Notes
- The entry notes the equivalence between two alternative forms of the accusative singular of the feminine noun
fu=sa ('breath', 'bladder'; in plural, 'bellows', cf. phi 855). The latter is more common. Literary attestations of the former include the Hippocratic treatise On the Nature of Bones 13 and Oribasius 24.1.18, both with the meaning 'breath'.
