δέφω

δέφω
δέφω, -ομαι
Grammatical information: v.
Meaning: `soften (with the hand), masturbari' (Ar., Eub.),
Other forms: Aor. ἐδέψατο in Hippon.?, s. Scheller Münch. Stud. z. Sprachwiss. 6, 88ff. - Pres. 3. sg. δέψει (-εῖ?) Hdt. 4, 64; aor. ptc. δεψήσας μ 48.
Derivatives: δεφιδασταί m. pl. members of a guild of fullers (Argos), in -αστής, -ιστής (Chantr. Form. 317ff.), further unclear; on *δεφίς, *-ιδος? - δέψα `tanned skin' (Suid.); ἀδέψητος (υ 2; 142 u. a.).
Origin: PG [a word of Pre-Greek origin]
Etymology: The present δέψω (cf. ἕψω) beside δέφω has an s-enlargement; the cases in Schwyzer 706 are not completely comparable H. Petersson KZ 47, 285 compares Arm. top`em `beat' (denomin.) and SCr. dépati `butt, slay', Pol. deptać `tread'. (Lat. depsō, -ĕre is a Greek LW [loanword].) One compares also διφθέρα{{}}(s.v.), which would certainly point to a Pre-Greek word. The variation -φ-\/-ψ- also points to such an origin (cf. esp. δέψα; Fur. 263 etc.). The form in Armenian is unproblematic; the European forms would be more difficult.
