Notes (1)
- The headword phrase appears at, and is evidently extracted from, Homer, Iliad 3.3 (web address 1): the Trojans rally for battle against the Achaeans with a clamor like cranes before the front of heaven.
The principal element in it is derived fromou)rano/s (heaven; see generally LSJ s.v.); the formou)rano/qi is adverbial of place (Smyth §342, web address 2). - 1The gloss follows a scholion (of Aristonicus) to the aforementioned passage. ↩
