Derivational etymology, referring to the custom of the tropaion ("trophy") erected on the battlefield, which consists of the spoils of the enemy hanging from a pole, and thereby "lifted". The wording in the Epimerisms (repeated in the Gudianum) is confusing, for αἴρω is first translated by "to take", which is the meaning of αἱρέω/αἱρῶ. The gloss τὰ βασταζόμενα makes it clear that the intended etymon is αἴρω "to lift" rather than αἱρέω "to seize". The translation "λαμβάνω" must result from an untimely intervention of a copyist who did not understand correctly. Note that Eustathius gives as the etymon of ἔναρα the verb αἴρω (Comm. Il., vol. 2, p. 695), and elsewhere ἐναίρω (Comm. Il., vol. 1, p. 127, see ἔναρα / ἐναίρω), maybe because he assumes that ἐναίρω is a compound of αἴρω, although he does not say so explicitly
