Notes (2)

1. 1For the headword adjective, see already pi 2162. The present entry's gloss on it (which is also in the Ambrosian Lexicon, according to Adler) presumably stems from a particular passage/context but is not reflected by anything in LSJ s.v. ↩
2. 2Bernhardy deleted to/ "the" here; Adler prints it but in square brackets. With or without it, it is unclear whether this should be understood as a single phrase or two, i.e. (as transmitted) 'colt's bite' and '(colt's) snorting'. (For snorting, see generally phi 746.) Either way, the first noun, transmitted as dh=gma, has been queried. Küster emended it to di/wgma "pursuit", comparing pwlikoi=s diw/gmasi at Hesychius pi4497; Hemsterhuis preferred dei=gma or paradei=gma on the basis of Etymologicum Magnum 698.15 ("a colt's example"). ↩
