Notes
- The headword is imperfect (unaugmented) of
r(oxqe/w , third person singular. Same glossing in Apollonius' Homeric Lexicon s.v., so surely quoted from Homer, Odyssey 5.402 (where it describes a wave battering the shore: web address 1).
For the gloss, cf. also the scholia to Homer, Odyssey 12.60, where the present tenser(oxqei= occurs, similarly, of a wave hitting rocks (web address 2).
