Notes (1)

  1. Entry out of alphabetical order, as Adler points out.
    The unglossed headword phrase, in the nominative singular, is presumably generated by the dative plural one in the quotation.
  2. 1Quotation unidentifiable. (Attributed to Aelian by the eighteenth-century Dutch scholar L.K. Valckenaer.) ↩
