Adler number: kappa,1089
Translated headword: be quite eager, to press ahead
Vetting Status: high
Translation:
[Meaning] to be of surpassing vigour.
Greek Original:
*katorga=n: u(perakma/zein.
Notes:
Same entry in Hesychius kappa1845 and Photius, Lexicon kappa486 Theodoridis.
The headword verb itself, a strengthened version of o)rga=n (omicron 519, omicron 520), is extremely rare (LSJ entry at web address 1). TLG shows it as appearing in Herodotus 6.102 (web address 2), but katorgw=ntes there is merely one of several suggested emendations for the transmitted katerga/zontes.
