- ἀρνευτήρ
- ἀρνευτήρ, -ῆροςGrammatical information: m.Meaning: `jumper'; also a bird (Il.). Sch. AT zu Μ 385: ἀρνευτηρ· ὁ κυβιστήρ, παρὰ τοὺς ἄρνας οὗτοι γὰρ κυβιστῶσιν ὥσπερ τὸν ἀέρα κυρίττοντες [the idea of the latter addition is unclear to me].Other forms: ἀρνευτής m. epithet of a fish (Numen. ap. Ath.; cf. Strömberg Fischnamen 50).Origin: GR [a formation built with Greek elements]Etymology: Derived from the stem ἀρνευ- seen in ἀρνηϜ- in ἀρνειός; βυτ τηε οριγιν οφ ἀρνευ- is not clear: one suggests ἀρήν (or ἄρσην: improbable). See Fur. 235 on ἄρναπον τὸν ἄρνα H. (Latte reads ἀρνάριον); he prefers an separate root for `jump'.Page in Frisk: 1,146
