Notes:
The headword (which must be quoted from somewhere) is masculine accusative singular or neuter nominative/accusative singular of this adjective (for which cf. lambda 846, lambda 847).
[1] Likewise or similarly in other lexica (and some Euripidean scholia): see the references at Photius lambda470 Theodoridis.
[2] *lupro/gaios is a variant of lupro/gews; cf. next note.
[3] An approximation of Appian, Iberica 250 (where lupro/gewn is the form used); Lucullus is speaking.
