(adduced by Schrader KZ 30, 481) is because of the uncertain meaning (prob. [[figure]], [[apparition]]; also [[change]], even [[artifice]]?) no judgement possible. However, as the Myc. form has no <b class="b2">w-</b>, the etym. cannot be correct. -- On the many derivv. of the Balt. verbs, which are uninteresting for Greek, s. Fraenkel s. <b class="b2">ver̃pti</b> and <b class="b2">virpė́ti</b> w. rich lit.; older lit. in Bq. -- Further cf. [[ῥέπω]], [[ῥέμβομαι]].
