Ξ 257) with <b class="b3">-ασμός</b> (Hp., Plu.), <b class="b3">-αστικός</b> (M. Ant.).<br />Origin: PG [a word of Pre-Greek origin]X [probably]<br />Etymology: The regular character of the formal system, which is built on an element <b class="b3">Ϝριπ-</b> (wit secondary shortening <b class="b3">Ϝριπ-</b>), shows that it is a (relatively) late creation. No convincing agreement outside Greek. The formally agreeing MLG [[wrīven]] [[rub]], [[wipe]], [[scour]], [[draw]], MHG [[rīben]] <b class="b2">turn rubbing </b> could be connected if we assume a basic meaning [[turn]] ("rub, throw with a turning movement"; cf. with the last Lat. [[torqueō]]); WP. 1, 280, Pok. 1159. A further analysis in <b class="b2">u̯r-ī-p-</b> "opens wide perspectives"; NHG [[werfen]] (prop. *'turn')not to [[ῥέπω]], [[ῥέμβομαι]], [[ῥάβδος]]{{)} s. vv.) etc. S. also [[ῥίψ]]. -- An IE <b class="b2">*u̯r-iH-p-</b> seems not a very probable structure; is the word Pre-Greek?
