Notes:
[1] It is possible that
xeirw=n here refers to the entire arm, or that the 'forearms of the hands' are the fingers. In any event, the gloss elucidates one word for forearm,
w)le/nh, with another,
ph=xus. See LSJ entry at web address 1.
[2] An Homeric epithet (e.g. of Hera in
Iliad 1.55): see LSJ s.v. (web address 2). Here feminine nominative plural, not independently attested.
[3] Quotation unidentifiable.
[4] cf.
