- δίκρους
- δίκροος, δίκρουςGrammatical information: adj.Meaning: `forked, cloven' (Ion.-Att.; cf. Ilberg Arch. f. Pap. 4, 281f.).Other forms: (δικρόος, δικροῦς, with hyphaeresis δίκρος)Derivatives: None.Origin: IE [Indo-European] [574] *(du̯i)-k̀r-ou-o- `two-horned'.Etymology: One reconstructs *δί-κροϜ-ος, as `two-horned', from δι- (s. δίς) and a word for `horn'; but κερα[F]-ός `horned' (Lat. cerv-us `deer', Av. srū- `horn') requires *ḱerh₂-uo-, which requires *ḱerh₂-. Nussbaum, Head and Horn, 2-18, argues that there were laryngeal-less forms (Skt. śr̥ṅga-, κάρνος H.), and assumes *du̯i-ḱr-ou̯-o- (but forms like κόρυς, κόρυμβα are Pre-Greek).Page in Frisk: 1,394
