εἰρήν

εἰρήν
εἰρήν, -ένος
Grammatical information: m.
Meaning: name of the fullgrown youths in Sparta, `κόρος τέλειος' H. (IG 5 (1), 279, Plu. Lyc. 17 a. o.; on the meaning etc. Solmsen IF 7, 37ff.).
Other forms: (εἴρην, ἴρην, -ήν)
Compounds: As 2. member in μελλ-είρην `youth becoming εἰρήν' (Plu. Lyc. 17) with μελλειρενεια (Sparta), τριτιρενες pl. `in the third year of Eiren' (Messen.).
Origin: XX [etym. unknown]
Etymology: Uncertain. Acc. to Solmsen l. c. from *ἐρσήν and so differing only in accent from Ion. ἔρσην; the lengthening would be be due to the oxytonation (Wackernagel KZ 29, 127ff. = Kl. Schr. 1, 630ff.). Strict Laconian one would expect, as Bechtel Dial. 2, 370f. notes, *ἠρήν. - Not to ἦρι `early', nor to εἰρήνη (s. v.).
