Notes
- Same entry in Hesychius alpha1374; similar ones elsewhere, including Apollonius' Homeric Lexicon, which goes on to quote Homer, Odyssey 10.93 (where the headword occurs, of a wave).
The headword is unaugmented imperfect middle form ofa)e/cw , a poetic variant ofau)/cw ; comes from *aweks- instead of *awks-.
