Notes
- Likewise in other lexica; references at Photius upsilon93, where Theodoridis obelizes the transmitted headword and cites G.Dindorf's view (now orthodox) that these entries derive from the scholia to Homer, Odyssey 9.245, where the phrase
u(p' e)/mbruon occurs.
LSJ s.v. gives only the sense 'foetus'.
