Notes
- Likewise or similarly in other lexica; references at Photius pi753 Theodoridis, where the source of the neuter plural headword is identified as Exodus 28.42 LXX.
The second glossfhmina/lia comes from Latin fēminālia, "thigh-bandages" (Lewis and Short s.v.). See also pi 1283; and cf. phi 460, alpha 1993.
