|etymtx=Grammatical information: adv.<br />Meaning: [[right opposite]] (Il.).<br />Other forms: Att. [[ἄντικρυς]]; [[καταντικρύ]] (Il.) (stress after [[ἰθύ]]?)<br />Dialectal forms: Att. <b class="b3">ἀπ-</b>, <b class="b3">κατ-αντροκυ</b> perhaps from <b class="b3">*ἀντα-κρυ</b> (Beekes-Cuypers below)<br />Origin: PG [a word of Pre-Greek origin]X [probably]<br />Etymology: With <b class="b3">ἀντι-</b> ?, further unclear. Kretschmer Glotta 4, 356 connects [[ἀντικρούω]] [[come into collision]]. Improbable Chantraine Gramm. hom. 2, 148: to [[κάρη]]. Improb. also vW. (to Lat. [[crus]]). Beekes - Cuypers, Mnem. 56 (2003): <b class="b3">-υ</b> short, but metrically lengthened. The Attic form hardly substituted <b class="b3">ἀντα-</b> for <b class="b3">ἀντι-</b> (the anticipation of the [[ρ]] and the assimilation would then be strange); but this also suggests that [[ἀντα]]\/<b class="b3">ι-</b> is not the Greek word (assimilation [[ο]] > [[υ]] is also rare in Greek). If the word was Pre-Greek (<b class="b2">*ant(r)ak(r)u-</b>) identification with [[ἀντι]] would not surprise. Interchange [[ο]]\/[[ι]] is known from Pre-Greek words (Fur. 191 n. 37), so the word will be Pre-Greek. Then, it is also uncertain what the original position of the [[ρ]] was; if <b class="b3">*ἀντρα-κυ</b>, the last element might be compared with [[μεσσηγυ]], [[ἐγγύς]].
