Notes
- The headword is glossed as neuter nominative/accusative (rather than masculine accusative singular) of this very rare adjective, and must be quoted from somewhere. Same entry in other lexica (references at Photius nu153 Theodoridis) and similar ones elsewhere. In particular, Hesychius nu367 has the phrase
neo/fqitos ko/rh "newly corrupted maiden" -- a fragment of Attic tragedy (Tragica adespota fr.240 Nauck and Kannicht-Snell) -- glossed ash( a)/rti fqarei=sa, h( teleuth/sasa "she who has just been corrupted (or, killed), she who has died".
