Headword:
*kefalai/w|
Adler number: kappa,1444
Translated headword: crowning; head
Vetting Status: high
Translation: [Meaning] stout/sturdy.[1]
Aristophanes [writes]: "lest in anger he smites your temples with a crowning word and spills out your Telephus." Meaning with a stout/sturdy one.[2] And in
Clouds [he writes]: "nor used it to be allowed, when dining, [to take] the head of a radish or to snatch dill from one's seniors".[3] A 'head' is the stalky part next to the leaves. They used not to cut a radish lengthways, as now, but in rings.
Radish, dill.[4]

Notes:
[1] Dative singular(s), the headword from the first quotation that follows. (It is used there as an adjective, but later in the entry as a substantive.)
[2]
Aristophanes,
Frogs 854-855, with scholion; Dionysus is warning
Euripides about the power of
Aeschylus' vocabulary.
[3]
Aristophanes,
Clouds 981-982; cf.
rho 55.
[4] These are presumably embryonic cross-references.
