*kh=r
Adler number: kappa,1530
Translated headword: ker, heart, spirit
Vetting Status: high
Translation: [Meaning] soul; also death-bringing fate. Also [sc. attested is the plural] kh=res, [meaning] death-bringing fates.[1]
i.e. those who bring on burning [kah=nai]. Also in a river of Hades, Pyriphlegethon and Acheron and Kokytos; the first [so called] from burning [fle/gein], the second from pains [a)/xh] flowing [rei=n] into it, and the last from lamentations and dirges [kwkutw=n]. And a dirge [kwkuto/s] is an imitation of a voice of those mourning.[2] They also say that there is a certain Dead river;[3] [it is so called] because it is all dried up and does not even have liba/s, that is moisture. And they also call vinegar "dead", because it is wine that has expired. The spirit [is] a Ker, because it consists of fire. For that which [is] inborn warmth [is] a spirit.[4]
"I am a tomb-haunting Ker, and it was Koroibos who killed me."[5]

Notes:
This entry appears to bring together the neuter singular noun
kh=r and the feminine (upper-case) noun
*Kh=res -- see the adjacent entries in LSJ -- though note that Theodoridis (n.1 below) follows Crusius in printing the primary headword without accent;
khr. See also
kappa 1531.
