Notes (2)

  1. 1Same equivalance in other (late) lexica. As transmitted, this headword r(agw=sai is aorist infinitive of an otherwise unattested verb r(ago/w. LSJ s.v. declares this probably a false reading for (otherwise unattested) r(akw=sai, which does not seem much help (r(ako/w means "I become ragged or wrinkled"). ↩
  2. 2Isaiah 58.8 LXX. Here the verb is future passive of r(h/gnumi, third person singular. ↩
