*kighlo/s
Adler number: kappa,1579
Translated headword: kigelos

Translation: [Meaning] a beggar. From a certain sea-bird so called. It is a weak animal, so that it does not even make its own dwelling-place, but gives birth in those of others. And it moves the feathers of its tail.
Greek Original:*kighlo/s: o( ptwxo/s. a)po\ o)rne/ou tino\s qalassi/ou ou(/tw kaloume/nou. e)/sti de\ zw=|on a)sqene/s, w(/ste mhde\ i)di/an kalia\n poiei=n, e)n tai=s e(te/rwn de\ ti/ktein. kinei= de\ kai\ ta\ ou)rai=a ptera/.
Note:
cf.
Aelian,
History of animals 12.9 (about the
ki/gklos; cf.
kappa 1585, and see also
kappa 1580). The headword, attested only here, could have originated as a misreading of
ki/gklos.
Aelian says that country people's proverbs call beggars
ki/gkloi.
