Headword: Ἀλεαίνοιμι
Adler number: alpha,1109
Translated headword: I might keep warm
Vetting Status: high
Translation:
I might make myself warm. "Then I put this on, so that I might keep warm." Aristophanes [sc. writes this].[1]
[The verb] ἀλεαίνειν [comes] from us gathering together [ἀολλίζεσθαι ] during the days. And in Athens [the] Heliaia was a lawcourt, [named] from the gathering together of the men [involved]. But others [sc. derive the term] from ἀλεαίνειν , which is to heat and to melt. Some, though, [derive it] from the exhalation which is produced from the mouth on to the fingers; this is called αὔειν ["to blow"] and ἄζειν ["to sigh"] by imitation of the sound that [comes] out of the mouth.[2]
Greek Original:
Ἀλεαίνοιμι: θερμαινοίμην. ἔπειθ' ἵν' ἀλεαίνοιμι τοῦτ' ἠμπισχόμην. Ἀριστοφάνης. Ἀλεαίνειν: ἀπὸ τοῦ ἀολλίζεσθαι ἡμᾶς ἐν ταῖς ἡμέραις. καὶ ἐν Ἀθήναις Ἡλιαία δικαστήριον ἦν, ἀπὸ τῆς συναγωγῆς τῶν ἀνθρώπων. οἱ δὲ ἀπὸ τοῦ ἀλεαίνειν, ὅ ἐστι θερμαίνειν καὶ διαχεῖν. τινὲς δὲ ἀπὸ τῆς γινομένης διαπνεύσεως ἐκ τοῦ στόματος πρὸς τοὺς δακτύλους: ὃ λέγεται αὔειν καὶ ἄζειν κατὰ μίμησιν τῆς φωνῆς, τῆς ἐκ τοῦ στόματος.
