Greek display:    
Headword: *suw/deis
Adler number: sigma,1656
Translated headword: swinish
Vetting Status: high
Translation:
From one calling to the pigs.
Greek Original:
*suw/deis: a)po\ tou= toi=s u(si\n e)pifwnoume/nous.
Note:
The headword is nominative/accusative plural of the adjective suw/dhs. It is here etymologized as if related to a)/|dw "sing", but the glossing has been corrupted in transmission (by the addition of a sigma to the end of the participle) into something ungrammatical and untranslatable. (The translation given here is that of the correct version, under sigma 1661.)
Keywords: definition; dialects, grammar, and etymology; imagery; zoology
