Search results for sigma,939 in Adler number:
Greek display:    

Headword: *sph/lugc
Adler number: sigma,939
Translated headword: cave
Vetting Status: high
Translation:
Caves,[1] fissures.[2]
Greek Original:
*sph/lugc: sph/luggas, r(aga/s.
Notes:
Adler reports that in mss GVM this is not a new entry, but part of sigma 938. In any event there is a disparity, as transmitted, between the headword (nominative singular, as sigma 938) and the two "glosses". See further, next note.
[1] Accusative plural of the headword, apparently; Bernhardy suggested the genitive singular sph/luggos "fissure of a cave", and Kuster agreed. Gaisford compared pi 1506.
[2] This and its variant r(wga/s are nouns related to the verb r(h/gnumi; cf. rho 242.
Keywords: definition; dialects, grammar, and etymology; geography; science and technology
