Headword: *)hgale/h
Adler number: eta,31
Translated headword: êgaleê
Vetting Status: high
Translation:
To do with care/service(?).
Greek Original:
*)hgale/h: h( qerapeutikh/.
Notes:
An Ambrosian entry: according to Adler, identically in Ambrosianus 35 (though Laurentianus f187 has qerapnh/ 'woman servant', which could be a faulty transcription of the gloss qerapeutikh/).
The entry as it stands is problematic. The headword is an adjective which occurs in the feminine form in a fragment ascribed to Callimachus, in reference to a pitcher; probably with the meaning 'broken in pieces' (so LSJ s.v.). It seems to be attested in the masculine or neuter form in Hesychius eta27: kolobo/n. kateago/s. koi=lon. eu)/qlaston; 'truncated, broken in pieces, hollow, easily bruised'. Since these meanings are difficult to combine with the present gloss qerapeutikh/, the interpretation of ps.-Zonaras eta973.12 may be preferable: h)galle/h, from a)ga/llw 'I pay honour' (cf. eta 30).
Keywords: definition; dialects, grammar, and etymology; poetry
