- νήχυτος
- νήχυτοςGrammatical information: adj.Meaning: `streaming richly, overflowing', ὕδωρ, ἅλμη, ἱδρώς a.o. (hell. poetry); on ἐπινήχυτος `id.' (δῶρα, Orph. A. 39, 312) s. below.Origin: GR [a formation built with Greek elements]Etymology: Can hardly be separated from the other frequent formations in -χυτος (: χέω) as ἀμφίχυ-τος, ἀ-διάχυ-τος, οἰνό-χυτος; than νη- (as opposed to νήριτος, νηλεής etc.) must be an artificial formation (Schwyzer 431 n. 7; not to νει-όθεν etc. with Prellwitz a. Bq). As however the comp. ἐπινήχυτος clearly belongs to ἐπινήχομαι, the question arises, whether νήχυτος was not in a parallel way connected with νήχομαι, which would fit the meaning better.Page in Frisk: 2,
