- δοθιήν
- δοθιήν, -ῆνοςGrammatical information: m.Meaning: `small abscess' (Hp.),Other forms: also δοθιών, -όνος (medic., Hdn. Gr.).Derivatives: δοθιηνικόν `medicine against δ.' (Paul. Aeg.).Origin: PG [a word of Pre-Greek origin]Etymology: Cf. λειχήν, ἀδήν, πυρήν etc. (Chantr. Form. 166f., Schwyzer 487) and βουβών, μυών (Chantraine 162, Schwyzer 488); further unclear. See Solmsen Wortf. 137f. The retaining of θι (cf. μέσ(σ)ος \< *μέθι̯ος) suggests a loan. Fur. 172 n. 118 points to Pre-Greek words in -ην, and on p. 355 he compares δολεών ὁ δοθιήν, which is quite possible (as a variant, \< *δοδ-).Page in Frisk: 1,404
