Notes

The headword is present participle, masculine nominative singular, of the middle-voice verb w)ne/omai. It is quoted from Aristophanes, Clouds 1224 (web address 1): cf. the scholia there. Despite the secondary gloss, the active voice w)ne/w is confined to grammars and lexica.
See generally LSJ s.v. w)ne/omai and cf. omega 122.
