Notes
- The headword participle, from the rare verb
mulia/w , is quoted from Hesiod, Works and Days 530 (web address 1). It refers there to something other than the present gloss suggests: teeth-chattering or -grinding of woodland animals in wintertime. (The scholia there do better; see also Etymologicum Magnum s.v.)
