Notes
- Likewise or similarly in other lexica.
The headword is an adjective etymologically connected with eyes and/or vision but with several specific applications in that area. LSJ (web address 1) distinguish:
-- 'of dub[ious] sense, perhaps fierce' (from Homer onwards, esp. of animals)
-- 'of eyes, flashing, bright' (the present glosses seem to relate to this sense)
-- 'glassy, glazed, dull, of the eyes of wine drinkers'
-- 'of one of the chief eye-colours in men and animals, perh[aps] bluish-grey'
-- 'of the sea, bluish-grey'.
