The full grade <b class="b3">νεμέ-τωρ</b>, <b class="b3">νέμε-σις</b>, <b class="b3">νέμη-σις</b> a.o. follow wellknown patterns (<b class="b3">γενέ-τωρ γένε-σις</b> u.a.; but these are disyllabic roots); an agreeing zero grade fails. There never existed a "disyllabic root" e.g. Fraenkel Nom. ag. 2, 11). -- The widespread meanings of <b class="b3">νέμω</b> plus derivations provide a problem, which has hardly been definitely solved; Benveniste Noms d'agent 79 rightly stresses the idea of lawfull, regular, which characterizes the verb <b class="b3">νέμω</b> ("partager légalement, faire une attribution régulière"). Further lit.: E. Laroche Histoire de la racine nem- en grec ancien (Paris 1949; Études et Comm.VI); on <b class="b3">νόμος</b> esp.

(<b class="b3">ἐν χειρῶν νομῳ̃</b>, <b class="b3">-αῖς</b>). -- Of non-Greek words, that are interesting for the etymology, the Germanic verb for [[take]] agrees best to <b class="b3">νέμω</b>, Goth. [[niman]] etc.; further Latv. <b class="b2">ńęmu</b>, <b class="b2">ńem̂t</b> [[take]] (with secondary palatalisation of the anlaut). One might mention several nouns, which tell nothing for Greek: Av. <b class="b2">nǝmah-</b> n. [[loan]], Lat. [[numerus]] <b class="b2">number etc.</b>, OIr. [[nem]] f. [[gift]] (cf. [[Gift]] : [[geben]]; also <b class="b3">δόσις</b>), Lith. <b class="b2">nùoma</b> f. [[rent]] (vowel as in <b class="b3">νω-μάω</b>). -- The with <b class="b3">νέμω</b> also formally identical verb Skt. <b class="b2">námati</b> [[bow]], [[bend]] can only be combined with uncontrollable hypotheses. After Laroche (s. above) p. 263 <b class="b3">νέμω</b> would prop be. [[faire le geste de se pencher en tendant la main]]. -- Lit. and further details in WP. 2, 330f., Pok. 763 f., W.-Hofmann s.
