Headword:
Blêturi
Adler number: beta,335
Translated headword: blittery, blah-blah
Vetting Status: high
Translation: Thus they also say skindapsos. They are word-fillers which have no meaning.[1] But Juba explains the skindapsos as a musical instrument, but blituri as the sound of a string [of it].[2]
Greek Original:Blêturi: houtô legousi kai skindapson. eisi de paraplêrôma logôn mê echonta logon. Iobas de ton skindapson organon mousikon apodidôsi, to de blituri chordês mimêma.
Notes:
This form of the headword, spelled
blh/turi, occurs only here; it is normally
bli/turi, as later in the entry.
