Adler number: pi,1717

Vetting Status: high

Greek Original:*ple/a: plh/rh, peplhrwme/nh. tau/thn me\n a)/n tis eu)qu\s h(sqei/h labw/n. peri\ ku/liko/s fhsin: e)peidh\ mega/lh h)=n kai\ ple/a.
Notes:
[1] The headword could be neuter nominative/accusative plural, but the second gloss indicates that it is feminine nominative singular of the adjective
ple/ws; for the glossing cf. generally
pi 1730. First gloss only in the
Synagoge and
Photius (pi924 Theodoridis); second gloss only in (e.g.) the
scholia to (?)
Aeschylus,
Prometheus Bound 696. Synchronically speaking,
ple/ws "full" and
polu/s "more" are different words, although their forms can overlap (see
pi 1718) and they come ultimately from the same Indo-European root.
