|etymtx=Grammatical information: adj.<br />Meaning: ep. adjunct of <b class="b3">ἡνία</b>, <b class="b3">χιτών</b>, <b class="b3">εἵματα</b>, <b class="b3">θρόνος</b> a. o., approx. [[brilliant]], [[gleaming]] (Hom.), later of <b class="b3">ἀμύγδαλα</b>, <b class="b3">μνία</b> (Hermipp., Numen. ap. Ath.).<br />Derivatives: Besides <b class="b3">νεο-σίγαλος</b> [[with a new brilliance]] (<b class="b3">τρόπος</b>; Pi.), which may have been built to <b class="b3">σιγαλόεις</b> after the pattern of <b class="b3">παιπαλόεις</b> : <b class="b3">πολυ-παίπαλος</b> a. o. (Leumann Hom. Wörter 214 n. 8). Denom. verb <b class="b3">σιγαλόω</b> [[to smoothen]], [[to polish]] (Apollon. Lex. s. <b class="b3">σιγαλόεντα</b>, sch. Pi.); <b class="b3">σιγάλωμα</b> n. [[polishing tools of a cobbler]] (Apollon. ibd., H. s. <b class="b3">σιγαλόεν</b>), also [[border]], [[edging of a pelt]] (H.: <b class="b3">τὰ περιαπτόμενα ταῖς ᾤαις</b>); beside it with loss of the <b class="b3">γ</b> (Schwyzer 209) <b class="b3">σιάλωμα</b> [[iron mountings of a roman longshield]] (Plb. 6, 23, 4; H.). The ep. adj. resembles the also epic <b class="b3">αἰθαλόεις</b>, <b class="b3">ὀμφαλόεις</b> a. o. The technical expression <b class="b3">σιγάλωμα</b>, which belongs stilistically to a quite diff. category and as opposed to <b class="b3">νεο-σίγαλος</b> cannot be explained from <b class="b3">σιγαλόεις</b>, can be derived from <b class="b3">σιγαλόω</b> (if this is not a construction of grammarians) but also be an enlargement of a subst. <b class="b3">*σίγαλος</b> (cf. e.g. <b class="b3">ἀέτωμα</b> to <b class="b3">ἀετός</b>).<br />Origin: XX [etym. unknown]<br />Etymology: The ep. adj. resembles the also epic <b class="b3">αἰθαλόεις</b>, <b class="b3">ὀμφαλόεις</b> a. o. The technical expression <b class="b3">σιγάλωμα</b>, which belongs stilistically to a quite diff. category and as opposed to <b class="b3">νεο-σίγαλος</b> cannot be explained from <b class="b3">σιγαλόεις</b>, can be derived from <b class="b3">σιγαλόω</b> (if this is not a construction of grammarians) but also be an enlargement of a subst. <b class="b3">*σίγαλος</b> (cf. e.g. <b class="b3">ἀέτωμα</b> to <b class="b3">ἀετός</b>). -- Etymolog. unclear. After Brugmann IF 39, 143 f. to <b class="b3">γελεῖν λάμπειν</b> a. cogn. (s. <b class="b3">γαλήνη</b>) with enforcing <b class="b3">σι-</b> (s. <b class="b3">Σίσυφος</b>; <b class="b3">σι-</b> metr. lengthening); a diff. supposition on <b class="b3">σι-</b> in Hofmann Et. Wb. s. v. Diff. Bechtel Lex. s. v.; by Brugmann l. c. rightly rejected. Older attempts in Bq. See also Szemerényi, Studia Pagliaro 3, 243-5.
