ὀρεχθέω

ὀρεχθέω
ὀρεχθέω
Grammatical information: v.
Meaning: expressive ep. poet. verb of unclear meaning, in Hom. of βόες σφαζόμενοι (Ψ 30), of old usu. explained as `to rattle', in Theoc. of the sea (θάλασσαν ... ὀρεχθεῖν 11, 43) `to roar, to surge', but in Ar. (Nu. 1368), A R. (1, 275), Opp. (H. 2, 583) of the heart (καρδία, κέαρ), also of θυμός (A. R. 2, 49); after this in Nic. (Al. 340) of the κύστις and, quite obscure, in the tragedian Aristias (6; Va) of πέδον.
Origin: XX [etym. unknown]
Etymology: The acoustic notion, in Theoc. undeniable, in Hom. very obvious, is at the other positions (Aristias can better be forgotten) impossible. The here except for Nic. required rendering through `be in convulsions, rattle, tremble' fits indeed as well as `ruckle' for Ψ 30. A uniform meaning could be reconstructed, if one may take Theoc. 11, 43 as an instance of the traditional but false interpretation of Ψ 30. -- Also etymologically unclear. The very old connection with ῥοχθέω `rauschen, brausen' is formally difficult, and does not explain all places, the also old connection with ὀρέγω (with θ-enlargement [Schwyzer 703], evtl. through a θ-perf. *ὤρεχ-θα [Risch $ 111 a]) is semantically rather meaningless.
