Origin: IE [Indo-European]X [probably] [to be added] (ois-āk-, h₃eis- `bar?'
Etymology: Instrument-name formed like πόρπᾶξ, τρόπηξ, resp. λαισήϊον, ἐργαλήϊον a.o. (Chantraine 381 a. 60 f.). The basis of the Greek words was an old noun with unknown stem; an ā-stem *oisā- is possible, nut not necessary. The noun seems preserved as Balt. LW [loanword] in Finnougr., e.g. Finn. aisa `bar of the forked pole (thill)' from Balt. *aisō or *aisa- (IE *oisā-, *oiso-). The Balt. word is again based on a Slav. s-stem, e.g. Sloven. ojê, ojês-a `(carriage) pole' (further Slav. forms in Vasmer s.vojé), IE. *oio \/ es- n. Besides with zero grade, also lengthened, Skt. īṣ-ā́ f. `pole', from which as LW [loanword] Hitt. hišša-'pole' (s. Kronasser Etymologie 144 against Kammenhuber; borrowing is also denied by Benveniste Hitt. et i.-eur. 13f.). Further combinations, for Greek unimportant, in WP. 1, 167 and Pok. 298 (after Lidén Stud. 60ff., Specht Ursprung 101). -- To be rejected Dumézil BSL 39, 192f. On the meaning of οἴαξ Meringer WuS 5, 89 ff, Hermann Gött. Nachr. 1943, 7 f.; the connection with a ship is a Greek innovation, cf. on ἱστός. -- Ngr. δοιάκι (Schwyzer KZ 63, 62). - The suffix -ᾱκ- rather suggests a Pre-Greek word (which the language may have adapted to nautical use).
