[1] Neuter singular of this adjective (for which cf.
kappa 2309,
kappa 2310), taken to be quoted from
Homer: see below, and next note. Same or similar glossing in other lexica (see the references in
Photius kappa1335 Theodoridis) and cf. the D
scholia to
Homer,
Iliad 11.390 (quoted later in the entry).
[2]
Homer,
Iliad 11.390 (web address 1) with scholion A (Aristonicus). The scholiast assumes that "deaf" is the basic meaning of
kwfo/s. LSJ indicate that the basic meaning is "blunt, dull"; the meaning is transferred to deafness, dumbness, and lack of intelligence.
