Notes (3)
- 1The headword, which must be quoted from somewhere (not necessarily the Aristophanic line given below), is a poetic neuter accusative plural; the gloss is masculine accusative singular. Likewise or similarly in other lexica: see the references at Photius mu219 Theodoridis. ↩
- 2Aristophanes, Birds 1247-8 (web address 1), here abridged and (by
au)tou= becominga)/n ) corrupted; cf. kappa 893, and under pi 1029. ↩ - 3Same etymology in Etymologicum Magnum 576.16. ↩
