Subst. <b class="b3">ὀρφαν-ία</b> f. [[orphanhood]], [[bereavement]] (Pi., ætt.), <b class="b3">-ότης</b> f. <b class="b2">id.</b> (Cappadocia). 3. Verbs. a) <b class="b3">ὀρφαν-ίζω</b> (<b class="b3">ἀπ-</b> ὀρφανός) <b class="b2">to make an orphan, to bereave</b> (Pi.); from it formally <b class="b3">-ιστής</b> m., but as [[guardian]] (S. [[Aj]]. 512), name of an official (Selymbria); b) <b class="b3">-εύω</b> [[to bring up orphans]], midd. <b class="b2">to be orphaned</b> (E.) with <b class="b3">-ευμα</b> n.

With <b class="b3">*ὀρφος</b> agree exactly Arm. [[orb]], <b class="b2">-oy</b> [[orphan]] and Lat. [[orbus]] [[orphaned]], [[bereft]], IE <b class="b2">*orbho-s</b>. A <b class="b2">i̯o-</b>deriv. is supposed in Celt. and (a loan from there?) the Germ. word for [[heritage]] (so prop. *"orphans possessions" ?; diff., not convincing, Porzig Gliederung 121f.), e.g. OIr. <b class="b2">orb(b)e</b>, [[orpe]] n., Goth. [[arbi]], OHG [[arbi]], [[erbi]] n.; from there [[der Erbe]], e.g. OIr. <b class="b2">orb(b)e</b> m., Goth. [[arbja]], OHG [[arpeo]], [[erbo]] m. Further, quite hypothetical connections in WP. 1, 183 f., Pok. 781 f., W.-Hofmann s. [[orbus]] (w. rich lit.); further Benveniste Hitt. et indoeur. 11 f., who finds in Hitt. <b class="b2">ḫarp-zi</b> <b class="b2">separate, keep s.</b> the relevant primary verb and at the same time reminds (after Collinder) of comparable Fi.-Ugr. words, e.g. Fi. [[orbo]], [[orvo]] [[orphan]].
