[kwlh=non means the same as] kwli/kion.

Greek original · Adler’s text

Κωλῆνον· τὸ κωλίκιον.

Betacode

*kwlh=non: to\ kwli/kion.

Notes

This headword kwlh=non appears to be a corruption of kwlh/nion, the diminutive of kwlh/n (see under kappa 2236) "thigh" (so Küster), or kwlh/pion, the diminutive of kw/lhy (kappa 2238) "hollow of knee" (so Bernhardy). The gloss in turn is a mispelling of kwlh/kion, a diminutive of kw/lhc, which LSJ defines as synonymous to kw/lhy. Neither diminutive is otherwise attested.
