[Meaning] whip!

Greek original · Adler’s text

Μάστιε· μάστιζε.

Betacode

*ma/stie: ma/stize.

Notes

The headword is present imperative, second person singular, of masti/w (an epic variant of masti/zw); it is taken to be quoted from Homer, Iliad 17.622, where it is applied to chariot horses. Same glossing in Hesychius mu357 and the Etymologicum Magnum.
