Iliad 1.419 says
τοῦτο δέ τοι ἐρέουσα ἔπος Διὶ τερπικεραύνῳ
LSJ (in its various forms) says it's τερπι+κέραυνος -- delighting in thunder, and I know the κεραυνός part but what's τερπι? I can't find anything on it. Does it ever appear elsewhere, by itself or as a prefix?
What's the τερπι- part of τερπικέραυνος?

Thanks!
I haven't been able to figure out how to search the Perseus LSJ page for just a fragment of a word. Better yet, if there were an online page-by-page version of the whole lexicon (or either of its abridged versions) that would be wonderful...
