Anybody know what is going on here? Is this a compound? Where does the omega come from?
Thanks

Re: Etymology for ἀπωθέω
Yes. Compound. Omega is part of the root, the omicron in the prefix gets dropped before another vowel.
If you look at the LSJ entry, it gives you a hint here by listing it as ἀπ-ωθέω, with the hyphen telling you how the word breaks down.

πάνυ γε. ἀπο-ωθέω. ἡ ρίζα ωθ ἐστιν. ἰδὲ τὸν λόγον τὸ "ὠθισμός."

Thanks. These LSJ and Middle Liddell entries didn't have a hyphen so I was confused: http://www.perseus.tufts.edu/hopper/mor ... w-contents
