*)asxali/dasma.
This noun occurs only here and, according to Adler, in the
Ambrosian Lexicon.
It should be derived from a verb *
a)sxalida/zw (unattested).
Hesychius has the participle
a)sxalia/zontes, which he glosses in the same way as (in another entry)
a)skwlia/zontes. For hopping on a wineskin, as at the Askolia (on the second day of the Athenian rural Dionysia festivals) see D. Whitehead,
The Demes of Attica (Princeton 1986) 214-215).
Alternatively, it could be connected with
sxali/zw, "suckle" (see
sigma 1766), with an alpha privative.
