The headword is a feminine adjective in the nominative (and vocative) singular; see LSJ s.v. It is an epithet of
xqw/n (
the earth) in the epic form
poulubo/teira, as in
Homer,
Iliad 3.89 with scholion (web address 1), where it appears in the dative singular; cf. Cunliffe s.v., p. 341. (The present form is unattested outside lexicography.)
[1] The headword is identically glossed in
Photius'
Lexicon (pi1033 Theodoridis),
Lexica Segueriana 345.16, and
Synagoge pi531; cf.
Hesychius (and
pi 1944).
