ἀδαγμός: Difference between revisions

|etymtx=Grammatical information: m.<br />Meaning: [[κνησμός]] H.<br />Other forms: Also S. Tr. 770 acc. to Phot. (codd. [[ὀδαγμός]]).<br />Derivatives: Cf. <b class="b3">ἀδακτῶ κνήθομαι</b>, <b class="b3">ἀδαξῆσαι κνῆσαι</b>, <b class="b3">ἀδαχᾳ̃ κνᾳ̃</b>, <b class="b3">κνήθει κεφαλήν</b>. <b class="b3">ψηλαφᾳ̃</b> [[H]].<br />Origin: PG [a word of Pre-Greek origin] [287]<br />Etymology: The explanation through assimilation from <b class="b3">ὀδα-</b> is due to the desire to reduce everything to Indo-European or Greek. The [[ἀ-]] is too strong, while one would expect restoration or maintenance of <b class="b3">ὀ-</b> if it was original. Rather <b class="b3">ἀδαχ-</b> is original, and unexplained. There is no reason to connect [[scratch]] with [[tooth]]. See on [[ὀδάξ]].<br />See also: [[ὀδάξ]]
