[Meaning] delicate.
*xlidano/n: trufero/n.
Likewise already in
Hesychius (chi515) and again in later lexica, e.g.
Etymologicum Magnum 812.34. The headword -- nominative/accusative neuter singular or masculine accusative singular of the adjective
xlidano/s (cognate with
chi 340, q.v.) -- must be quoted from somewhere but is not independently attested.
On the adjective itself, with early instances in lyric poetry (
Sappho fr.60 Lobel-Page) and tragedy (
Aeschylus,
Persae 544), see generally LSJ s.v.
