Notes (2)
- The word for 'window',
quri/s , is derived from the word 'door',qu/ra , which explains how it ends up being grouped with these other door-terms. - 1Likewise, according to Adler, in the Ambrosian Lexicon (398). The word is unattested elsewhere. ↩
- 2Perhaps from commentary on Aristophanes, who uses this diminutive term at Clouds 92, Thesmophoriazousai 26, and [see kappa 1709] Wealth 1098 (web address 1, web address 2, and web address 3). ↩
