Notes
- The headword is aorist imperative, second person plural, of
kore/w (kore/w (A) in LSJ), very probably quoted from Homer, Odyssey 20.149: "come, let some of you busily sweep out the hall". The Suda is guessing at its meaning. The Etymologicum Magnum has "sweep, make"; the scholiast ad loc. and Eustathius have "sweep"; Apollonius' Homeric Lexicon has "make pretty".
