|etymtx=Grammatical information: m.<br />Meaning: [[dancer]] (θ 250, 383, Man.); "<b class="b3">ἀπὸ τοῦ ἡρμοσμένως βαίνειν</b>" H.<br />Derivatives: Secondary <b class="b3">βηταρμός</b> [[dance]] (A. R. 1, 1135).<br />Origin: GR [a formation built with Greek elements]X [probably]<br />Etymology: One connects [[ἁραρίσκω]] etc. though there is no other compound with <b class="b3">-αρμων</b>) which governs the preceding (as in <b class="b3">πολυ-κτήμων</b>; s. Sommer Nominalkomp. 12 m. n. 2, 117), which seems derived from <b class="b3">βῆ-ναι</b>, but there is no clear solution. Pisani Ist. Lomb. 73 : 2, 35 assumes haplology from <b class="b3">*βηματ-άρμων</b>, which seems possible; Brugmann Sächs. Ges. Ber. 51 (1899) 199 n. 1 starts from <b class="b3">*βητος</b>, <b class="b3">*βητη</b> or (with dissimilation) <b class="b3">*βῆτρον</b> = Skt. <b class="b2">gā́tram</b> [[limb]]. Belardi Doxa 3, 198 assumes <b class="b3">βη-τ-</b> (nom. <b class="b3">*βής</b>) like <b class="b3">δω-τ-</b> (nom. <b class="b3">δώς</b>). - Cf. also Bechtel Lex. 81f., Knecht <b class="b3">Τερψίμβροτος</b> 34 and Schwyzer 442 n. 6.
