[Meaning] that which is woven.
A woven basket.[1] As from the [verb] ble/pw ["I see"] [comes] ble/pos ["a look"], a neuter [noun], and from the [verb] r(e/w ["I flow"] [comes] r(e/os ["a flow"].[2] Aeschylus [writes]: "for the thirsting traveler there is a spring-water flow."[3] So also ple/kos. Aristophanes [writes]: "I spit on this most hateful wickerwork of a hostile man."[4] And elsewhere: "why, you wretch, do you have need of this wickerwork?"[5]
