Notes
- Same entry in ps.-Zonaras and, according to Adler, a comparable one in the Ambrosian Lexicon.
The headword adjective, neuter singular, is otherwise unattested. Hesychius has an entry, eta292, forhkes (left unaccented in Latte's edition), with the glosso)cu/ ("sharp")h)\ h)=lqes ("or, you came"). This could suggest that the Suda'sa)h/khs means "not sharp", but the glossing (cf. alpha 922) contradicts this. Presumably, therefore, the initial alpha is not privative.
