- σταμῖνεςGrammatical information: m. pl.Meaning: `the standing up side-beams of a ship' (Poll. 1, 92, H., EM), acc. -ῖνας (Moschio ap. Ath.).Other forms: Dat. -ῐ́νεσσι (ε 252, Nonn. D. 40, 446).Origin: PG [a word of Pre-Greek origin]X [probably]Etymology: As "stander" to ἵσταμαι with formation like ἑρμῑν-, ῥηγμῑν-, ὑσμῑν- and like these an ῑν-derivation from an μ- or μ(ε)ν-stem, which is also seen in στάμνος (s. v.). The short ῐ in σταμῐ́νεσσι may be due to the metre; s. Debrunner REIE 1, 1ff. (diff. Pisani Ist. Lomb. 73 : 2, 40f.). Uncertain. If the root was σταμ-, the word may well be PG [Pre-Greek].Page in Frisk: 2,776
