corresponds in sense, and the second element etymologically, with runic
Norse Haþuwulaf.^82
Many names feature the horse.^83 Here we can find a number of
correspondences, partly etymological, partly semantic, between Greek and
Indic or Iranian names: compare Avestan Hvaspa- ‘well-horsed’ (and Indic
Sauvas ́va-) with ΕOιππο; Yuxta ̄spa- ‘having yoked horses’ with
Ζε3ξιππο; Vedic S ́ya ̄váas ́va- ‘having dark-brown horses’ with
Μελα ́ νιππο, Κυα ́ νιππο, Ξα ́ νθιππο; Median Aspacanah- ‘horse-lover’
with Φλιππο; Old Persian Asaçuta- ‘horse-famed’ with UΙπποκλH,
= Ιπποκλο. We need not suppose that there was a continuous tradition of
each of these names, only that similar combinations kept suggesting them-
selves, given the common background and mindset.
There is a striking abundance of names containing the element lewes-
‘fame’ or luto- ‘famous’, sometimes identical with poetic epithets or
corresponding to poetic phrases.^84 In the Rigveda we find, among others:
Sus ́rávas- ‘of good fame’ (1. 53. 9 f., also as an epithet); compare Avestan
Haosravah- (Yt. 5. 49, al.), which later became Xusrav (Chosroes); Greek
Ε1κλH; Illyrian Vescleves-.
Pr
̇
thus ́rávas- ‘of wide fame’ (1. 116. 21); compare post-Vedic Urus ́ravas-;
Greek Ε1ρυκλH; perhaps Gaulish Verucloetius.^85
S ́rutáratha- ‘of the famed chariot’ (1. 122. 7); compare Mycenaean A-mo-
ke-re-[we], interpreted as Harmoklewe ̄s.
Devás ́ravas- ‘having fame from the gods’ (3. 23. 2–3); compare Greek
ΘεοκλH, Θεοκλ3μενο.
Satyás ́ravas- ‘of true fame’ (5. 79. 1–3); compare Greek ,ΕτεοκλH.
In post-Vedic India we find Du ̄res ́ravas- and Du ̄res ́ruta- ‘far-famed’,
corresponding to Avestan Du ̄rae ̄sru ̄ ta- (Yt. 13. 119), Greek ΤηλεκλH,
Τ λεκλο, and to epithets in the Atharvaveda (du ̄rás ́ravas-), Avesta (du ̄ra ̄t
̃
frasru ̄ta-), and Homer (τηλκλυτο). The Avesta also knows a woman
Sru ̄ tat
̃
.fəδrı ̄ (for *Sru ̄ ta.fəδrı ̄) ‘of famed father’, like Homeric Κλεοπα ́ τρη
(cf. Πατροκλη/Πα ́ τροκλο).
