|etymtx=Grammatical information: adj.<br />Meaning: usually understood as [[famous for his spear]] (Il.).<br />Derivatives: Cf. <b class="b3">ἰό-μωρος</b>, adj. of the <b class="b3">Αργεῖοι</b> (Δ 242, Ξ 479). Imitation in <b class="b3">ὑλακό-μωρος</b>, of <b class="b3">κύνες</b> (ξ 29, π 4; cf Porzig Satzinhalte 239); s. also <b class="b3">σινάμωρος</b>.<br />Origin: IE [Indo-European] [704] <b class="b2">*meh₁-ro-</b> [[great]]<br />Etymology: The 2. member is since Osthoff PBBeitr. 13, 431ff. combined with Celtic, Germanic and Slavic PN, e. g. Welsh <b class="b2">Nerto-mārus</b>, OHG <b class="b2">Volk-mār</b>, Slav. <b class="b2">Vladi-měrъ</b>, IE <b class="b2">*-mōros</b>, <b class="b2">*-mēros</b>. Further are compared a denominative Germ. verb [[proclaim]], Goth. [[merjan]] etc. with the adj. Goth. <b class="b2">waila-mereis</b> [[εὔφημος]], OHG [[māri]] [[famous]] etc., and a Celt. adjective [[great]], e. g. OIr. [[mār]]. The <b class="b2">ō-</b>vocalism in Greek and Celt. agrees with the type <b class="b3">ἄ-φρων</b> : <b class="b3">φρήν</b> (Schwyzer 355). The form of the 1 member may be metrically determined (cf. <b class="b3">ἐγχέσπαλος</b>). Ruijgh, Elément achéen 93, asks whether it could contain <b class="b3">μωρός</b> [[foolish]]. - Cf.
