*)ece/fu: e)bla/sthsen.

Same entry in Hesychius and elsewhere. The headword is an intransitive athematic aorist of e)kfu/w, third person singular. It must be quoted from somewhere; perhaps Sophocles, Oedipus Tyrannus 1499 (where a scholiast glosses it with e)gennh/qh), though there are numerous other possibilities.
