- αἰώρα
- αἰώραGrammatical information: f.Meaning: `swing, hammock, noose, halter' (Pl.).Derivatives: αἰωρέω, -έομαι `swing, hang' (Pi.).Origin: XX [etym. unknown]Etymology: One reconstructs *Ϝαι-Ϝωρ-έω, an intensive (iterative) verb, Schwyzer 423, 647: a 1, 720 : 2. from which *ϜαιϜώρα \> αἰώρα was derived. Taillardat assumes *h₂uōr-eyō \> *αϜωρέω (as in πωλέω etc.); redupl. in Greek *αϜαϜωρ- which would have given *αϜαιωρ- \> αἰωρ- (like *αϜαιρω \> αἴρω). Not quite certain seems to me the redupl. αϜ-αϜ-, and the development to *αϜαy- and its continuation as (αϜ)-αι- (before vowel). Also, it is not evident that the word has the root of ἀείρω.Page in Frisk: 1,49
