Headword: Haphê
Adler number: alpha,4561
Translated headword: touch
Vetting Status: high
Translation:
One of the five senses. From the second conjugation verb a)fw=[1] ["I touch"]; from which has come the derivative a)fa/ssw ["I feel"]. Touch [a(fh/] can have been derived both from a(fw= [pronounced] perispomenon[2], and from a(/fw [pronounced] barytone.[3]
Greek Original:
Haphê: mia tôn e# aisthêseôn. apo tou aphô rhêmatos deuteras suzugias: ex hou paragôgon gegone to aphassô. hê de haphê dunatai kai apo tou haphô perispômenou gegonenai, kai apo tou haphô barutonou.
Notes:
Same entry in other lexica. See also alpha 4600.
[1] a)fw= here seems to be an error for a(fw=, or else a hypothetical form providing etymology for a)fa/ssw (for which see alpha 4563).
[2] a(fw=, the contracted form of a(fa/w, "I handle", denominative verb from a(fh/ (cf. phi 578).
[3] The alleged verb a(/fw (with recessive accent, not contract) is attested only here and in the parallel entries in other lexica. The normal verb for "I grasp, I kindle" is a(/ptw, for which see alpha 3708.
