Νεωρῆ· νεωστὶ ἠρτημένον· ἢ ἐκ νέου τινὸς καὶ ὥραν ἔχοντος νέαν. ὁρῶ νεωρῆ βόστρυχον τετμημένον. καὶ Σοφοκλῆς· φόβον νεωρῆ τῆς ἐμῆς ἐπεισόδου.

Notes (2)

  1. Accusative singular, from the quotations given, of the adjective new/rhs. (The ultima is accented only in Byzantine lexica (here and Etymologicum Magnum s.v. bo/struxos), and Herodian, De Prosodia Catholica p. 72 Lentz records it explicitly as an adjective whose neuter is accented on the penult.)
  2. 1Sophocles, Electra 901 (with new/rh: web address 1), preceded here by the glossing of the scholia there. ↩
  3. 2Sophocles, Oedipus at Colonus 730 (web address 2). ↩
