*ai)/sqwn: ai)sqano/menos, kai\ basanizo/menos, h)\ e)kpne/wn.

Same or similar entry in other lexica, including Apollonius' Homeric Lexicon, and cf. the scholia to Homer, Iliad 16.468, where the headword participle (masculine nominative singular) occurs (web address 1). The verb a)i/+sqw meaning 'breathe' seems to be interpreted here as a non-existent active form of ai)sqa/nomai.
cf. alpha 690.
