|etymtx=Grammatical information: f.<br />Meaning: <b class="b2">loud (threatening, scolding) acclamation, command</b> (Hom., Hes. Sc.; also Emp. [<b class="b3">-έων</b>], Pi. [<b class="b3">-αῖς</b>], A. Fr. 57,5 = 71,5 ([[άν]])); [[attack]], [[onset]] (hell.; false duced from Π 147?).<br />Other forms: (<b class="b3">ὀ-</b>?, s.below).<br />Derivatives: Besides, prob. as denominative, the more usual <b class="b3">ὁμοκλ-άω</b>, <b class="b3">-έω</b> (<b class="b3">ὀ-</b>) in ipf. 3. sg. [[ὁμόκλα]] (Σ 156, Ω 248), 3 pl. <b class="b3">ὁμόκλ-εον</b>, 1 pl. <b class="b3">-έομεν</b> (Ο 658 a.o., ω 173), aor. [[ὁμοκλῆσαι]] (Hom., S. El. 712), iter. ipf. [[ὁμοκλήσασκε]] (Β 199) <b class="b2">to shout (threateningly), to call, to exhort, to warn</b>; from there <b class="b3">ὁμοκλη-τήρ</b>, <b class="b3">-ῆρος</b> m. [[shouter]], [[warner]] (Μ 273, Ψ 452), f. <b class="b3">-τειρα</b> (Lyc. 1337).<br />Origin: XX [etym. unknown]<br />Etymology: As the elided [[ὑπ]]' [[ὀμοκλῆς]] (e.g. Hes. Sc. 341), [[κέκλετ]]' [[ὀμοκλήσας]] ([[varia lectio|v.l.]] Υ 365) point to orig. lenis (Wackernagel Unt. 47 A. 1), one doubted clearly already in antiquity the hard to understand connection with [[ὁμός]] etc. In <b class="b3">ὀμο-</b> Jacobsohn Phil. 67, 509ff., KZ 42, 160 n. 1, [[Χάριτες]] F. Leo (1911) 443 f. wanted to find a counterpart of Skt. <b class="b2">áma-</b> m. [[violence]], [[pressure]], [[turbulence]], Av. [[ama-]] m. <b class="b2">power (to attack), strength</b>; so <b class="b3">ὀμο-κλή</b> prop. as determinative comp. "(attack)-, cry" (?). The 2. member, in any case to [[καλέω]], can be a root-noun (Brugmann Grundr.2 II: 1,140, Risch $ 72b); but it can also be explained as an [[ā-]]abstract <b class="b3">ὀμο-κλ-ά</b> (: <b class="b3">*ὀμο-κλ-ός</b> like <b class="b3">νεο-γν-ός</b>; cf. on [[μεσόδμη]]) (Fraenkel Nom. ag. 1, 8 n. 2 with Jacobsohn [[l.c.]]), in which case the laryngeal must have been lost. For the latter interpretation pleads [[ὁμοκλάν]] in A. (s. above), as Greek as monosyll. zero grade only knows <b class="b3">κλη-</b> (s. on [[καλέω]]); an artificial Dorism (Jacobsohn as alternative) is however not excluded. -- On the variation <b class="b3">-άω</b> : <b class="b3">-έω</b> in the verb, which can be phonetic, s.
