*ka/mmoros: o( talai/pwros.
Same entry in ps.-
Zonaras and, according to Adler, the
Ambrosian Lexicon 39.
The headword is an epic contracted form of
kata/moros ('adversely-fated'), although ancient scholars tend to analyze it as deriving from
kako/moros ('bad-fated') by syncope:
Etymologicum Gudianum 297.6,
Etymologicum Magnum 488.42; cf. Apollonius'
Homeric Lexicon 95.7, and
Hesychius kappa604. Found requently in the masculine vocative singular in
Homer's
Odyssey: e.g. 5.160 (web address 1), 11.216, etc.
If the present entry's nominative singular has been quoted from somewhere in that form, a possible source is
Greek Anthology 7.621.2; alternatively this is simply a paradigmatic nominative generated by a vocative (cf. next note).
[1] The same gloss is used (in the vocative) in the
scholia to
Homer,
Odyssey 5.160.
