Notes
- For the headword noun (again under kappa 1889 and kappa 2706, and cf. kappa 1890) see LSJ s.v. First attested in Homer, Odyssey 16.163 (dative case there: web address 1), probably the passage that has given rise to the present entry, it is later used of other animals and also of young children.
