    ar-5

    English meaning: to refuse; to lie

    Deutsche Übersetzung: “verweigern, leugnen”?

    Note: (with n- formant)

    Material: Gk. ἀρνέομαι (*ἀρνε-F-ομαι) “ refuses “, ἄπαρνος, ἔξαρνος “ refusing, denying everything “, ἀρύει ἀντιλέγει βοᾳ Hes.; Alb. rrêm “ false “, rrêmë, rrênë “ lie “, nërrój (from *rrënój) “ denies everything “ (rr from rn; Pedersen KZ. 33, 542 Anm. 2). Is even more doubtful whether Arm. uranam “ denies everything, refuses “, urast “ denial “ would be used (with ur- from ōr-).
