ἀλέομαι

Ancient Greek

Pronunciation

 

Etymology 1

From the same root as the synonymous ᾰ̓λεείνω (ăleeínō) and as ᾰ̓λέᾱ (ăléā, “avoiding, escape”). Given the alternate forms with υ (u), these must have had the earlier form ἀλεϝ- (alew-), to which Beekes relates ᾰ̓λῠ́σκω (ălŭ́skō) as a zero-grade form.[1]

Alternative forms

  • ᾰ̓λεῦμαι (ăleûmai), ᾰ̓λεύομαι (ăleúomai)

Verb

ᾰ̓λέομαι • (ăléomai)

  1. to shun; to avoid
  2. to flee from
