Notes
- The headword is the third person plural, unaugmented imperfect form, of the deponent verb
mna/omai . It is misquoted here -- asmno/wnto instead of what it should be,mnw/onto -- from Homer, Odyssey 11.288 (web address 1).
See Cunliffe s.v.mna/omai , definition 3.
Other forms of this verb appear at mu 1149 and mu 1177.
