ἧλιξ

Ancient Greek

Alternative forms

ἇλῐξ (hâlĭx) — Doric, Aeolic

Etymology

From an earlier *σϝᾱλιξ (*swālix), from Proto-Indo-European *sweh₂-lik- (“as old”), from *swé (“self”) and perhaps *h₂el- (“to grow”) + the same suffix found in ἡλῐ́κος (hēlĭ́kos, “as big as”). For the semantics, compare ἔτης (étēs, “clansman, private person”), Sanskrit स्वक (svaka, “relative, friend”),^[1] and Latin sodālis (“companion, comrade”). See also Latin aequālis (“equal”).
