Headword:
*kou/qouron
Adler number: kappa,2176
Translated headword: dock-tailed
Vetting Status: high
Translation: [i.e.] kountouros. Drones, too, are called kouthouroi, from concealing [keuthein] their own rear [oura]. Or because [they are] stingless.
Greek Original:*kou/qouron: to\n kou/ntouron. ei)/rhntai de\ kai\ oi( khfh=nes kou/qouroi, para\ to\ keu/qein th\n e(autw=n ou)ra/n. h)\ o(/ti a)/kentroi.
Notes:
The headword and the gloss -- the latter being a variant of the former -- are masculine accusative singulars. The headword is evidently quoted from somewhere, but is otherwise unattested, either in this spelling (
kouthouros) or as
kothouros.
