The headword is a masculine noun in the accusative singular; see LSJ s.v.
o(/rmos, -ou, o(. It is taken to be extracted from
Homer,
Iliad 1.435 (web address 1); cf. the
scholia there, glossing
ei)s o(/rmon (
into an anchorage) with
ei)s to\n lime/na (
into the harbor). On this sense of the headword see generally LSJ s.v., II.
[1] The gloss is the masculine accusative singular form of the noun
limh/n,
harbor, haven, creek; see LSJ s.v. The headword is identically glossed in
Photius'
Lexicon (omicron496 Theodoridis) and at
Lexica Segueriana 320.26; cf.
Hesychius omicron1260, and
Etymologicum Magnum 631.30 (Kallierges). John
Philoponus,
De vocabulis quae diversum significatum exhibent secundum differentiam accentus s.v.
o(/rmos interprets the present paroxytone (accent on the penult; Smyth, 157) form of the headword as meaning
limh/n (
harbor) and gives an oxytone (accent on the ultima, ibid.) form,
o(rmo/s (
necklace); cf.
omicron 604. Adler also cites the
Lexicon de Spiritu, L.C. Valckenaer, ed.
[2]
Aelian fr. 79 Hercher (fr. 82 Domingo-Forasté, p. 67), which includes not the headword itself but a noun similar in meaning:
o(/rmisis. In her critical apparatus, Adler notes that mss. GFS and, before correction, mss AM transmit
o(/rmhsin, the accusative singular form of the feminine noun
o(/rmhsis, -ews, h( (thus,
in their rapid motion); see LSJ s.v. Literally,
o(/rmisis, -ews, h(, which occurs here in the accusative singular, means
bringing a ship to anchor; see LSJ s.v. In the present sense, though, it is evidently metaphorical and means
dying, as LSJ observes s.v.
o(rmi/zw, II.2 (
I bring to safe anchorage; cf.
omicron 603), with reference in particular to the quoted
Aelian fragment.
