*(rw=sqai: spouda/zein.
The headword is a middle/passive infinitive apparently from the verb
r(w/nnumi "I strengthen" (cf.
rho 252,
rho 263,
rho 266) or perhaps from
r(w/omai "I move with speed." This form is attested only in lexicography (
Hesychius rho588,
Photius rho213 Theodorides). An infinitive
r(w/esqai, presumably from
r(w/omai, is also found in
Hesychius (rho560), with the gloss
speu/dein, o(rma=n "to hurry, to rush." It is possible that
r(w/nnumi and
r(w/omai are etymologically related.
[1] The gloss is the present active infinitive of the verb
spouda/zw,
I make haste, I do (something) eagerly; see generally LSJ s.v. The same gloss is found in
Hesychius and
Photius.
