ἱμάς
Ancient Greek
editEtymology
editAs a secondary formation in -ντ-, this word presupposed a noun *ἱμᾱ (*himā) or ἱμα (hima) meaning "rope", which is also continued in ἱμάω (himáō), ἱμάσθλη (himásthlē) and ἱμαῖος (himaîos). An n-stem is continued by ἱμονιά (himoniá), which probably derives from *ἱμων (*himōn). This last form exactly matches Proto-Germanic *sīmô (“rope”), and also Sanskrit सीमन् (sīman, “border, frontier, margin”), all from Proto-Indo-European *sh₂i-men (“to tie, bind”). A suffix -m- is also found in Irish sim (“chain”).
