Notes:
[1] Likewise or similarly in other lexica. The headword is masculine accusative singular or neuter nominative/accusative singular of this adjective (for which cf.
psi 105,
psi 106); masculine if, as it seems, it is extracted from
Sophocles,
Electra 426 (where a corpse is described as 'bare' and the
scholia comment
gumno\n th=s ko/news).
[2] So too already in
Hesychius.
