Headword:
*fh/ginos
Adler number: phi,258
Translated headword: beech-wood
Vetting Status: high
Translation: [Meaning of] oak-wood.
In the Epigrams: "beech-wood mixing bowl."[1]
Greek Original:*fh/ginos: dru/i+nos. e)n *)epigra/mmasi: fhgi/neon krath=ra.
Notes:
The translation here seeks to differentiate, in English, the headword adjective (quoted from
Homer,
Iliad 5.838, with the gloss of the
scholia there) from the glossing one, since beech is Latin
fagus; note however that in Greek a
fhgo/s is a particular type of oak. See also
phi 260.
