Νηνεμία· ἀνέμων ἀπουσία.

Betacode

*nhnemi/a: a)ne/mwn a)pousi/a.

Notes

The headword noun is cognate with the adjective nh/nemos (nu 319). Same or similar glossing in other lexica (references in Photius nu189 Theodoridis) and cf. also the scholia to Homer, Odyssey 5.392, where the epic nominative nhnemi/h occurs.
