*kakhgorw=: ai)tiatikh=|. kai\ *kakhmorw=: ai)tiatikh=|.

[1] This verb is attested only here. It seems to have been formed from kako/s and more/w, which LSJ defines as "to make with pain and toil". The fact that we have the form kakhmore/w where kakomore/w would be expected is probably a result of analogy to forms in kakh- like the headword of this entry. (Adler reports that mss GI of the Suda have kakhmanw=, a form which is no easier to explain.)
