Headword: Triglis
Adler number: tau,962
Translated headword: mullet
Vetting Status: high
Translation:
A kind of fish. It declines trigli/dos [in the genitive].
The rule. The dissyllabic [nouns] which end in -is and have an unchanging [syllable] before the -is are oxytone if they decline via d -- like smaris, triglis -- but barytone if [they do so] via t.[1]
In the Epigrams: "a mullet from the charcoal and a wrasse, Artemis of the harbour, I give to you".[2]
Greek Original:
Triglis: eidos ichthuos. klinetai triglidos. ho kanôn. ta gar eis is disullaba, echonta pro tou is ametabolon, ean klinôntai dia tou d, oxunontai: hoion smaris, triglis: ei de dia tou t, barunontai. en Epigrammasi: triglan ap' anthrakiês kai phukida soi limenêtin, Artemi, dôreumai.
Notes:
[1] cf. Etymologicum Magnum 806.51-54. The smaris is also a sea fish: see LSJ s.v.
