Notes
- Unknown citation, also at kappa 2151, where the synonym
a)na/desmos is given. The noune)gko/mbwma is similarly glossed in the Etymologicum Gudianum and Etymologicum Magnum.
The noun is otherwise attested only as "fringe" (or "molar") in Hesychius; but it is clearly related tokombi/on "buckle".
