Headword: *korh/sate
Adler number: kappa,2082
Translated headword: sweep out
Vetting Status: high
Translation:
[Meaning] take care of.
Greek Original:
*korh/sate: e)pimelh/qhte.
Note:
The headword is aorist imperative, second person plural, of kore/w (kore/w (A) in LSJ), very probably quoted from Homer, Odyssey 20.149: "come, let some of you busily sweep out the hall". The Suda is guessing at its meaning. The Etymologicum Magnum has "sweep, make"; the scholiast ad loc. and Eustathius have "sweep"; Apollonius' Homeric Lexicon has "make pretty".
Keywords: daily life; definition; dialects, grammar, and etymology; epic; ethics
