- πορεῖν
- πορεῖνGrammatical information: Aor.Meaning: `to provide, to donate, to offer, to grant' (ep. Il.).Other forms: πέπρωται perf. `it is (by fate) given, decided', ptc. πεπρωμένος (ep. Il.); ptc. πρωτός (Hdn. Gr.).Origin: IE [Indo-European] [not] *perh₃- `give'Etymology: Formation like μολεῖν : μέμβλωκα (: βλώσκω), θορεῖν (: θρώσκω) a.o.; s. vv. and Schwyzer 747 a. 770, Chantraine Gramm. hom. 1, 391 a. 433. The forms πρω- derive from the zero grade *pr̥h₃-. Not here the yot-present πείρω; s. v., nor the primary πέρνημι `sell' (which has h₂; s. v.). Skt. pí-par-ti `set over, bring over' will also rather have the root *perh₂-; here prob. also the frequentative Lat. portō, -āre `bring, carry'. Skt. pūrdhi `give' however belongs with πορεῖν (from *pr̥h₃-). The forms πέρᾱ, περάω clearly have h₂. Less clear is Lat. pars (W.Hofmann s. v.). -- Cf. also πόρις.Page in Frisk: 2,579-580
