Notes:
[1] The proparoxytone headword is usually taken as an adverbial form of the adjective, to which the Suda itself attests (see
chi 104). The Suda seems to be saying that the neuter adjective is also proparoxytone. See LSJ s.v. IV at web address 1 below. For
pro\ mia=s in reference to accentuation, see also
nu 62,
chi 619.
