*pare/sfhle: paremfai/netai, e)sfa/lh, a)perru/h.
The headword is the aorist indicative active, third person singular, of the verb
parasfa/llw; cf.
Lexica Segueriana 332.24, and see generally LSJ s.v. The headword is quoted from
Homer,
Iliad 8.311 (web address 1), where Apollo deflects Teucer's arrow. As warranted by meter, in this verse
Homer writes
pare/sfhlen, so that the final epsilon is long by position (Smyth, 135, 144). Retaining the poet's movable nu, the headword is similarly glossed in
Hesychius and
Photius.
[1] The first of these (odd) glosses -- paralleled in other lexica, and in the
scholia to
Homer loc.cit. -- is present indicative middle/passive, third person singular, of the compound verb
paremfai/nw; see LSJ s.v. The second gloss is aorist indicative passive, third person singular, of the verb
sfa/llw; see LSJ s.v. The third gloss is aorist indicative passive, third person singular, of the verb
a)porre/w (see LSJ s.v.), compounding
a)po/ and
r(e/w,
I stream away from.
