IVp), older <b class="b3">συγκτίστης</b> [[co-founder]] (Hdt. 5, 46) ; <b class="b3">κτιστός</b> [[laid out]], [[founded]] (h. Ap. 299, pap.; Zumbach Neuerungen 26); n. <b class="b3">κτιστόν</b> [[building]] (pap.). - Further several formations, with the intransitive meaning [[live]], [[abide]] and thus outside the system: <b class="b3">ἐυ κτίμενος</b> [[where you can live well]] (Hom.); <b class="b3">περι-κτί-ονες</b> pl. <b class="b2">those living around, neighbours</b> (Il.), <b class="b3">ἀμφι-κτί-ονες</b> <b class="b2">id.</b> (Pi.), also as PN (Att. inscr. Va), besides <b class="b3">-κτύονες</b> (Hdt., inscr. IVa) with unclear <b class="b3">υ</b> (cf. Hoffmann Dial. 3, 290); <b class="b3">περι-κτί-ται</b> pl. <b class="b2">id.</b> (λ 288), after it as simplex <b class="b3">κτί-ται</b> <b class="b2">id.</b> (E. Or. 1621), <b class="b3">κτίτης</b> = <b class="b3">κτίστης</b> (Delph.

Fraenkel 1,207; 2, 126).<br />Origin: IE [Indo-European] [626] <b class="b2">*tkei-</b> [[settle]], [[found]]<br />Etymology: With <b class="b3">περι-κτί-ται</b> agrees but for the lengthening <b class="b2">ā-</b>stem Skt. <b class="b2">pari-kṣí-t-</b>'living round about', with (<b class="b3">ἐΰ)-κτιτος</b> Av. (<b class="b2">ana)-šita-</b> [[uninhabited]]. Besides stands the athemat. root-present Skt. <b class="b2">kṣé-ti</b>, pl. <b class="b2">kṣi-y-ánti</b> (= Myc. <b class="b2">ki-ti-je-si</b> [trans.]) - Av. [[šaēiti]], [[šyeinti]] [[live]]. An agreeing athematic ptc. is <b class="b3">κτί-μενος</b>. The transitive-causative meaning <b class="b2">make as living, found</b>, which is a Greek innovation, started from the aorist <b class="b3">κτίσ(σ)αι</b>, which arose beside an intransitive root-aorist (still preserved in <b class="b3">κτί-μενος</b>), like <b class="b3">ἔ-στη-σα</b> to <b class="b3">ἔ-στη-ν</b> (s. <b class="b3">ἵστημι</b>). To <b class="b3">κτίσ(σ)αι</b> arose <b class="b3">κτίζω</b>, and to these the other forms (Schwyzer 674 a. 716, Wackernagel Unt. 77). <b class="b3">κτί-σις</b> too has an exact parallel in Skt. <b class="b2">kṣi-tí-</b>, Av. <b class="b2">ši-ti-</b> <b class="b2">living (place)</b>, but the deviant meaning makes it as innovation to <b class="b3">κτίζω</b> suspect (cf. Holt Les noms d'action en <b class="b3">-σις</b> 95 n. 5). With <b class="b3">κτοίνα</b> agrees, except for the <b class="b2">i-</b>stem, Arm. [[šēn]], gen. [[šini]] <b class="b2">inhabited (place)</b>. - Cf. Bq and Pok. 626. As with <b class="b3">κτείνω</b> we now assume <b class="b2">*tkei-</b>. Cf. <b class="b3">κτίλος</b>.
