Notes (2)
- 1The primary headword, possibly (though not necessarily) extracted from somewhere, is the present active infinitive of the verb
o(rme/w , I am moored, I lie at anchor; see LSJ s.v. The distinction implied here by the lexicographer, between a ship drawn up out of the water and one still afloat but riding at anchor, is not borne out by usage. ↩ - 2The second and third of these elements appear again at omicron 603. Adler also cites Lexicon Ambrosianum 547 for comparison. [In her critical apparatus Adler notes that ms S gives this verb as
o(rma/zw -- a late form ofa(rmo/zw , according to LSJ.] ↩
