Betacode

*paifa/ssw: faneropoiw=, h)\ o(rmw=.

Epic/poetic verb. For this glossing (which appears to reflect the transitive usage noted by LSJ s.v.), cf. the scholia to Homer, Iliad 2.450, where the participle paifa/ssousa occurs. Likewise or similarly in other lexica, including Apollonius' Homeric Lexicon.
