Headword: *lh/mata
Adler number: lambda,443
Translated headword: resolutions
Vetting Status: high
Translation:
[Meaning] prophecies. Also a term for apophthegms [coming] from one's own heart.
Greek Original:
*lh/mata: profhtei=ai. le/getai de\ kai\ ta\ e)c oi)kei/as kardi/as a)pofqe/gmata.
Notes:
Same entry elsewhere: see the references at Photius lambda265 Theodoridis. The neuter plural headword should be lh/mmata "premisses, sayings". (On this difference of spelling cf. Alexander of Aphrodisias, under lambda 441.)
The "prophecy" meaning is LSJ s.v. lh=mma IV, "burden or commission of prophecy", exemplified by several passages in the Septuagint; and as Theodoridis notes, the lexicographers' plural is likely to be quoted from Lamentations 2:14.
Keywords: definition; dialects, grammar, and etymology; religion; rhetoric
