upsila

释义与例句

n.
  1. 1.

    plural of upsilon

    Gk. ῦει ‘to rain’ may represent either *sE₂uH₂-ye- or *E₂uH₂-ye- (spiritus asper being automatic on initial upsila), thus a -ye/o- derivative (stative like e. g. χαίρω?) from the zero grade of the root stem seen in Toch. A 3 pl. swiñc < *sE₂uH₂-énti.

    Inconsistent letter forms: e.g. upsila in 1.2; kappas in 1.7; long rho in πρωτον vs. short rho in ημετερα; epsila in επελθω.

词源

From the Ancient Greek ὖ ψιλά (û psilá), plural construction of ὖ ψιλόν (û psilón).
