κερτομέω
Appearance
Ancient Greek
[edit]Etymology
[edit]Prellwitz assumed a univerbation of κείρω (keírō, “to shear, shave”) + τέμνω (témnō, “to cut, hew”), a type of formation which remains hypothetical. Furnée refers to καρτομιστής (kartomistḗs, “mocker”): the varying vocalism would point to Pre-Greek origin. Another connection has been made to Latin cārinō (“to revile, blame, insult”) and κάρνη (kárnē, “penalty, punishment”), by Schrijver to σκερβόλλω (skerbóllō, “to insult, mock, slender”), which in turn leads to σκέραφος (skéraphos, “abuse, reproach”), alleging Pre-Greek substrate. Furnée adds a comparison with Hittite [script needed] (kartimii̯e, “to be angry”).
