    English meaning: oak

    Deutsche Übersetzung: “Eiche”

    Material: Gk. αἰγίλωψ “ an oaken kind “ (see under), presumably also κράτ-αιγος, κρατ- αιγών “ an uncertain type of tree “ (possibly “hard oak”). The outcome from αἰγίλωψ appears λώψ λώψ χλαμύς Hes., cf . λωπίον, λώπη, λοπός “ bowl, bark “ and Plin. n. h. 16, 6, 13 aegilops fert pannos arentes ...non in cortice modo, verum et e ramis dependentes, Kretschmer Gl. 3, 335. O.N. eik (conservative stem) f. “oak”, O.S. ēk, O.E. üc (Eng. oak), O.H.G. eih, M.H.G. eich, eiche, Ger. Eiche; All other cognates are dubious: Gk. ἄιγῑρος (more properly than αἴγειρος, s. Fick BB. 30, 273) possibly “aspen” could be created as “ tree trembler, (*oak shaker) “ also derivative like οἰκτί̄ρω from *αἰγί̄ρω “ swing, tremble “ (: *aig- “ move violently “); Lat. aesculus “(mountain oak), the winter or Italian oak “ (*aig-sklos?) is still unclear after its formation, maybe Mediterranean word. Maybe Alb.Gheg (*asi) ahi “*oak, beech” [the common Alb. s > h phonetic mutation in the middle of the word (See Root sue̯ krū-́ English meaning: “mother-in law or father-in-law” shift s > h in Alb. (*śváśura-) vjehërr “ father-in-law “). Root *ōs , ōs-i-s, ō̆s-en-, os-k- : “ash tree (Alb. ahi “beech”)” must have derived from Root aig-2 : “oak (Alb. ahu “oak”)”.
