Notes (2)
- The headword is present imperative, third person singular, of
o)lolu/zw . This same form occurs in the headword phrase of omicron 192 (q.v.), of a (feminine) pine tree, and the present entry's phrase 'Properly in reference to women' perhaps suggests that the two entries are linked.
For this verb see also omicron 193, omicron 194. - 1Comparable glossing in ps.-Herodian and, according to Adler, the Ambrosian Lexicon. ↩
- 2Homer, Iliad 6.301 (web address 1), using the related noun, for which see omicron 186. ↩
