Notes
- Likewise or similarly in other lexica; references at Photius omicron137 Theodoridis. The nominative plural headword must be quoted from somewhere but is too commonplace to track down. In the sense "alone," the word has smooth breathing; in the sense "capable," it is aspirated.
See also omicroniota 150, omicroniota 151, omicroniota 152, omicroniota 154.
