Notes (1)
- Adjective used, in literal applications, of animals or fish, but also open to metaphors. The headword is its genitive singular; see further, next note.
- 1Likewise in other lexica: see the references at Photius lambda328 Theodoridis, where the suggestion that the headword is quoted from John Chrysostom (adversus Iudaeos 8.1 [PG 48.927]:
de/doike linoplh=go/s tinos zw|/ou ou)de\n a)/meinon diakei/menos "he is afraid, in no better condition than some net-shy animal") is endorsed. ↩
