Note:
Homeric form (e.g. Homer, Iliad 9.661). The gloss is particular to the Suda; Apollonius' Homeric Lexicon and Hesychius gloss it with the diminutive kw/dion, and although the form frequently features in grammatical discussion, its meaning is assumed. Contrasted with na/kos "goatskin" in nu 21.
