[1] (Likewise or similarly in other lexica.) The context determines whether the overtones are favourable or unfavourable. See generally LSJ s.v.
[2] Cognate with the verb whose present participle has just been glossed, and therefore with a regular meaning "wit" (see LSJ s.v.); but here the glossator is thinking along different lines; cf. generally alpha 4225, alpha 4234, alpha 4235, alpha 4241, alpha 4246, eta 603.
