[[ἐλεφηράμενος]]<br />Dialectal forms: Myc. [[erepairo]]? \/[[Elephairon]]?\/<br />Origin: XX [etym. unknown]<br />Etymology: In H. also active forms ([[ἐλεφαίρειν]], [[ἐλεφῆραι]]), explained with (<b class="b3">ἐξ)απατᾶν</b>, [[βλάπτειν]], [[ἀδικεῖν]]. Old, rarely occurring epic expression with unstable meaning, of unclear formation und uncertain etymology. The ending <b class="b3">-αίρω</b> seems to point to an <b class="b2">r-</b>stem (<b class="b3">*ἔλεφαρ</b>?), but could also be suffixal. The stem recurs in PN <b class="b3">Ἐλεφ-ήνωρ</b>, but could stand for <b class="b3">*Ελεφηρ-ήνωρ</b> with dissimilatory shortening (Sommer Nominalkomp. 170 n.2). From Greek one compares [[ὀλοφώϊος]] [[deceiving]], [[noxious]], which is itself unclear. An acceptable connection would be Lith. <b class="b2">vìlbinti</b> [[allure]], [[befool]]. Cf. Bechtel Lex. s. v., and Schwyzer 724 w. n. 11. Goto, Kuryɫowicz Memorial Volume 1, 1995, 365-370 suggests to connect Skt. <b class="b2">upa-valha-te</b> <b class="b2">to puzzle, confuse by means of riddle</b> (the Skt. -h- does not agree). | ||
