Vetting Status: high
Translation: [Meaning something] unshattered,[1] strong.
Greek Original:Aages: athrauston, ischuron.

Lexicon Homericum 2.4. Likewise in
Hesychius alpha7;
Photius,
Lexicon alpha4 Theodoridis;
Etymologicum Gudianum 1.12. This form of the adjective is the neuter nominative singular, as at
Homer,
Odyssey 11.575 (web address 1).
All but the last word of this entry is absent from ms M (=
Marcianus 448), as are the last several words of
alpha 1 (a and b).

Headword:
Aaptos
Adler number: alpha,5
Translated headword: irresistable, invulnerable
Vetting Status: high
Translation: [Meaning someone/something] unharmed.
Herodianus[1] says about
a)/aptos that it comes from
i)a/ptw ['I harm'], and after adding alpha-privative and dropping the 'i' [it becomes]
a)/aptos, "whom no one can harm." Or perhaps the 'a' is not to be taken as negative but as intensifying, so it would be "one who has great power to harm." Thus the first has a passive sense, the second an active. With the negative prefix it also means "one who is untouched."[2]
Greek Original:Aaptos: ablabês. Hêrôdianos phêsi peri tou aaptos, hoti gignetai apo tou iaptô to blaptô, kai meta tou sterêtikou a kai kat' elleipsin tou i aaptos, hon oudeis dunatai blapsai. ê ouchi kata sterêsin eklêpteon to a, alla kat' epitasin, hin' êi ho megala dunamenos blaptein. hôste to men prôton dêloi pathos, to de deuteron energeian. legetai de kai aaptos kata sterêsin ho apsaustos.
Notes:
This form of the headword, the nominative singular masculine/feminine, is unattested outside lexicography; however, plural forms occur frequently in hexameter poetry, in the formula
xei=res a)/aptoi or
xei=ras a)a/ptous (usually interpreted as 'irresistable hands'); e.g.
Homer,
Iliad 8.450 (web address 1).
[1] The etymological comments that follow occur only in mss G (= Parisinus 2623) and T (= Vaticanus 881); cf.
Herodianus 3.2.30.
[2] This etymology, alpha-privative +
a(/ptomai ('touch'), is the one most commonly accepted nowadays. See LSJ s.v. (web address 2) and Schwyzer,
DGE. Yet there is reason for doubt, and the correct Homeric form (attested already by
Aristophanes of
Byzantium) may actually be
a)ept-. See Chantraine s.v.
a)/aptos.

Headword:
Aaschetos
Adler number: alpha,9
Translated headword: irresistible
Vetting Status: high
Translation: [Something someone/something] uncontrollable.[1]
Greek Original:Aaschetos: akratêtos.
Notes:
A word from epic poetry, e.g.
Homer,
Iliad 5.892 (web address 1), with metrical reduplication of the initial alpha (cf. LSJ s.v.
a)/sxetos at web address 2). The headword and the gloss are both masculine/feminine nominative singular.
[1] A related but not identical word (
a)katakra/thton) is used to gloss the neuter form of the headword at
Etymologicum Magnum 1.32.

Headword:
Abakêsan
Adler number: alpha,11
Translated headword: they kept quiet
Vetting Status: high
Translation: [Meaning] they were unaware, they did not understand.
Greek Original:Abakêsan: êgnoêsan, êsunetêsan.
Note:
The headword is the third person plural, aorist indicative active, of
a)bake/w. This form is found only in
Homer,
Odyssey 4.249 (web address 1), and the many lexicographical notices generated by it. Of those the most similar to this entry are
Photius,
Lexicon alpha22 Theodoridis, and
Etymologicum Magnum 2.30-31. Compare also Apollonius Sophistes,
Homeric Lexicon 2.16;
Hesychius alpha54. The glosses offered here and elsewhere probably represent semantic extrapolation from the Homeric context: When Odysseus comes in disguise to
Troy, Helen knows who he is but the rest of the people in
Troy a)ba/khsan. The translation of the headword, on the other hand, reflects the verb's probable etymological connection with the verb
ba/zw 'speak', and the adjective
a)bakh/s ('speechless', 'tranquil'). Cf. Chantraine s.v.
a)bakh/s, a connection that is sometimes mentioned as a possibility in the ancient scholarship.

Headword:
Abaptos
Adler number: alpha,17
Translated headword: untempered
Vetting Status: high
Translation: [Meaning] most/very unsharpened.[1]
Also [sc. attested is the superlative] a)bapto/tatos.[2]
Greek Original:Abaptos: astomôtatos. kai Abaptotatos.
Notes:
The headword is unattested outside lexicography.
[1] Similar glossing in other lexica (references at
Photius alpha28 Theodoridis), except that the original form of the gloss, in Cyril, seems simply to be
a)sto/mwtos ('unsharpened'), not this superlative of a different but potentially synonymous adjective
a)/stomos. Cyril's reading has been adopted in Latte's text of
Hesychius and Theodoridis' of
Photius.
[2] Only in ms A (= Parisinus 2625). This superlative form of the headword is attested only here.
