Etymology: As verbal noun to ἐπι-(Ϝ)άγνυμαι `break against sth.', so prop. `place, where wind and waves are broken'; compare κυματωγή \< *κυματο-Ϝαγή (Hdt.), and βορέω ὑπ' ἰωγῃ̃ (ξ 533) prop. "under the breaking of B.", i. e. `protected against B.'; the latter with reduplication *Ϝι-Ϝωγ-η , *u̯i-u̯oh₂g-; so ἐπιωγή prob. from *ἐπιϜιϜωγή. Bechtel Lex. s. v. prefers a unreduplicated *ἐπι-Ϝωγή beside Ϝαγή. On the formation Jacobsohn Gnomon 2, 384.
