Headword: *dra=|
Adler number: delta,1488
Translated headword: acts
Vetting Status: high
Translation:
[Meaning he/she/it] does.[1]
Or will furnish.[2]
Greek Original:
*dra=|: poiei=. h)\ poriei=.
Notes:
The headword can be either present indicative or present subjunctive active (third person singular) of the verb dra/w. The two glosses offered here represent both of these possibilites. On the range of meaning of dra/w see LSJ at web address 1, and for another form of the same verb see delta 1489.
[1] = Synagoge delta358, Photius delta737; probably from commentary to Aristophanes, Knights 102, where the headword appears as a present indicative.
[2] Probably from commentary to Aristophanes, Knights 1019, where the headword appears as a present subjunctive in a conditional construction referring to the future (which explains why the gloss is in the future tense). 'Furnish' is not a common meaning of dra/w, but again, the context clarifies: in the Aristophanes passage the general action term dra/w stands in for the more specific action of 'furnishing', which is expressed in the same line by the very word used here as a gloss, poriei= ('will furnish').
