Headword:

Adler number: mu,1374

Vetting Status: high
Translation: [Meaning] to be moist; to be wet-through and [sc. thus] to rot.[1]
Of the second conjugation of the contracted [verbs]. It also means to swell and to be inflated and to tumesce. Graves, therefore, swell with corpses in accordance with what is inside.[2]

Notes:
[1] Likewise in
Photius mu570 Theodoridis. The longer glossing phrase is also, earlier, in
Timaeus'
Platonic Lexicon 996a5, s.v.
muda=|n (though no form of the word occurs in the extant texts of
Plato). See also
mu 1375,
mu 1377.
[2] This part of the entry is also found in
Etymologicum Magnum 593.19-28 -- drawn ultimately from commentary to Apollonius Rhodius,
Argonautica 4.1531, where a participle of the headword's verb appears (cf. ps.-
Zonaras s.v.
mudale/os). The comment on graves is appropriate to that context.
