Dear all
Please forgive my lingua.amateurism but I have nobody else to ask
then you in here
Searching the gender changing problem with the nouns I have notice
something like :
GeA-fem.gender
GheOS-masculine gender
------
TheA- fem.gen
TheOS -masc. gend
When searching the origin of word Zeus I have read nice explaination
in Henry George Liddel's and Robert Scott's ,Greek-Englesh Lexicon
sixth edition ,Oxford ,May I869
as follow
-" ....Äéüò-gen of Zåýò from obsol . Äßs. [ ĭ ]
*ÄÉ'Ó , an old nom .for Æåíò,wich appears in the oblique cases Äéüò
Äéú, Äßá(pl.Äßåò, .Äßáò,Plut.2. 425 E ),and the Lat. Dis ,
Diespiter ,
Dijovis .The contr.dat.Äß occurs in C.I no. I 6. Pind. N. I. III :
the
Acc Äß íçäß; v. Æåíò ( V. sub äßïò )..."
page -389
I am supposing that
*ÄÉ'Ó
could be shortly from
*ÄÉ'OÓ
Here is my dilema
Also I suppose that
origin of the suffiks OÓ having it's origin in
"suffiks" *ON
and that the whole word
*ÄÉ'OÓ originate in
*ÄÉ'ON
at Page.1130 about the Os section beginning is
ÏÓ ,Þ,ü,gen.ïà,
then at 1132 Page is stay as
'¼Ó,Þ, 'ü,v .. II.I 609., 305,Od. II 5 I 5 ) gen: ïßï .3
333, Od I.330 , ect.:Possessive Pron.: I. of the third per-
son for Ý
Knowing that genitive is case what is " expressing ownership"
I would like to know
How do we read this
Does it mean that "ON" originated in ÏÓ
or
ÏÓ having it's root in ïà i.e. ON ?
