Headword:
*)=hmar
Adler number: eta,283
Translated headword: day
Vetting Status: high
Translation: [
h)=mar means the same as]
h(me/ra.[1]
The [noun]
h)=mar is unaspirated; for aspirated [words] that are changed in form become unaspirated, as
h(donh/ [and]
h)=dos ["pleasure"],[2]
a(/ma [and]
a)/mudis ["together"];[3] so
h(me/ra [and]
h)=mar. But Herodian says that neuter [nouns] ending in
-os, if they begin with a syllable long by nature, are unaspirated; like
ai)=sxos ["shame"],[4]
eu)=xos ["boast, prayer"],[5]
eu)=ros ["breadth"],
h)=qos ["custom"];[6] so also
h)=mos ["when"] and
h)=mar.[7]
Sophocles [writes]: "what does one day have more of delight than another, adding or taking away from death?" Interpretation: what does one day have, adding life and postponing death, to give a man delight?[8]

Notes:
[1] Here and in other lexica, the archaic/epic/poetic form
h)=mar is here glossed by the Attic/koine
h(me/ra (cf.
eta 284). The Doric and Aeolic form is
a)=mar. The declension is of an ancient type in which
-r in the nominative/accusative alternates with *
-nt- in the oblique cases; cf.
h(=par,
u(/dwr,
skw=r. The aspiration of
h(me/ra in Attic is regarded as analogical with
e(spe/ra, according to Chantraine s.v.
[2] Herodian the grammarian (for whom see further below) says
h)=dos is Aeolic, which would account for initial psilosis (although
a)=dos would be expected in Aeolic): see
eta 102.
[3] The adverb
a)/mudis is also Aeolic: see
alpha 1667.

Eustathius I.154.38, citing Herodian's
Symposium. Needless to say, there is no particular connection between the type of declension (neuter nouns in -os) and the aspiration (or lack thereof) of the root.
