Notes:
[1] From the scholia to Homer, Iliad 4.230, where a version of this neuter accusative plural headword (gui=a rather than gu=a) occurs. Similar material in other lexica, including Apollonius' Homeric Lexicon.
[2] Greek Anthology 6.71.9-10 (Paul the Silentiary), the poet's love interest is ever unreceptive. For the adjective cf. under alpha 1444.
Keywords: definition; dialects, grammar, and etymology; ethics; gender and sexuality; medicine; poetry; women
