[Meaning] the point of the ear.[1]

But properly [it means] the bottom part of the ears. Also the pod of a chickpea or fava bean. And in diviners' lore [it is] a certain sign in the liver.[4] From this [comes] lw/bh ["mutilation"], [meaning] the penalty of [cutting off] the ears, [spelled] with an omega.[5]
Also [sc. attested is] lwbo/s ['one who has been mutilated'], [meaning] the one who has been harmed.
