Headword:
Kullos
Adler number: kappa,2671
Translated headword: gimpy
Vetting Status: high
Translation: [Meaning] someone disabled not only in the foot, but also in the hand as well. 'Lame' also applies to both foot and hand.[1]
But some read 'of Gimpy' [
*ku/llou] as [an error for?] 'of Kyknos' [
*ku/knou].[2]
They used to deploy 'gimpy' in the case of the foot, as does the Poet: "get up, Gimpy-foot,"[3] but 'lame' in the case of the hand, as does
Eupolis: "you do not say that he is lame in one of his hands."[4]
Or, since [expressions like] 'with a white foot' or 'with a light foot' are popular with them, having put down 'foot' he added the 'gimpy'.
Aristophanes in
Birds [sc. does this].[5]
