Headword: *(uph/nh
Adler number: upsilon,428
Translated headword: upper-lip hair, mustache
Vetting Status: high
Translation:
[The term arises] from being below, or going [below]. But the [syllable] ph[2] [is] because of the eta, from the future h(/sw ["I will send"], from i(/hmi ["I send"].[1] Or [the word is formed] like ei)rh/nh ["peace"], galh/nh ["calm"].
Greek Original:
*(uph/nh: para\ to\ u(poka/tw ei)=nai, h)\ i)e/nai. to\ de\ ph dia\ tou= h, para\ to\n h(/sw me/llonta, a)po\ tou= i(/hmi. h)\ w(s ei)rh/nh, galh/nh.
Notes:
For the headword, see also upsilon 427.
