Notes
- The headword noun has medical (e.g. ulcers) and other senses.
The glosse)kragh/ , otherwise unattested, is interpreted by LSJ s.v. as probably a false reading "forkraugh/ , as in Zonar[as]"; hence "screaming-out". However, this fails to explain the initial epsilon, which appears more likely to be part of the prefix ek- as ine)krh/gnumi ; and cf. generally epsilon 606.
