Notes
- The headword is nominative singular of this feminine noun, and as such may be quoted from somewhere or may be a generic lexical reference. Adler cites Lexicon Ambrosianum 1238 as identical. The noun is attested in Ecclesiastes (LXX), Philo of Alexandria, and Christian writers.
For related words see pi 2939 through pi 2941 and the other entries from pi 2945 to pi 2949.
