[Meaning] inexperience.
*)ai+drei/h: h( a)peiri/a.
Same entry, post-Suda, in
Etymologicum Magnum 42.44-47, which goes on to quote
Homer,
Iliad 7.197-199. The headword -- connected with
alpha 678, q.v. -- occurs in the mss of line 198 there (dative case); and 'inexperience' is the gloss of the
scholia thereto, and also in other lexica (Apollonius'
Homeric Lexicon,
Hesychius). However, while this form does occur in
Homer (
Odyssey 12.41), at
Iliad 7.198 modern editors print its opposite,
i)drei/h| (from
Aristarchus et al.), which the sense requires.
cf. generally
iota 131,
iota 133.
