- δ1602Δυσβράκανοςhard to deal withDifferent readings are attested for the headword in Photius (dusba/rkanos, obelized by Theodoridis) and the Etymologicum Magnum (dusba/rnakos), probably by corruption in the manuscript transmission. Nonetheless it seems that the gloss stems from Photius, …
- δ1119Δίκυμαtwin-bearingFrom di- "two" and ku/w "conceive." Same entry in Photius (and ps.-Zonaras). The headword is otherwise unattested in this sense.
