L’anthroponyme mycénien wa-ra-qi-si-ro (KH X 7)

L’anthroponyme mycénien wa-ra-qi-si-ro (KH X 7) AbstractThe Mycenaean personal name wa-ra-qi-si-ro has been interpreted as the older variant of wa-ra-pi-si-ro (PY, MY), but this hypothesis comes up against several phonetic problems. This paper proposes two alternative explanations of wa-ra-qi-si-ro: either /Wrakwsilos/, a clipping of *Wrakwsi-lāhos, compound of the root *u̯ergu̯-/*u̯regu̯- “throw” and *lāho- “stone”, or /Wrankwsilos/, a nickname derived from the adjective attested in later Greek ῥαμψός “crooked”. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Kadmos - Zeitschrift für vor- und frühgriechische Epigraphik de Gruyter

Abstract

AbstractThe Mycenaean personal name wa-ra-qi-si-ro has been interpreted as the older variant of wa-ra-pi-si-ro (PY, MY), but this hypothesis comes up against several phonetic problems. This paper proposes two alternative explanations of wa-ra-qi-si-ro: either /Wrakwsilos/, a clipping of *Wrakwsi-lāhos, compound of the root *u̯ergu̯-/*u̯regu̯- “throw” and *lāho- “stone”, or /Wrankwsilos/, a nickname derived from the adjective attested in later Greek ῥαμψός “crooked”.
