οὐτάω
Ancient Greek
Alternative forms
Etymology
Morphologically and etymologically unclear. Often connected with ὠτειλή (ōteilḗ, “fresh wound”) and with ἀάω (aáō, “to hurt, damage”). Already Karl Meister[1] thought it of Pre-Greek origin, which seems to be the best solution, by the interpretation of ὠτειλή (ōteilḗ) as a variant.
Pronunciation
- (5th BCE Attic) IPA(key): /uː.tá.ɔː/
- (1st CE Egyptian) IPA(key): /uˈta.o/
- (4th CE Koine) IPA(key): /uˈta.o/
- (10th CE Byzantine) IPA(key): /uˈta.o/
- (15th CE Constantinopolitan) IPA(key): /uˈta.o/
Verb
οὐτᾰ́ω • (outắō)
Usage notes
Lewis and Short suggest that the Epic second aorist form οὖτᾰ (oûtă) functions as if it derives from a form οὔτημι (oútēmi).
