Notes
- This unglossed headword seems to be an adjective (not in LSJ), here in the masculine nominative singular. It occurs in the feminine accusative singular in Apollonius' Homeric Lexicon (51.33-34), apparently as a synonym of
blwqrh/n "tall", with the further glossing phraseth\n ei)s to\ a)/nw moli/skein qoru/zousan "she who leaps to go up" (whereqoru/zousan is a fictional form ofqrw/|skw , andmoli/skw is a hypothetical present ofblw/skw , corresponding to the aoriste)/molon .)
cf. Philoxenos fr. 64* Theodoridis, and Etymologicum Gudianum beta275.
