Headword: *ni/ba
Adler number: nu,363
Translated headword: snow
Vetting Status: high
Translation:
[ni/ba means the same as] xio/na.[1] Called thus also is a spring in Thrace.[2]
Greek Original:
*ni/ba: xio/na. kalei=tai de\ ou(/tws kai\ krh/nh e)n *qra/|kh|.
Notes:
Same entry in Photius (nu214 Theodoridis), similar ones elswhere. The headword in any sense is unattested outside lexicography.
[1] The headword is a dialectal variant of the accusative singular of "snow", evidently quoted from somewhere; cf. nu 436. The word might be Macedonian; see the note at kappa 1446.
[2] This form of words seems to be alluding to one spring in particular; cf. e.g. epsilon 1209.
