ἐγχεσί-μωρος

ἐγχεσί-μωρος
ἐγχεσί-μωρος
Grammatical information: adj.
Meaning: usually understood as `famous for his spear' (Il.).
Derivatives: Cf. ἰό-μωρος, adj. of the Αργεῖοι (Δ 242, Ξ 479). Imitation in ὑλακό-μωρος, of κύνες (ξ 29, π 4; cf Porzig Satzinhalte 239); s. also σινάμωρος.
Origin: IE [Indo-European] [704] *meh₁-ro- `great'
Etymology: The 2. member is since Osthoff PBBeitr. 13, 431ff. combined with Celtic, Germanic and Slavic PN, e. g. Welsh Nerto-mārus, OHG Volk-mār, Slav. Vladi-měrъ, IE *-mōros, *-mēros. Further are compared a denominative Germ. verb `proclaim', Goth. merjan etc. with the adj. Goth. waila-mereis `εὔφημος', OHG māri `famous' etc., and a Celt. adjective `great', e. g. OIr. mār. The ō-vocalism in Greek and Celt. agrees with the type ἄ-φρων : φρήν (Schwyzer 355). The form of the 1 member may be metrically determined (cf. ἐγχέσπαλος). Ruijgh, Elément achéen 93, asks whether it could contain μωρός `foolish'. - Cf. Leumann Hom. Wörter 37 and 272 n. 18.
