Notes (1)
- [1] While the headword itself could be either masculine or feminine (singular) in gender, this glossing word is feminine. Perhaps, therefore, the origin of the entry -- also in ps.-Zonaras -- was a comment on menstruation. (See generally LSJ s.v.) Alternatively, on the soul, as in the quotation given.↩
