- γαμβρός
- γαμβρόςGrammatical information: m.Meaning: `son-in-law, bother-in-law (sister's husband)' (Il.).Derivatives: Rare and late: γαμβροτιδεύς `son of a γαμβρός' (Iamb., after λεοντιδεύς etc.), γαμβρεύω `form connexions by marriage' (LXX).Origin: IE [Indo-European] [369] *ǵ(e)mH- `marry'Etymology: The other languages have: Skt. jā́mātar- = Av. zāmātar- (with sec. -tar-, cf. Av. zāmaoya- (\< *-mavya-) `brother of the son-in-law' and Skt. jāmí- `related', f. also `daughter-in-law, Lat. gener, Alb. dhëndër, dhândër. Isolated are the Balto-Slavic terms: Lith. žéntas, OCS zętъ, Latv. znuôts (*ǵnōtos). Further one compares Skt. jārá- `suitor', with -ā- from -m̥H-? The Balto-Slavic and Albanian words will belong to *ǵenh₁- (γίγνομαι; Lith. žéntas). Unclear is Lat. gener . - The Greek and Indo-Iranian forms with -m- must belong together, but a reconstruction is no longer possible. Greek requires *gm̥-, but this form may have lost a laryngeal (as in ἀρήν, q.v.) and be cognate with γαμέω (*gmh₁-); but the resemblance with γαμέω could be due to secondary influence. Cf. Viredaz IF 107 (2002) 152-180. Vgl. γαμέω.Page in Frisk: 1,287
