Notes:
The headword, a genitive plural, is attested only in lexicography: see below.
The entry is taken (with some abridgement: see n.1 below) from Harpokration, and all subsequent appearances of the word may result from attempts to etymologize the word from the entry in Harpokration. The translation of it tentatively offered here (by WEH) is derived from an entry found in both
Photius and the
Lexica Segueriana,
Collecto verborum utilium s.v.
