Betacode

*)aki/xhta: a)kata/lhpta.

Neuter plural. For the same entry in the masculine singular see alpha 873. But the present one is the primary one, as it derives from scholia on Homer, Iliad 17.75, with a)ki/xhta (Hector is chided by Apollo, in the guise of Mentes, for his unrealistic hopes of catching Achilles' horses).
