ὄργυια

ὄργυια
ὄργυια
Grammatical information: f.
Meaning: `fathom' (Ψ 327).
Other forms: (Att. inscr. -υα), also ὀρόγυια (Pi.), -ᾶς, -ῆς, pl. αί (cf. below).
Compounds: As 2. member beside regelar and usual -όργυιος (λ 312) also δεκ-ώρυγος `ten fathoms long' a.o. (X. Kyn. 2,5) with comp. length. and remarkable metathesis (cf. -ώνυμος).
Derivatives: ὀργυι-αῖος (AP), -όεις (Nic.), `a fathom long or wide', -όομαι in (δι-, περι-)ωργυιωμένος `outstretched (a fathom wide)' (Ctes., Hipparch., Lyc.).
Origin: PG [a word of Pre-Greek origin]
Etymology: Subst. ptc. without reuplucation like ἄγυια, ἅρπυια (s. vv. w. lit.) a.o., from ὀρέγω (-ομαι? Fraenkel Glotta 32, 18) `stretch (the arms)' with vowel syncope conditioned by the oxytonesis (or ablaut) : ὀρόγυια (assim. from *ὀρέγυια?): ὀργυιᾶς, -αί; s. Schwyzer 255f., 381 a. 474 w. lit., also (on the meaning) 541 n. 5. Older lit. in Bq and WP. 2, 363. - The explanation as a perfect ptc. is rather difficult, both formally and semantic; for the old interpretation see Beekes Devel. 27f. Also the supposed archaic ablaut ὄργυια - ὀρόγυια is problematic; rather one thinks the o was anaptyctic, as Chantraine says in DELG ("semble secondaire"); anaptyxis is frequent in Pre-Greek (Furnée 378-385, esp. 381f.). The enaptyxis could also take the form -ορυγ- [from Pre-Greek *αρυγ-?], which explains the compound form -ωρυγ-, and the transition to -υος (Chantraine). Now that ἄγυια has proved to be a Pre-Greek word, this must also be assumed for our word. (Not in Furnée.)
