Headword:
*sfhkw/deis
Adler number: sigma,1733
Translated headword: waspish, wasp-like
Vetting Status: high
Translation: [Meaning] austere.[1]
Emaciated in their bodies; for wasps have a gathered-in stomach.[2]
And
Aristophanes in
Plutus [writes]: "taking a big sharpened waspy." [Meaning a] sharpened timber; [so called] since a wasp [is] sharp in the hindquarters. The locution has been created from the wasp: for timbers that are small and brought-together into a point they call waspies; since also they refer to men concave in their bodies and not with protruding stomachs as waspish.[3]
Interpretation of a dream: wasps appearing are injuries of enemies.[4]
[Note] that horses [are a] source of wasps, but bulls [are one] of bees.[5]
