τριχάϊκες

A. the threefold people, Δωριέες, so called from their three tribes (’Υλλῆς, Δυμᾶνες, Πάμφυλοι), Od. 19.177; πάντες δὲ τριχάϊκες καλέονται τρισσὴν οὕνεκα γαῖαν ἑκὰς πάτρης ἐδάσαντο Hes. Fr. 191. (Apollon. ap. Sch.Od. l. c. compares κορυθάϊξ‐ικος and explains it as 'shaking the hair of their crests'; others rendered it τρίλοφοι, and others ὀρχησταί: more prob. Hesiod is right as to the sense; the first part is τρίχα (Adv.), the second not ἑκάς (as Hes. seems to suggest) but vικ‐ = Skt. viś- 'village', cogn. with vοῖκος; or vεικ‐, another grade of the same root.)
