Notes
- The headword, attested only here but evidently quoted from somewhere, is the perfect passive participle, feminine nominative singular, of the compound verb
kathlo/w (more commonlykaqhlo/w ). Without a context it is impossible to tell whether the subject is a woman or merely something grammatically feminine, and whether the use of the verb is literal or figurative.
See alpha 2056 for the nounkaqh/lwsis .
