Notes
- This headword is attested only in lexicography, but for its glosses cf. the related kappa 1301 (cf. epsilon 1938) and kappa 1300 respectively; and for both together see also epsilon 1303.
Theodoridis in his edition of Photius, following Naber, argues (vol. ii, p. XXIX) that this non-word arose from a corrupt version of Photius' entry onke/leuqos (kappa554), whereke/lhs ktl. was inserted between two parts of the verbe)cw/keilen . See also omega 46.
