[Meaning] to berate.
*ke/nsai: e)piplh=cai.
The headword is quoted from
Homer,
Iliad 23.337. Verb form (from
kente/w:
kappa 1336) frequently glossed, including
Hesychius kappa2222, the
Lexicon Artis Grammaticae, the
Etymologicum Magnum, and the Homeric
scholia ad loc. The Suda's gloss is unique, however, and apparently arises from confusion over the D scholion on the Homeric passage, "to spur on, shouting" (
ke/nsai o(moklh/sas): "strike (
plh=con) with a spur, and berating (
e)piplh/cas) with voice". The Suda has used the gloss of "shouting" instead of the gloss of "spur on".
