*prh/ssousa: diaperw=sa.
The headword is the epic/Ionic present active participle, feminine nominative (and vocative) singular, of the verb
pra/ssw/
pra/ttw,
I perform, practice, achieve, accomplish; see generally LSJ s.v.
The entry seems to have been generated from
Homer,
Iliad 1.483 (web address 1), for the
scholia to which, see next note. The Homeric text uses the compound
diaprh/ssousa (
passing over, making way) to describe the Achaean ship making its way back to the Greek camp from the island of
Tenedos, after Odysseus has delivered Chryseis to her father.
[1] The gloss is the same form as the headword, but from the contract verb
diapera/w,
I go over, traverse; see generally LSJ s.v. A scholion to the aforementioned Homeric passage provides the same gloss. The lemma is transmitted as
prh/sousa by ps.-
Zonaras 1586.4 and by
Lexicon Ambrosianum 1342 and ms V (so Adler), but the gloss is identical.
