Notes (1)
- The primary headword, a neuter noun in the nominative/accusative plural, is derived from the verb
saro/w , 'sweep' (cf. sigma 144). It is unattested in any form outside lexicography, and in lexicography (apart from this present entry) it only occurs as a gloss or part of the gloss; cf. Hesychius alpha6760, Synagoge alpha1944, Photius alpha2674, alpha 3623. - 1This feminine abstract noun, derived from the same verb, appears here in the nominative singular, but outside lexicography is attested only (in the accusative singular) at Catena in Lucam (typus B) 117. 'Likewise' means that this word also means 'beautification', as made clear by the similar entry in Etymologicum Gudianum 496.31. ↩
