*di/ous is apparently interpreted as another ethnic name, although in
Homer it is an epithet ("glorious") of the Pelasgians. For the adverb
ou)damou= "nowhere," manuscript F has
ou)damw=s "not at all" (reading preferred by Gottfried Hermann); Bernhardy suggested
ou)damh= ma\ *di/a "not at all glorious by Zeus!"
