οἴμη

οἴμη
οἴμη
Grammatical information: f.
Meaning: `song, chant, saga, tale' (Od., A. R., Call. a.o.); in similar use also οἶμος ἀοιδῆς (h. Merc. 451), ἐπέων οἶμον (Pi. O. 9, 47), λύρης οἴμους (Call. Iov. 97).
Derivatives: ἄοιμον ἄρρητον H., substant. hypostasis προοίμ-ιον (Pi., Att. prose), φροίμ-ιον (trag.) n., prop. "what stands πρὸ οἴμης or πρὸ οἴμου (οἵμου, s. οἶμος)", `start of the song, introductory chant, introduction, preamble', Lat. pro- oemium, cf. Koller Phil. 100, 187 ff. Unclear παροιμία, s. v.
Origin: XX [etym. unknown]
Etymology: Because of the occasional connection of masc. οἶμος with song and play, it is obvious to connect οἴμη with οἶμος `walk, way'. The word would have got a special meaning in the language of the Aoedes. Thus (after the old interpretation, s. Curtius 401) a.o. still Güntert Kalypso 201 ff., Becker Das Bild des Weges 36f., 68ff., Bieler RhM 85, 240ff., Diehl RhM 89, 88, Nilsson Die Antike 14, 27; also Pagliaro Ric. ling. 2, 25 ff. (to the group of ἱμάς, s. v.; similarly a. o. Čop Sprache 6, 5). -- After Osthoff BB 24, 158ff. however οἴμη and οἶμος `song' must be separated from οἶμος `walk, way' and connected with OWNo seiðr m. `kind of sorcery', Skt. sā́man n. `song', what supposes partly suffixchange (*soi-mā : *soi-to-s), partly an ablaut sē[i]-:soi- (which is improbable); cf. WP. 2, 509 f. Improbable Benveniste BSL 50, 39 f. (from *som-i̯o- to Hitt. išhamāi- `sing'); cf. Bader, BSL 85(1990)36.
