Notes (1)
- For the headword cf. (besides pi 2438 and pi 2439) alpha 4576 and sigma 1004, with a reference to Aristophanes, Knights 528 (web address 1) -- where however the meaning of the word is quite different (uprooted, by the roots).
- 1To be mad about women. This appended etymology (also in Etymologicum Magnum 688.45-48) is highly improbable. ↩
