Greek display:    

Headword: *qhla/zein
Adler number: theta,331
Translated headword: to suckle
Vetting Status: high
Translation:
We take the word in the active [sense], in reference to children who are suckling, but Lysias uses [it] in the passive [sense] in reference to a woman producing milk.[1]
Greek Original:
*qhla/zein: e)nerghtikw=s h(mei=s a)ntilambano/meqa tou= r(h/matos, e)pi\ tw=n paidi/wn tw=n qhlazo/ntwn, *lusi/as de\ paqhtikw=s ke/xrhtai e)pi\ gunaiko\s parexou/shs ga/la.
Notes:
Same entry in ps.-Zonaras (1044).
Both usages are well attested, and the grammarians differ on which is normal. See, for instance Pollux 2.163; the Anti-atticist s.v. qhla/zei (Lexica Segueriana 99.13); scholion to Lucian, The Soloecist 4; and Photius, Lexicon theta156.
[1] Lysias 1.9 (web address 1), needlessly queried by Adler: the form used is not the infinitive (as is the headword), but the imperfect indicative active third-person singular e)qh/lazen.
