Wörter 1, 182 ff., Chantraine Gramm. hom. 1, 358. -- Besides from the presentstem, partly also backformed from <b class="b3">ναιετάω</b>, <b class="b3">περι-</b>, <b class="b3">μετα-ναιέται</b> m. pl. <b class="b2">who live around, with</b> (Ω 488 a.

(<b class="b3">ἐν-)ναετήρ</b> m. <b class="b2">id.</b> (AP), f. <b class="b3">ἐνναέτειρα</b> (APl.).<br />Origin: XX [etym. unknown]<br />Etymology: On <b class="b3">μετανάστης</b> s. v. The causative meaning of <b class="b3">νάσσαι</b> is prob. arisen from the opposition to intr. <b class="b3">νασθῆναι</b>. The meaning <b class="b2">be situated</b>, often with <b class="b3">ναιετάω</b>, esp. in <b class="b3">εὖ ναιετάων</b>, rarely with <b class="b3">ναίω</b>, is not convincingly explained; perh. we must start from the ptc. <b class="b3">εὖ ναιετάων</b> prop. <b class="b2">where one lives well</b> with the same shift as e.g. in <b class="b3">ὁ ἐπιβάλλων</b> <b class="b2">whom it is well</b> w.o. (type café chantant, s. Debrunner Mus. Helv. 1, 31 ff.); from the ptc. the use might have shifted to the finite forms, sometimes to the primary <b class="b3">ναίω</b>. Leumann Hom. Wörter 191 ff. tries to explain the remarkable meaning from a wrong interpretation of Γ 387; against this Fraenkel Gnomon 23, 374. The verbal stem <b class="b3">νασ-</b> (<b class="b3">ναίω</b> < <b class="b3">*νάσ-ι̯ω</b>) is isolated. Usu. it is, but with doubtful right, considered as a reduced grade of <b class="b3">νεσ-</b> in <b class="b3">νέομαι</b> (to which belongs <b class="b3">νόστος</b> and also <b class="b3">ἄσμενος</b>?); s. there w. further lit. Rejected by Kretschmer Glotta 3, 337. Cf. <b class="b3">ναός</b>. - <b class="b3">νασ-</b> may be Pre-Greek.
