- κυρίττω
- κυρίττωGrammatical information: v.Meaning: `butt with the horns' (A., Pl., Arist.)Other forms: fut. κυρίξω.Compounds: With prefix: ἀγκυρίττει μεταμέλεται. Κρῆτες H.; cf. Bechtel Dial. 2, 777.Derivatives: κύριξις (Ael.), κυρίττιλος κορύπτης, πλήκτης H. Also κυρίζω (EM); cf. κυρίζεσθε τρίβεσθε H.Origin: PG [a word of Pre-Greek origin]X [probably]Etymology: The connection with κορύπτω, κέρας (e.g. Bq, WP. 1, 406) does no explain the formation. Rather (despite Bq s. κύρω) with Curtius 158 and Prellwitz to κύρω, -έω `hit, meet with, obtain'. - An unclear byform is κυρηβάζω, -ομαι, -άσασθαι (Ar., Cratin.) with κυρήβασις, -σία (sch.); also metaph. = λοιδορεῖσθαι; κυρηβάτης καὶ κύρηβος ὁ ἀσελγης ἐν τῳ̃ λοιδορεῖν H. To κυρήβια (s. v.) there seems not to be a road (despite Fr. cosser : cosse). Cf. Fur. 363, who gives no solution; the suffix -ηβ- is hardly IE Greek.Page in Frisk: 2,54
