Notes
- Same entry, according to Adler, in the Ambrosian Lexicon.
By contamination with alpha 638, presumably, the headword has been transmitted as the masculine present participlea)ei/rwn ("raising"), which has caused the gloss to be masculine also. Both should in fact be neuter. Hesychius (alpha1311) and the Etymologicum Magnum (21.43) glossa)/eiron (ora)/iron ) witha)/rrhton as well asa)qw/peuton : this would suggest derivation from the root *wer- as ine)rw= . See LSJ s.v. (web address 1). For a homonym, see alpha 637.
