Translation
[Meaning] distressing [ones].
Greek original · Adler’s text
Ἀλγηρά· τὰ λυπηρά.
Betacode
*)alghra/: ta\ luphra/.
Notes
- The glossing takes the headword to be neuter plural; note however that Hesychius s.v., with no
ta/ , construes it as feminine singular, and Latte claims the source as Jeremiah 10.19 [= 37.12: DW] LXX.
cf. generally alpha 1092, alpha 1093, alpha 1097.
