Notes (1)
- Same or similar entry in other lexica; references at Photius nu213 Theodoridis. The headword must be quoted from somewhere, probably (as Latte on Hesychius claims) Job 11.12 LXX: "But man vainly buoys himself up with words" (Brenton).
- 1The derivation given is correct, with -
hx - used as a derivational ending. ↩
