Headword: *xno/as
Adler number: chi,359
Translated headword: naves, hubs
Vetting Status: high
Translation:
[Meaning] the spokes of the wheel. A spoke is the part that is affixed to the hole of a wheel; and the hole of the wheel itself is so called [i.e. xno/h, "nave"]. It is pronounced with recessive accent; for disyllabic [nouns] ending in the vowel eta after omicron -- of those that begin with an aspirate -- are given a recessive accent: [e.g.] xno/h ["nave"], fqo/h ["decay"], xlo/h ["sprout"].[1] But the [word] pnoh/ ["breath"] does not have aspiration.[2]

Notes:
The body of this entry is taken from the scholia to Sophocles, Electra 716 (web address 1), where the headword (the accusative plural of xno/h) appears. See also Herodian the Grammarian 3.1.305.22.
[1] That is, all of these words are accented on omicron, in the first syllable.
[2] And accordingly, its accent is on the last syllable, the eta.
