Adler number: epsilon,4025
Translated headword: hates, causes hatred
Vetting Status: high
Translation:
[Used] with a dative.[1] [Meaning he/she/it] makes [someone/something] hateful.
Also [sc. attested is] e)xqreu=sai ["to be at enmity"], [meaning] to become enemies. They say that an eagle and a dung-beetle became enemies because each of them broke the other's eggs.[2]
Greek Original:
Echthrainei: dotikêi. echthron poiei. kai Echthreusai, echthrous genesthai. echthreusai phasin aieton kai kantharon ek tou hekateron autôn thaterou ta ôia diaspan.
Notes:
The headword is third person singular, present indicative active, of e)xqrai/nw. It must be quoted from somewhere; extant possibilities are all post-classical.
[1] Comparably in syntactical lexica.
[2] From a scholion on Aristophanes, Peace 129, where Aesop's fable on the dung-beetle is mentioned (and this aorist infinitive of e)xqreu/w -- not the headword verb -- occurs).
