ἄμοιος

ἄμοιος

Grammatical information: adj.

Meaning: κακός. Σικελοί H.

Other forms: μοῖος σκυθρωπός H.; σμοῖος (s.s.v.) = σκυθρωπός (Theognost.), σμοιός (Hdn. Gr. 1, 109), σμυός H.

Origin: PG [a word of Pre-Greek origin]

Etymology: v. Blumenthal Hesychst. 15f. thinks the word is Illyrian, comparing μοῖτος = χάρις (Soph. 168); Bechtel Dial. 2, 285 compares Lat. mūto. However, the variation shows that it is a substr. word, if we accept the connection with (σ)μοῖος (s.v.), which seems probable Fur. 368.
