Translation
The [verb that means] I taste; [used] with a genitive.
Greek original · Adler’s text
Πάσσω· τὸ γεύομαι· γενικῇ.
Betacode
*pa/ssw: to\ geu/omai: genikh=|.
Notes
- The headword verb is used with a partitive genitive of "salt" at Homer, Iliad 9.214 (web address 1); perhaps the gloss "taste" arose from a misinterpretation of that verse.
