Headword:
*)orqrogo/h
Adler number: omicron,587
Translated headword: early-wailer
Vetting Status: high
Translation: [Descriptive of] a swallow.[1]
Also attested is orthrolalos ["early-chattering"].[2] "The weaver's shuttles, with the early-chattering swallows, voice-like."[3]
Greek Original:*)orqrogo/h: xelidw/n. le/getai kai\ o)rqro/lalos. kerki/das o)rqrola/loisi xelido/sin ei)kelofw/nous.
Notes:
The headword is a feminine noun in the nominative (and vocative) singular; see LSJ s.v. It occurs in some texts with the variant spelling
o)rqogo/h, but this is the authentic version. From Hesiod,
Works and Days 568 (web address 1); see the
scholia there.
[1] The gloss is the same grammatical form as the headword. Identical glossing -- albeit of
o)rqogo/h: see above -- in the
Synagoge,
Photius'
Lexicon (omicron469 Theodoridis),
Lexica Segueriana 320.11,
Etymologicum Gudianum 433.38, and
Hesychius omicron1189; cf.
Etymologicum Magnum 631.4 (Kallierges).
[2] This adjective, another epithet of the swallow, is evidently prompted by the quotation given (its only attestation), where it appears in the feminine dative plural. [In her critical apparatus Adler notes that ms A has
o)rqo/lalos.]
