οὐτάω

Ancient Greek

Etymology

Morphologically and etymologically unclear. Often connected with ὠτειλή (ōteilḗ, fresh wound) and with ἀάω (aáō, to hurt, damage). Already Karl Meister[1] thought it of Pre-Greek origin, which seems to be the best solution, by the interpretation of ὠτειλή (ōteilḗ) as a variant.
