Boßhardt Die Nom. auf -ευς 98)?Origin: IE [Indo-European]X [probably] [??] *h₁eni-h₂kʷ- `reproach'Etymology: As verbal noun to ἐνίσσω ἐνῑπ-ή must have had a labio-velar kʷ̯(on the phonetics Risch 245, Schwyzer 704 w. n. 11). Brugmann further connected ὀπῑπεύω (s. v.), Skt. ī́kṣate `see' etc., what he supported (IF 12, 31) by referring to ὄπις `reverent seeing', also `retribution, punishment'); but see below. Thus Porzig Satzinhalte 228: ἐνίσσω orig. `look damaging at ', ἐνιπή `malign look'. Less certain is Brugmanns further combination with (rather unclear) ἴψαο, ἴψεται (s. ἴπτομαι), about `oppress, damage'. This is connected with ἰάπτω \< *h₂i-h₂ekʷ-i̯-; so ἴπτομαι from *h₂i-h₂kʷ- (Kuiper, Glotta 21. 282ff, MKNAW 14: 5, 25 n. 1. ἐνῑ-πή then \< *h₁eni-h₂kʷ̇-.Page in Frisk: 1,519
