Notes (3)
- LSJ s.v.
ni/glaros gives 'trills, quavers' for the plural and 'whistle (the sound)' for the singular. - 1Nominative plural; same gloss in Photius (nu217 Theodoridis), and very similar already in Hesychius (nu560), where Latte claims the word as quoted from Pherecrates (fr. 145.27 Kock = 155.27 K.-A.). See also tau 338. ↩
- 2From a scholion on Aristophanes, Acharnians 554, where the genitive plural
nigla/rwn occurs (web address 1). ↩ - 3Adler indicates that this sentence is an interpolation. ↩
