- ἄητος
- ἄητοςGrammatical information: adj.Meaning: uncertain; θάρσος ἄητον Φ 395 (θ. ἄᾱτον Q. S. 1, 217).Origin: PG [a word of Pre-Greek origin]X [probably]Etymology: Cf. H. ἄητοι ἀκόρεστοι, ἄπληστοι; ἀήτους μεγάλας. Αἰσχύλος ᾽Αθάμαντι. Hdn. Gr. 1,220 ἄητος ὁ ἀκατάπαυστος. The first explanation connects the word with ἄμεναι, ἆσαι; it would then differ from ἄατος, ἆτος through the long vowel (which is not probable). Perhaps the same word as αἴητος (πέλωρ αἴητον Σ 410 said of Hephaistos). If so, the variation α\/αι might point to a substr. word (metrical lengthening is improbable, α \< αι impossible); FUR 253 (but his connection with ἀήσυλος is quite uncertain). Palmer, Interpretation 339 connects the word said of Hephaistos with Myc. ajameno as `artist'; improbable. Not to ἄημι, LfgrE. S. Sabbadini Riv. studi class. 15 (1967) 78-84.See also: ἆσαι `satiate'Page in Frisk: 1,27
