Notes:
[1] An attempt to etymologize the headword
kw/mh (also at
kappa 2259,
kappa 2260). The first option relates it to the verb
koima/omai, and implicitly to the noun
kw=ma (
kappa 2251). The second relates it to the group of words including
xw=ma,
xo/w,
xw/nnumi, involving piles of earth.
[2] cf.
kappa 2260,
kappa 2263.
[3] Third person singular, aorist, of
kwma/zw "I carouse, I burst in on," extracted from the quotation which follows. For this verb see also
kappa 2252,
kappa 2254,
kappa 2255.
