Appearance
See also: ἔπω
Ancient Greek
[edit]Etymology
[edit]Ultimately derived from a thematic present of Proto-Indo-European *sep- (“to care for”). Cognate with Sanskrit सपति (sapati, “he worships”), सपर्यति (saparyati, “he honors”) (see the Sanskrit root सप् (sap)), Avestan 𐬵𐬀𐬟𐬱𐬍 (haf-šī, “you hold (in the hand), support”), Latin sepelio (“to bury, inter”).[1] Related to ὅπλον (hóplon, “tool”) and possibly also ἐπητής (epētḗs, “courteous”), but unrelated to ἕπομαι (hépomai, “to follow”) and εἶπον (eîpon, “I said”).
