For this headword see also
kappa 2434,
kappa 2436,
kappa 2437,
kappa 2438. The present entry closely resembles one in
Etymologicum Gudianum 347; see further in notes 1 and 2 below.
[1] An attempt to etymologize the headword
kri/os, as from
ka/ra (head) and
i(e/menos (rushing). The
Et.Gud. has
ke/rati in place of
ka/ra.
[2] Perhaps a quotation (unidentifiable), or perhaps an alternative etymology, as from
kru/ptwn (hiding) and
o)pi/sw (backwards). The elision
h)/laun' o)pi/sw suggests the former (though the result is not demonstrably metrical), yet the
Et.Gud. reads
h)/launen in place of the elided
h)/laun'.
[3] This sense of the headword, attested only here, is not registered in LSJ s.v.
