Notes (1)
- The headword is an adjective in the nominative (and vocative) feminine singular, which here presupposes the feminine noun
w(/ra ; cf. omicron 585, kappa 1860 (gloss), and see LSJ s.v.
Same entry, according to Adler, in the Ambrosian Lexicon (496). - 1In the gloss,
o)/rqrou is the genitive singular of the masculine nouno)/rqros . LSJ s.v. defines it as daybreak, dawn, but Wallace [below], reviewing all the evidence, insists on the dark, pre-dawn hours of night. ↩
