*)hle/ktwr
Adler number: eta,201
Translated headword: beaming
Vetting Status: high
Translation: The sun.[1]
The sun is a star shining during daytime.[2]
The word is h)le/ktwr because it is never-ceasing [a)/lhktos] and never-tiring. However, the basic meaning is "wholly spherical". Some derive it from the brightness of amber [elektron]; or because it awakes us from sleep, [they derive it] from a)le/ktwr ["rooster"]. For this creature [is] multiply-salacious, since it awakes us from our beds [lektra]. "When early-born, rosy-fingered dawn appeared, [Telemachos] rose from his bed."[3]

Notes:
[1] An Homeric gloss -- cf. the
scholia to
Homer,
Iliad 6.513, where the headword appears -- from the
Synagoge (cf. e.g.
Photius s.v.,
Etymologicum Magnum 425.31, Apollonius Sophistes,
Homeric Lexicon 83.20). Elsewhere this word is used to denote fire (
Empedocles 22.2).
