[[πέπλωκα]] (Hdt., Lyc.; also E. Hel. 532 and Ar. Th. 878 [parody]),<br />Compounds: Also w. prefix, e.g. <b class="b3">ἐπι-</b>, <b class="b3">ἐκ-</b>, <b class="b3">κατα-</b>, <b class="b3">παρα-</b>.<br />Derivatives: Prob. all derivv. are from Ion. (Fraenkel Nom. ag. 2, 3 f.). Adj. 1. <b class="b3">πλω-τός</b> (<b class="b3">πρόσ-</b>, <b class="b3">ἔκ-</b>πλώω) [[swimming]], [[navigable]] (κ 3 [on the explanation Giusti Il. mondo class. 7, 63ff.], Hp., Hdt., Arist.) with <b class="b3">-τίς</b> f. approx. [[raft]] (Demetr. Astrol.), <b class="b3">-τεύομαι</b> to [[be navigated]], [[cruised]] (Plb.); 2. <b class="b3">πλω-τικός</b> [[seafaring]] (hell.); 3. <b class="b3">-σιμος</b> [[navigable]], [[seaworthy]] (S., Diogenian.), rather from [[πλῶσαι]] than from <b class="b3">*πλῶσις</b>; thus <b class="b3">πλώ-ϊμος</b> beside and for [[πλόϊμος]] (s. on [[πλέω]] w. lit.). Subst. 4. <b class="b3">κατάπλω-σις</b> f. [[home-coming by sea]] (Herod.); 5. [[πλωτήρ]] m. [[sailor]] (rare in E., Ar., Pl., often in Arist. etc.), [[swimmer]] (Opp., Nonn.); 6. <b class="b3">πλω-άδες</b>, <b class="b3">-ϊάδες</b> (Thphr.), <b class="b3">-ίδες</b> (A. R.) f. pl. [[swimming]], [[flowing]]; also 7. [[πλώς]], pl. [[πλῶτες]] name of a fish, = [[κεστρεύς]], if prop. "swimmer" (cf. Thompson Fishes s. [[πλῶτα]]); but [[δακρυπλώειν]] (τ 122) not denomin. from <b class="b3">*δακρυ-πλώς</b>, but after <b class="b3">δάκρυ χέων</b>, [[χέουσα]] built as univerbation; cf. Leumann Hom. Wörter 36 w. n. 1 a. lit. 8. Verb: <b class="b3">πλω-ΐζω</b> (<b class="b3">-ῴζω</b>) [[to go by sea]] (Hes., Th.) with <b class="b3">-ϊσις</b> f. [[seafaring]] (Just.).<br />Origin: IE [Indo-European] [835] <b class="b2">*pleu-</b> or a root <b class="b2">*pleh₃-</b><br />Etymology: The above forms are not unambiguous. The aorist [[ἔπλων]] (<b class="b3">ἐπ-έπλων</b>, <b class="b3">ἀπ-έπλω</b> a. o.) agrees with [[ἔγνων]] and so looks most like an athem. root-aorist (ptc. [[ἐπιπλώς]] Z 291 false for <b class="b3">-πλούς</b>?); to this as innovations <b class="b3">ἔπλωσα-(ἔγνων</b>: Skt. <b class="b2">ájñāsam</b>) and [[πλώω]] (cf. Chantraine Gramm. hom. 1, 365)? Or the other way round (with Schwyzer 743 n.5 [asking]): [[ἔπλων]] secondary to older [[ἔπλωσα]] and this orig. to [[πλώω]]? In the first alternative we have no reason to keep [[ἔπλων]] etc. together with [[πλέω]]; in the second [[πλώω]] from <b class="b3">*πλώϜ-ω</b> is taken as lengthened deverbative (e.g. Schwyzer 722 and 349); to this analog. the other forms (cf. Schwyzer 346). The same lengthened grade is found in the Slav. iterative, e.g. OCS [[plavati]], Russ. <b class="b2">plávatь</b> <b class="b2">swim (to and fro)</b>. A correspondent of <b class="b3">πλω-</b> however gives Germ. in OWNo. [[flōa]], OE [[flōwan]] ([[w]] secondary) with Goth. [[flodus]] m. [[ποταμός]] (would be Gr. <b class="b3">*πλω-τύς</b>) a. o.; this too can go back on a reduplicated (?) IE <b class="b2">*plō</b>[<b class="b2">u̯</b>]-. If one decides for original <b class="b3">πλω-</b> from IE <b class="b2">*plō-</b> (<b class="b2">*pleh₃-</b>), this could be in ablaut with <b class="b3">πλη-</b> in <b class="b3">πίμ-πλη-μι</b> (Brugmann-Thumb 325 a. 327) [I see no reaon for this argumentation; I see no basis for a form <b class="b2">*ploh₁-</b>] which fits semantically worse than [[πλέω]] with [[πλώω]]. Frisk prefers explanation from <b class="b3">*πλώϜ-ω</b>. So either from a root <b class="b2">*pleh₃-</b>, or from a langthened grade deverbative <b class="b2">*plou̯-</b>. -- Cf. [[πλέω]], also [[πλύνω]].
