Search results for pi,1753 in Adler number:
Greek display:    
Headword: *plhmme/leia
Adler number: pi,1753
Translated headword: error, fault, mistake
Vetting Status: high
Translation:
[no gloss]
Greek Original:
*plhmme/leia.
Notes:
cf. delta 95 (and for the cognate verb pi 1754).
This headword appears in Timaeus' Platonic Lexicon (apparently prompted by Plato, Apology 22D), and again in Photius pi944 Theodoridis, with the etymological/punning gloss pollh\ a)me/leia. Its literal meaning is a false note in music (see LSJ s.v.), but figurative applications are common.
Keywords: dialects, grammar, and etymology; ethics; imagery; meter and music; philosophy
