Same or similar entry in other lexica. Aorist infinitives. The headword one -- which can also be accented
gru=cai -- is presumably quoted from somewhere; if so, extant possibilities include
Isaeus (8.27),
Herodas and
Philostratus; note, however, that Latte on
Photius s.v. cites instances of other forms of this verb in the
Septuagint (
Exodus 11.7,
Joshua 10.21).
The verb
gru/zw (already at
gamma 462), especially common in comedy, literally means 'to make a sound like
gru' (
gamma 461).
cf. also
gamma 464.
