Notes

  1. 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 phrase th\n ei)s to\ a)/nw moli/skein qoru/zousan "she who leaps to go up" (where qoru/zousan is a fictional form of qrw/|skw, and moli/skw is a hypothetical present of blw/skw, corresponding to the aorist e)/molon.)
    cf. Philoxenos fr. 64* Theodoridis, and Etymologicum Gudianum beta275.
