Notes
- This adjective is a variant spelling of the epic adjective
fusi/zoos , which probably had the original meaning "producingze/a (grain)" but was reinterpreted as if fromzwh/ "life." Likewise or similarly glossed in other lexica, and cf. also a scholion on Homer, Iliad 3.243, wherefusi/zoos ai)=a occurs (web address 1).
