Headword: *)aph/mona
Adler number: alpha,3161
Translated headword: unhurt
Vetting Status: high
Translation:
[Meaning] unharmed.[1]
Homer [writes]: "them he found no longer altogether unhurt nor without slaughter." He has combined two ideas, meaning some not unhurt, [i.e.] the wounded, and others not unslaughtered, [i.e.]the dead.[2]
*ph=ma [means] harm, from the [verb] ph/qw meaning panqa/nw.[3] The neuters ending in alpha[4] form compounds in four ways: either the compounds keep the same ending, like dh=ma, [giving] dia/dhma;[5] or they are derived from the genitive, like gra/mma, gra/mmatos, [giving] e)ggra/mmatos; or they change the ending to -os, like sto/ma, [giving] xruso/stomos; or they change the ending to -wn, like ei(=ma, [giving] leuxei/mwn and ph=ma, [giving] a)ph/mwn.[6]

Notes:
The headword (which must be quoted from somewhere) is either accusative masculine/feminine singular or nominative/accusative neuter plural of a)ph/mwn.
[1] Same or similar glossing in other lexica (references at Photius alpha2411 Theodoridis); and cf. already alpha 3158.
[2] Homer, Iliad 13.761, with scholion.
[3] *ph/qw and panqa/nw are grammarians' hypothetical formations from the aorist e)/paqon (see web address 1 and web address 2 below), analogous to e.g. lh/qw and lanqa/nw from e)/laqon. The regular present tense is pa/sxw.
[4] All examples given are of nouns with the suffix -ma.
[5] The nouns de/ma, dh=ma, dia/dhma are all formed directly from the verb de/w 'bind'.
[6] Certain adjectives in -mwn, such as a)ph/mwn, are closely related to nouns in -ma (E. Risch, Wortbildung der homerische Sprache ยง22a(a), p.47).
