- ἠέριοςGrammatical information: adj.Meaning: 1. `early, of the morning', connected with ἦρι `early, in the morning' (e.g. A.

R., Arat., Opp.).Origin: IE [Indo-European] [12] [85] *h₂euser- `morning' ; less prob.*h₂eier- `morning'Etymology: The places in Homer (always verse begin) are not all clear; to ἀήρ, ἠέρος probably Γ 7 (γέρανοι), as against ι 52 (of the attacking Kikones) rather to ἦρι (cf. vv. 56-58 and Harrison ClRev. 51, 215); uncertain Α 497, 557 (of Thetis rising from the sea to the Olympos). Cf. Buttmann uad Bechtel Lex. s. v., Risch 105, Kretschmer Glotta 10, 53 n. 1. - In the meaning `early' we must start from an adv. *ἤερι (cf. Ήερί-βοια Ε 389), if not formed archaising after 2. from *ἤρι-ος (cf. ἠέλιος : ἥλιος). S. ἦρι.Page in Frisk: 1,624
