- οὑδός
- οὑδόςGrammatical information: m.Meaning: `threshold' (Il.).Other forms: ὀδός (Att.), ὠδός (Cyrene, H.)Origin: PG [a word of Pre-Greek origin]X [probably]Etymology: Unexplained. A supposed basis *ὀδϜός (Schwyzer 301; cf. Schulze Q. 113 w. n. 9 a. Add., Chantraine Gramm. hom. 1, 162) makes connection with οὖδας possible, if one accepts this as a generalized Ion. form (Att. *ὄδας); J.Schmidt Pluralbild. 341; against this Schulze Q. 114 n. 1). If one furher wants to connect Arm. getin, Hitt. utne (s. οὖδας), one must, for οὖδας and οὑδός, start from ὀ-Ϝοδ- (with vowelprothesis), beside ὀδός from *Ϝοδ-ός (WP. 1, 254; Belardi Doxa 3, 217, where *ὀ-Ϝεδας is posited); not attractive. To be rejected (ὁδός, ἔδαφος) Brugmann IF 13, 85 a.o.; against it Solmsen KZ 32, 286. - The word could well be Pre-Greek.Page in Frisk: 2,442
