Notes:
The gloss on this entry is taken from the
scholia to
Aristophanes,
Acharnians 866, where
bombaulios occurs (web address 1 below).
Bombaulios is a comic compound from the verb
bombe/w (
beta 372,
beta 373,
beta 374) and the noun
aulos ("pipe":
alpha 4447).
The headword seems to have a metathesis of
-aul- (pronounced
-avl-) to
-alv- (spelled
-alb-).
