Notes (3)
- The first part of this entry = Etymologicum Genuinum, Etymologicum Magnum 810.29. Compare also Hesychius and ps.-Herodian 150.
- 1The headword (which must be quoted from somewhere) is the neuter nominative/accusative plural superlative used suppletively with the positive degree adjective
kako/s . This form is also used adverbially; see LSJ s.vxei/rwn at web address 1 below. ↩ - 2This is not related to the headword, but is the masculine accusative singular (presumably from the quotation that follows) of the noun
xeiristh/s , from "hand" (xei/r ) whereas the headword is from *xer -ywn and analogically *xer -yistos . ↩ - 3Quotation (and individuals) unidentifiable. ↩
