- πάγχυ
- πάγχυGrammatical information: Adv. = πάνυ.Meaning: `altogether' (Il., Sapph., Hdt.).Origin: GR [a formation built with Greek elements]Etymology: To πᾶν with unclear ending. Mostly with Osthoff MU 4, 253 f. considered as transformation of *πάγ-χι (as ἧ-χι) a.o. after πάν-υ. Against this Lagercrantz GHÅ 1925: 3, 137 f. and Schwyzer 624 n. 8 with other hypotheses: haplolog fom *πὰν ἀγχύ (Lagercrantz; to Skt. aṃhú- `narrow'; s. ἄγχω, ἄγχι); dissimilation from *πάγχνυ after πρόχνυ or to χέω (Schwyzer). Thesleff Intensification 144 f., with further details, gives no solution. Meier-Brügger HS 107 (1994)87f. assumes an old compound with *kʰu-t- of χέω, so `completely poured'.Page in Frisk: 2,460
