Notes (4)

  1. 1The headword, as Adler notes, is probably quoted from Aristophanes, Birds 171; cf. the scholia there, which have the first of these glosses. ↩
  2. 2From mwma/omai in the middle voice, rather. For related words see mu 1328, mu 1329, mu 1330, mu 1331. ↩
  3. 3Evidently quoted from somewhere. Same glossing in other lexica (see the references at Photius mu646 Theodoridis), and cf. the scholia to Homer, Iliad 3.412 (where mwmh/sontai occurs). ↩
  4. 4From Deuteronomy 32.5 LXX. Same glossing in other lexica: see the references at Photius mu647 Theodoridis. ↩
