|etymtx=Grammatical information: adj.<br />Meaning: usually understood as [[famous for his spear]] (Il.).<br />Derivatives: Cf. <b class="b3">ἰό-μωρος</b>, adj. of the [[Αργεῖοι]] (Δ 242, Ξ 479). Imitation in <b class="b3">ὑλακό-μωρος</b>, of [[κύνες]] (ξ 29, π 4; cf Porzig Satzinhalte 239); s. also [[σινάμωρος]].<br />Origin: IE [Indo-European] [704] <b class="b2">*meh₁-ro-</b> [[great]]<br />Etymology: The 2. member is since Osthoff PBBeitr. 13, 431ff. combined with Celtic, Germanic and Slavic PN, e. g. Welsh [[Nerto-mārus]], OHG [[Volk-mār]], Slav. <b class="b2">Vladi-měrъ</b>, IE <b class="b2">*-mōros</b>, <b class="b2">*-mēros</b>. Further are compared a denominative Germ. verb [[proclaim]], Goth. [[merjan]] etc. with the adj. Goth. [[waila-mereis]] [[εὔφημος]], OHG [[māri]] [[famous]] etc., and a Celt. adjective [[great]], e. g. OIr. [[mār]]. The <b class="b2">ō-</b>vocalism in Greek and Celt. agrees with the type <b class="b3">ἄ-φρων</b>: [[φρήν]] (Schwyzer 355). The form of the 1 member may be metrically determined (cf. [[ἐγχέσπαλος]]). Ruijgh, Elément achéen 93, asks whether it could contain [[μωρός]] [[foolish]]. - Cf. Leumann Hom. Wörter 37 and 272 n. 18.
