Headword: *fulokrinei=
Adler number: phi,840
Translated headword: categorizes, classifies, pigeonholes
Vetting Status: high
Translation:
[Meaning he/she/it] differentiates, needlessly subjects [something or someone] to adverse scrutiny.[1]
Greek Original:
*fulokrinei=: diakri/nei, katadokima/zei perie/rgws.
Notes:
Same or similar entry in other lexica; references at Photius phi339 Theodoridis. The headword is evidently quoted from somewhere.
For a well-known instance of this verb see ?Aristotle, Athenaion Politeia 21.2, on the reforms of Kleisthenes in Athens; it bears there the precise (original?) sense of 'categorize by tribe'. For the looser sense see also (e.g.) Thucydides 6.18.2.
[1] This second glossing verb, katadokima/zw, is overlooked by LSJ.
Keywords: definition; dialects, grammar, and etymology; ethics; historiography; history
