Notes
- The adjective here is derived from
a)hdw/n , "nightingale" (alpha 651). The first phrase, according to Adler, is also in the Ambrosian Lexicon.
If these two phrases -- cf. generically alpha 569 -- are quotations, they are unidentifiable (albeit comparable with ones, in tragedy and comedy, which use different nouns).
