Lupus Est Homo Homini
Homer, Iliad 4.471-472 (tr. Peter Green):
Heinrich Ebeling on δνοπαλίζω in Lexicon Homericum:
Ebeling's reference to Rumpf is to Heinrich Rumpf, "Ueber die Bedeutung und Ableitung von δνοπαλίζω," Neue Jahrbücher für Philologie und Paedagogik 73 (1856) 268-274. His reference to "Duentz." is to H. Düntzer, "Homerische etymologieen (Fortsetzung)," Zeitschrift für vergleichende Sprachforschung 14.3 (1865) 181-215 (at 210-212).
Francis A. Wood, "Iteratives, Blends, and 'Streckformen'," Modern Philology 9.2 (October, 1911) 157-194 (at 164) accepts the derivation from δονέω plus πάλλω (both meaning shake) and classifies it under the heading "Iterative Compounds of Synonymous Words."

Like wolvesW. Beck on δνοπαλίζω in Lexikon des frühgriechischen Epos:
they sprang one at another, and fighter battered fighter.
οἳ δὲ λύκοι ὣς
ἀλλήλοις ἐπόρουσαν, ἀνὴρ δ᾽ ἄνδρ᾽ ἐδνοπάλιζεν.
Francis A. Wood, "Iteratives, Blends, and 'Streckformen'," Modern Philology 9.2 (October, 1911) 157-194 (at 164) accepts the derivation from δονέω plus πάλλω (both meaning shake) and classifies it under the heading "Iterative Compounds of Synonymous Words."
