|etymtx=-εκος<br />Grammatical information: f. (on the gender DELG).<br />Meaning: [[fox]] (Archil.).<br />Other forms: A shortened form is [[ἀλωπά]] (Alc.), [[ἀλωπός]] (Hdn.); on its origin Sommer Nominalkomp. 5 A. 5. Denom. <b class="b3">ἀλωπεύει ἀνιχνεύει</b> H., cf. NGr. (Crete) [[λαγονεύω]] [[trace]] from [[λαγώς]], Kukules [[Ἀρχ]]. [[Ἐφ]]. 27, 70f.<br />Derivatives: [[ἀλωπεκέη]], <b class="b3">-ῆ</b> [[fox-skin]] (Hdt.); [[ἀλωπεκία]] a disease of the skin (Arist.); [[ἀλωπεκίς]] f. = [[κυναλώπηξ]] (X.), also <b class="b2">head-gear from fox-skin</b> (X.) and [[kind of vine]] (Plin.), s. Strömberg Pflanzennamen 139<br />Origin: IE [Indo-European] [1179?] <b class="b2">*h₂lop-</b> [[fox]]<br />Etymology: [[ἀλώπηξ]] can agree with Arm. [[aɫuēs]], gen. <b class="b2">-esu</b> [[fox]]. Cf. further Lith. <b class="b2">lãpė</b> and Latv. [[lapsa]]. Schrijver, JIES 26, 1998, 421-434 connects the Celtic words W. [[llywarn]] etc., which he derives from <b class="b2">*lop-erno-</b>, and reconstructs <b class="b2">*h₂lop-</b>. The Greek long [[ō]] is explained from an old nom. <b class="b2">*h₂lōp-s</b>. (Skt. <b class="b2">lopāśá-</b> [[jackal]] and MP [[rōpās]] [[fox]] have an orig. diphthong in the root and cannot be connected. Lat. [[volpes]] [[fox]], Lith. <b class="b2">vilpišỹs</b> [[wild cat]] should also be kept apart; Schrijver starts from a root <b class="b2">*ulp-</b>). - The inflection [[ἀλώπηξ]], <b class="b3">-εκος</b> is unique in Greek. There is no support for Rix's <b class="b2">-ōk-s</b>, <b class="b2">-ek-os</b> (1976,, 143). In the Armenian form, the [[ē]] presents difficulties and is prob. secondary, the word rather showing old short [[e]]; Clackson 1994, 95. De Vaan, IIJ 43, 2000, 279-293, disconnects the suffix from the Indo-Ir. one (as above the words were disconnected) and doubts that Skt. <b class="b2">-āśa-</b> etc. is of IE origin. He follows Chantr. Form. 376, in assuming that the Greek (and Armenian) suffix <b class="b2">-ek-</b> was taken from a non-IE language; Greek would have lengthened the vowel in the nominative. But this does not explain the Greek ablaut: one would expect that the long vowel was introduced everywhere. Rather the suffixes are IE, and the long vowel of Saskrit and the short of Armenian confirm the Greek ablaut as archaic. - See also Blažek, Linguistica Baltica 7, 1998, 25-31. Cf.

|ftr='''ἀλώπηξ''': -εκος<br />{alṓpēks}<br />'''Grammar''': f.<br />'''Meaning''': [[Fuchs]] (ion. att.).<br />'''Derivative''': Mehrere Ableitungen, alle ziemlich spärlich belegt: Demin. [[ἀλωπέκιον]] (Ar.); [[ἀλωπεκέη]], -ῆ [[Fuchsbalg]] (Hdt. u. a.); [[ἀλωπεκία]] Name einer Haarkrankheit (Arist.), in dieser Bedeutung auch [[ἀλωπεκίασις]] (Gal.), vgl. Holt Les noms d’action en -σις 137 A. 3; [[ἀλωπεκίας]] m. [[mit dem Zeichen des Fuchses gebrandmarkt]] (Luk.); [[ἀλωπεκίς]] f. = [[κυναλώπηξ]] (X.), auch [[Kopfbedeckung aus Fuchsfell]] (X.) und [[Art Weinrebe]] (Plin.); in der letztgenannten Bedeutung auch ἀλωπέκεως (H.), wohl mit Anspielung auf die Fabel des Aisopos (Strömberg Pflanzennamen 139); [[ἀλωπεκιδεύς]] m. [[junger Fuchs]] (Ar.), vgl. Chantraine Formation 364; außerdem die Adjektiva [[ἀλωπέκειος]] (Gal. u. a.), [[ἀλωπεκώδης]] (H., ''EM''). — Ferner das Denominativum [[ἀλωπεκίζω]] [[sich als Fuchs benehmen]], d. h. [[hinterlistig sein]].<br />'''Etymology''' : [[ἀλώπηξ]], -εκος entspricht bis auf den Stammauslaut arm. ''aɫuēs'' (''ē'' sekundäre Dehnung), Gen. -''esu'' [[Fuchs]]. In Betracht kommen auch andere Wörter für [[Fuchs]] oder ähnliche Tiere, zunächst lit. ''lãpė'' und lett. ''lapsa'' (mit ''s'' aus idg. ''ḱ'' = gr. κ?). Aind. ''lopāśá''- [[Schakal]] und mp. ''rōpās'' [[Fuchs]] weichen im Vokal ab (urspr. Diphthong). Noch entlegener sind lat. ''volpes'' [[Fuchs]], lit. ''vilpišỹs'' [[wilde Katze]]. Es ist unmöglich, diese Wörter auf einen Nenner zu bringen. Falls alle überhaupt miteinander verwandt sind, muß es sich z. T. um Entlehnungen, vielleicht auch um absichtliche Verdrehungen in euphemistischer Absicht handeln.
