ὄβριμος

• ὄμβριμος (ómbrimos)

The word is traditionally compared with βρῑ́μη (brī́mē, “strength, might”), but the initial "ὀ-" yields serious problems. The prenasalization leads Beekes to suggest a Pre-Greek origin.

ὄβρῐμος • (óbrĭmos) m (feminine ὄβρῐμος or ὀβρίμᾱ, neuter ὄβρῐμον); first/second declension

1. strong, mighty, stout
