[Meaning] she who/that which removes pains.
*)odunh/fatos: h( ta\s o)du/nas a)fani/zousa.
Likewise or similarly in other lexica (references at
Photius omicron45 Theodoridis), including Apollonius'
Homeric Lexicon, and cf. also a scholion on
Homer,
Iliad 5.401 (where the neuter plural occurs). The present headword itself is apparently quoted from a context where it is feminine -- probably
Homer,
Iliad 11.846-7 (of a root, feminine accusative singular).
The scholiast perhaps thinks that the second element of the compound is related to
fai/nw "I reveal"; LSJ connect it rather with
qei/nw "I kill".
cf.
omicron 56,
omicron 57.
