δηλέομαι

Ancient Greek

Alternative forms

δᾱλέομαι (dāléomai) — Doric

Etymology

Under the assumption of an original meaning 'split', this word was connected with δαιδάλλω (daidállō, “to adorn”) and δέλτος (déltos, “writing tablet”), presumed to be derived from Proto-Indo-European *delh₁- (“to hew, to split”). However, the ablaut forms are incompatible, and long ā can hardly be derived from PIE but Pre-Greek.
