Notes
- The headword is the present participle, masculine/neuter genitive singular, of
muka/omai . It has the same glossing in the Lexica Segueriana and one would therefore think it quoted from somewhere; note, however, that other lexica (see the references at Photius mu587 Theodoridis) have masculine accusative plurals -- withmukwme/nous likely to be quoted from Plato, Republic 396B (of bulls).
cf. mu 580, mu 1392, mu 1394.
