*stenole/sxhs
Adler number: sigma,1039
Translated headword: quibbler
Vetting Status: high
Translation: [Meaning a] subtle talker. Also [sc. attested us] stenolesxi/a ["quibbling"], [meaning] the same.
Greek Original:*stenole/sxhs: leptolo/gos. kai\ *stenolesxi/a, to\ au)to/.
Notes:
Similarly in other lexica; references at
Photius sigma526, where Theodoridis notes instances of
stenolesxi/a in Cyril of Alexandria.
To describe 'quibbler' and 'quibbling' as 'the same' results from a rather clumsy amalgamation of these two elements.
cf.
sigma 1038.
