Notes

The headword is vocative singular of this rare adjective. Same or similar glossing of it in other lexica; references at Photius upsilon329, where Theodoridis points out that it is likely to have been quoted from Gregory of Nazianzus, Epistles 4.7 (which is in fact its only attestation outside lexicography).
cf. generally upsilon 743.
