α504Ἀδοξεῖταιis disgracefulSame entry in ps.-Zonaras. [1] The second glossing phrase indicates that the subject of the headword -- a single word in the Greek -- is neuter. This makes it probable (though not demonstrable) that …Matched in noteshighshort
α506Ἀδορατίαnon-deploymentThe headword, attested only here and in ps.-Zonaras (though Adler cites a comparable entry in the Ambrosian Lexicon), literally means "spearlessness", from do/ru, "spear": see delta 1394, and cf. delta 1378 for the diminutive …Matched in noteshighshort

α534ἍδρησιςmaturitySame entry in ps.-Zonaras; and Adler reports a comparable one in the Ambrosian Lexicon (452). Otherwise, the sole occurrence of the headword is in one of Basil of Caesarea's Homilies on the Hexaemeron (6.8: …Matched in noteshighshort

α539ἈδυναστίimpotentlyIn the Greek, a smaller difference (of suffix). The headword version (LSJ entry at web address 1) is attested only here and in the parallel entry in ps.-Zonaras.Matched in noteshighshort

α548Ἀελπέωνun-hoping, despairingThe headword a)elpe/wn is similarly glossed in ps.-Zonaras, i.e. in a way which shows that it is a present participle in the masculine nominative singular. (Adler reports the same entry in the Ambrosian Lexicon.) …Matched in noteshighshort

α556Ἀερέθονταιthey drive onSame entry in ps.-Zonaras and, according to Adler, in the Ambrosian Lexicon. Hesychius alpha1385 has the same headword but different glossing: ai)wrou=ntai, kre/mantai. Latte ad loc. regards it as being quoted from Homer, Iliad …Matched in noteshighshort

α557Ἀεργηλήnon-workingSame entry in ps.-Zonaras. The headword is feminine nominative singular of the epic/poetic adjective a)erghlo/s, perhaps (though not demonstrably) generated by the feminine genitive singular a)erghla=s in the quotation given. [1] cf. Hesychius' glossing …Matched in noteshighshort

α562Ἀερόενairy, cloudy, murkySame entry in ps.-Zonaras; longer one in Hesychius, who gives two other synonyms before the present one (me/lan, baqu/). An oddity; possibly a gloss on the occurrence of the neuter singular headword in a …Matched in noteshighshort

α563Ἀερονηχεῖςair-swimmingA slip, here and in ps.-Zonaras. Aristophanes does use this mock-tragic adjective, in Clouds 337, but of birds; a scholiast there simply says "the ones swimming in the air". See web address 1.Matched in noteshighshort

α568ἈετασίαafflictionSame entry in ps.-Zonaras and, according to Adler, the Ambrosian Lexicon. The headword (presumably related to alpha 567) is otherwise unattested.Matched in noteshighshort

α589ἈζηλόενgloomySame entry in ps.-Zonaras and, according to Adler, the Ambrosian Lexicon. This adjective, here neuter nominative/accusative singular, is otherwise unattested and its etymology is unclear. It could be related to a)/zhlos "unenviable, dreary" (alpha …Matched in noteshighshort

α591Ἀζήμιθρονloss-freeSame entry in ps.-Zonaras and, according to Adler, the Ambrosian Lexicon. The headword -- masculine accusative singular or neuter nominative singular of this adjective (ignored in LSJ) -- is otherwise unattested. For the (commonplace) …Matched in noteshighshort

α599ἉζητόςvenerableSame entry in ps.-Zonaras and, according to Adler, the Ambrosian Lexicon. The headword adjective -- derived from the verb a(/zomai -- is otherwise unattested. For the glossing word see sigma 178.Matched in noteshighshort

α601ἈζμώθAzmoth, AzmavethSon of Jehoaddah (Septuagint Ioiada): I Chronicles 8.36 etc. (Same entry in ps.-Zonaras; similar one, according to Adler, in the Ambrosian Lexicon.)Matched in noteshighshort

α609Ἀειγλήνῃσιν(with) constant-dirtinessesA dative plural. Ps.-Zonaras has it in the form a)eiglinh=|si, with the gloss tai=s dihne/kesi r(upari/ais "with continual filthinesses." The word is not otherwise attested in any form, but the first element of its …Matched in noteshighshort

α654ἌηκεςsharpSame entry in ps.-Zonaras and, according to Adler, a comparable one in the Ambrosian Lexicon. The headword adjective, neuter singular, is otherwise unattested. Hesychius has an entry, eta292, for hkes (left unaccented in Latte's …Matched in noteshighshort

α657Ἀήμεναιto blowSame entry in Hesychius, ps.-Zonaras and, according to Adler, the Ambrosian Lexicon. The headword occurs twice in Homer: Latte on Heschius s.v. asserts that it is quoted here from Odyssey 3.156, but there may …Matched in noteshighshort

α658Ἀηνέςaenes, (?)never-endingSame entry in ps.-Zonaras; similar one in Hesychius alpha1513, with three glosses -- the first as here, then la/bron (sic: "turbulent") and a)/qlion ("wretched"). The headword, neuter singular, must be quoted from somewhere but …Matched in noteshighshort

α683ἌϊθεςAithes, AethesAttested only here and in ps.-Zonaras, whose entry is 'Aithes and Aines, peoples'. (For the latter see alpha 685.) Perhaps a faulty version of Aithikes (alphaiota 123).Matched in noteshighshort

α685ἌϊνεςAinesUnattested outside lexicography. (The corresponding entry in ps.-Zonaras is: 'Aithes and Aines, peoples'; for the first of these see already alpha 683.)Matched in noteshighshort

α719Ἀθέρεςchaff, stalksSame entry in ps.-Zonaras and, according to Adler, the Ambrosian Lexicon (703); more informatively in e.g. Apollonius' Homeric Lexicon. The headword, nominative plural of the masculine noun a)qh/r, might be quoted from somewhere but, …Matched in noteshighshort

α720Ἀθέρισονslight, make light ofSame entry in ps.-Zonaras and, according to Adler, the Ambrosian Lexicon. The headword, aorist active imperative of a)qeri/zw (LSJ entry at web address 1 below), must be quoted from somewhere but is not independently …Matched in noteshighshort

α721Ἀθερώσσει(?)lies awakeSame entry in ps.-Zonaras; similar one, according, to Adler, in the Ambrosian Lexicon, where however the headword is a)qrw/ssei rather than this a)qerw/ssei. Either way, the verb is otherwise unattested.Matched in noteshighshort
