Notes
- The headword is an epic/poetic adverb. Similar glossing in other lexica, including Apollonius' Homeric Lexicon, and in a scholion on Homer, Iliad 3.155.
According to Chantraine s.v.,h)=ka is related toh(/sswn /h(/ttwn (eta 630) andh(/kista (eta 174), but with epic psilosis. Like LSJ s.v., he suggests that it may be cognate with Latin sēg-nis.
