ἄση

Etymology
If the word originally meant "surfeit", then it could derive from. Unlikely is the suggestion by Solmsen, who assumed an analogically preserved suffix -σᾱ- from the zero grade root ἀ- <, rejecting a pre-form. It would be better to posit, an old collective from the s-stem in ; problematic, however, is the failure of a geminate -σσ- to appear in Aeolic. The simplification to -σ- would be due to epic influence, according to Schwyzer, but all in all, the explanation is.
