|etymtx=θράττω</b> rommelig<br />Grammatical information: v.<br />Meaning: [[trouble]], [[disquiet]] (Pi., Hp., Att.);<br />Other forms: Aor. <b class="b3">θρᾶξαι</b> (A., E.), pass. <b class="b3">ἐθράχθη</b> (S. Fr. 1055); perf. <b class="b3">τέτρηχα</b> intr. [[be troubled]], [[unquiet]] (Il.).<br />Compounds: incid. with prefix, <b class="b3">ἐν-</b>, <b class="b3">ὑπο-</b>, <b class="b3">ἐπι-</b>,<br />Origin: IE [Indo-European]X [probably] [251] [very uncertain] <b class="b2">*dʰreh₂gʰ-</b> <b class="b2">??</b><br />Etymology: Primary yot-present from <b class="b3">*θραχ-ι̯ω</b>, beside which the old perfect <b class="b3">*τέ-θραχ-α</b> (Schwyzer 702); the rarely occurring aorist forms <b class="b3">θρᾶξαι</b>, <b class="b3">ἐθράχθη</b> are innovations after the type <b class="b3">πράσσω</b> : <b class="b3">πρᾶξαι</b> a. o. for older <b class="b3">ταράξαι</b> (like <b class="b3">δαμάσαι</b>), to which the present <b class="b3">ταράσσω</b> (s. v.), with the same disyll. stem form as <b class="b3">ταραχή</b>; to <b class="b3">τέ-τρηχ-α</b> : <b class="b3">ταραχ-ή</b> cf. e. g. <b class="b3">τέ-θνη-κα</b> : <b class="b3">θάνα-τος</b>. A primary nominal formation with long stem as <b class="b3">θράσσω</b>, <b class="b3">τέτρηχα</b> is <b class="b3">τραχύς</b> [[raw]], [[hard]]; s. v. There are no exact correcpondences ouside Greek. Bezzenberger BB 4, 320 adduced a widespread word for [[dregs]], [[sediment]], which occurs in varying form: Germ., e. g. ONord. [[dregg]] f., pl. [[dreggiar]], Balt.-Slav., e. g. OLith. <b class="b2">drãges</b> pl., Alb. [[drā]], prob. also Lat. [[fracēs]], <b class="b2">-um</b>. Further one compares a large group in Baltic, which through its acute would agree with the Greek words, e. g. Lith. <b class="b2">dérgiu</b>, <b class="b2">dérgti</b> <b class="b2">schlackerig sein (of the weather), get squalid etc.</b> [but the acute is caused by the Lith. [[g]] < <b class="b2">*g</b> acc. to Winter-Kortlandt's law, and so does [[not]] agree with Greek]. (Here acc. to Specht KZ 59, 102 and 117 w. n. 3 also <b class="b2">dìrgstu</b>, <b class="b2">dìrgti</b> <b class="b2">relax, get weak etc.</b> (with <b class="b2">dìrginu</b>, <b class="b2">dìrginti</b> [[relax]]); but see the critical remarks in Fraenkel Lit. et. Wb. s. <b class="b2">dìrginti</b> and <b class="b2">drėgti</b> !. - More forms W.-Hofmann s. [[fracēs]]; and Fraenkel s. <b class="b2">drãges</b>; and Pok. 251; these forms are not clear. Cf. Bechtel Lex. s. <b class="b3">ταράσσω</b>.
