Ancient Greek[edit]
Etymology[edit]
Uncertain. Beekes notes that, if it derives from κέλομαι (kélomai, “to urge, exhort”), the -ευ- 'remains unexplained', and compares it to κέλευθος (kéleuthos) and τελευτή (teleutḗ). This etymology is incomplete. You can help Wiktionary by elaborating on the origins of this term. what does beekes mean here? isn't this just the suffix -εύω [for which we have an entry]
Pronunciation[edit]
- (5th BCE Attic) IPA(key): /ke.lěu̯.ɔː/
- (1st CE Egyptian) IPA(key): /keˈle.wo/
- (4th CE Koine) IPA(key): /ceˈle.βo/
- (10th CE Byzantine) IPA(key): /ceˈle.vo/
- (15th CE Constantinopolitan) IPA(key): /ceˈle.vo/
Verb[edit]
κελεύω • (keleúō)
Usage notes[edit]
The person being urged or commanded generally takes the accusative (and sometimes the dative), and the action being requested takes the infinitive.
