Notes
- As the glosses show, the headword (a single word in the Greek) is a neuter adjective being used adverbially.
Same or similar entry in other lexica (references at Photius upsilon104 Theodoridis), and see also the scholia to Homer, Iliad 17.19, from where this use of the headword is quoted (web address 1).
