- ἀλινδέω
- ἀλινδέω, ἀλίνδωGrammatical information: v.Meaning: `make to roll'; med. `roll (in the dust); roam' (Ar.).Other forms: aor. ἤλῑσαDerivatives: ἄλινδον δρόμον ἁρμάτων EM, H. - ἀλίνδησις `rolling' (in the dust, of athletes; Hp.).Origin: PG [a word of Pre-Greek origin]X [probably]Etymology: Formation like κυλινδέω, κυλίνδω, which are also close in meaning, but their relation is unknown. One connects the word with εἰλέω, ἴλλω etc., comparing Ϝάλη (cod. ὑάλη) σκώληξ H. DELG assumes the root *uel- (Pok. 1140) which, lengthened with -d-, is seen in OS wealtan, OHG walzan. Taillardat, REA 58, 1956, 191 n. 3, reconstructs *uol-n-ed-mi, with anaptyictic -i-. The i-epenthesis is without parallel, and an old nasal-present is improbable. Rather the suffix -ind- is non-IE. In that case the root could still be IE. But Fur. 130 n. 59 compares καλινδέομαι `id.' as a variant with k-; there are several variants with k\/zero among substr. words (the change κ\/zero cannot be explained from an IE laryngeal).Page in Frisk: 1,73
