Notes
- Epic epithet of sleep, an archaic compound of
ne- and the verbe)gei/rw . The entry comes from a scholion on Homer, Odyssey 13.74, where the headword occurs in the neuter as an adverb (the Phaeacians prepare a place for Odysseus to sleep on shipboard): see web address 1. Likewise in other lexica.
