Notes
- Likewise, variously, in other lexica and scholia, and see also Artemidorus 1.45.
The headword -- untranslatable into English in a way that can convey these two senses -- is the plural ofmh=dos , which in Greek needs to be regarded as two separate but identical neuter nouns: see LSJ s.v. (A) and (B); and for A, cf. under mu 889.
Compare, for this phenomenon,mh=lon (A) and (B): mu 934, etc.
