Headword: *ni/des
Adler number: nu,370
Translated headword: nides
Vetting Status: high
Translation:
[Meaning] genitals, or the little testicles of young boys. Sicilians [sc. use this word].
Greek Original:
*ni/des: ai)doi=a, h)\ o)rxi/dia paidi/wn. *sikeloi/.
Note:
Same entry in Photius (nu218 Theodoridis, where the editor does not punctuate after 'boys'), briefer one already in Hesychius (nu563); and see Glossarium Italioticum 243 Kassel-Austin. The headword -- here in the nominative plural, presumably quoted from somewhere -- is unattested outside lexicography.
