[Meaning her] being with child.[1] Also [sc. attested is the phrase?] pregnant woman.[2]
*)egku/monos: e)gku/ou ou)/shs. kai\ *)/egkuos gunh/.
[1] The headword
e)gku/monos is genitive singular -- evidently quoted from somewhere -- of the adjective
e)gku/mwn "pregnant". In the phrase which glosses it
e)gku/ou (genitive of the quoted nominative
e)/gkuos, on which see next note) is from the same root and also means "pregnant" or "with child". Compare
pi 1405 for a quotation from
Josephus,
Jewish War 3.245-7 (web address 1). It is perhaps the source of the form
e)gku/monos in the present entry, though there are numerous other possibilities.
[2] If this two-word phrase is a verbatim quotation, its source is indeterminable. But it may not be: compare
Hesychius epsilon272, where the lemma is the adjective alone, glossed with
gunh\ e)ggastrwme/nh.
