Notes
- Same entry in other lexica. No form of the headword (which appears to be the nominative singular masculine form) occurs elsewhere, apart from the derivative entry in ps.-Zonaras 904. Perhaps a back-formation from
eu)frosu/nh ("happiness") or fromeu)/fron (the neuter nominative/accusative singular ofeu)/frwn ), which could easily be mistaken for a masculine accusative or neuter nominative/accusative form of the headword. Alternatively, Theodoridis (on Photius s.v.) supports ms V'seu)/foros .
For the glossing term cf. under iota 295; alpha 973 and rho 44 (comparative); iota 436 (superlative).
