El. [<b class="b3">πο]ιϜέοι</b> (beside repeated <b class="b3">ποιέοι</b>). Acc. to usual interpretation (lit. in Bq and WP. 1, 510) <b class="b3">ποιϜέω</b> is derived from a noun <b class="b3">*ποιϜός</b>, which would be found in <b class="b3">ἀρτο-ποιός</b> a.o. An independent noun <b class="b3">*ποιϜός</b> cannot however be deduced from the 2. member, as the relevant adjectives seems recent and may have been derived from the verbal expressions (<b class="b3">τοξοφόρ-ος</b> : <b class="b3">τόξον φέρειν</b>, <b class="b3">λογογράφ-ος</b> : <b class="b3">λόγον γράφειν</b> etc.). One might think that in the simplex we have a compound of <b class="b3">-ποιέω</b> that was made independent (Schwyzer 726 n. 7). -- The general meaning [[make]], [[create]] may have arisen from the most different concrete special meanings. Nothing forbids to connect a verbal noun <b class="b3">*ποι-Ϝός</b> with <b class="b2">u̯o-</b>suffix (Schwyzer 472) with a verb [[heap]], [[accumulate]], [[fit together]], which is preserved in Indo-Iran., e.g. Skt. <b class="b2">cinóti</b>, and also has representatives in Slav., e.g. OCS [[činъ]] <b class="b3">τάξις</b>' with [[činiti]] [[order]], [[form]]; IE <b class="b2">kʷei-</b> (WP. 1, 509f., Pok. 637f.). It is however obvious to combine, the <b class="b2">u̯-</b>element in <b class="b3">*ποιϜός</b> with the <b class="b2">u̯-</b>element in <b class="b2">cinóti</b> : so <b class="b3">ποιϜέω</b> from <b class="b2">*kʷoi̯-u̯-éi̯ō</b> beside <b class="b2">cinóti</b> from <b class="b2">*kʷi-n-éu̯-ti</b> approx. as Goth. [[straujan]] 'strew' from <b class="b2">*strou̯-éi̯ō</b> beside Skt. <b class="b2">str̥ṇóti</b> [[strew]] from <b class="b2">*str̥-n-éu̯-ti</b> (s. <b class="b3">στόρνυμι</b>) or Goth. <b class="b2">-walwjan</b> [[revolve]] beside Skt. <b class="b2">vr̥ṇóti</b> [[envelop]] and <b class="b3">εἰλύω</b> <b class="b2">id.</b> (<b class="b2">*u̯ol-u-éi̯ō</b> : <b class="b2">*u̯l-n-éu̯-ti</b>). In such an analysis <b class="b3">ποιέω</b> would appear like Goth. [[straujan]], [[walwjan]] as an iterative deverbative and one would be liberated from the not quite reliable noun <b class="b3">*ποιϜός</b> . Of course the syntheta in <b class="b3">-ποιός</b> can then be connected with a primares verb (<b class="b3">δρυ-τόμ-ος</b> : <b class="b3">δόρυ τάμνειν</b>). -- On the meaning of <b class="b3">ποιέω</b> and other verba faciendi cf.
