Notes:
[1] All except "lie down" are senses of the same word (
le/gw (B) in LSJ). "Lie down" (
le/gw (A)) is a back-formation from
le/comai, e)/lekto, etc., and should have the stem
lex- (
le/xetai is cited by
Hesychius lambda761, and cf.
lo/xos).
[2] The "future imperfect"
le/ceto does not occur, but the imperative
le/ceo does (
Homer,
Iliad 9.617,
Odyssey 19.598). The imperatives
le/co and
le/ceo parallel
o)/rso and
o)/rseo, and would account for the mention of these latter here. For an attempted explanation of these forms, see Roth 60-76.

delta 625, inc. the note there on this citation of '
Thucydides'.
