Vetting Status: high

Notes:
Both the headword itself (third person singular, present indicative active, of
a)paiqria/zw) and the word contrasted with it (the corresponding form of
sunne/fw) are drawn from the quotation given. Weather verbs are normally impersonal, except when, as here, Zeus is the subject. Cf.
kappa 394,
kappa 889,
nu 294,
omicron 231, and especially
xi 129.
