Translation

The [verb that means] I cast into a mould.¹ Also [sc. attested is the term] xwnei/a ["metal-casting"], [formed] out of the [verb] xwneu/w.² Also [sc. attested is] xwnnu/w [used] similarly.³

Greek original · Adler’s text

Χωνεύω· τὸ εἰς χῶνον ἐμβάλλω. καὶ Χωνεία, ἐκ τοῦ χωνεύω. καὶ Χωννύω, ὁμοίως.

Betacode

*xwneu/w: to\ ei)s xw=non e)mba/llw. kai\ *xwnei/a, e)k tou= xwneu/w. kai\ *xwnnu/w, o(moi/ws.

Notes (3)

Compare ps.-Herodian 152 and (according to Adler) Lexicum Ambrosianum 431 & 438.
1LSJ s.v. registers xwneu/w as a contracted form of xoaneu/w. ↩
2For an instance see Polybius 34.10.12. ↩
3This form xwnnu/w is the first person singular, present active indicative/subjunctive, of xw/nnumi, in use in later Greek.
