen Vergl. Gramm. 1, 99, Lewis-Pedersen 29, Pok. 44. - Cf. also [[ἔγχελυς]].
