Notes (3)
- Adler indicates this entry, which is lacking in manuscripts AFV, as an interpolation.
- 1The more common sense of the headword is "shipwreck victim," as from the verb
a)/gnumi ["break"]; the meaning glossed here interprets the second element of the compound as the verba)/gw ["lead"]. ↩ - 2It has two terminations, i.e. no special feminine forms. ↩
- 3For instances of this, in poetry and prose alike, see LSJ s.v. ↩
