Headword:
*)aa/sai
Adler number: alpha,8
Translated headword: to harm, to infatuate
Vetting Status: high
Translation: has four meanings: to satisfy,[1] to go to sleep,[2] to harm, to cause pain.
Greek Original:*)aa/sai te/ssara shmai/nei: kore/sai, kaqupnw=sai, bla/yai, luph=sai.
Notes:
The headword is aorist active infinitive, glossed with four others. The entry =
Photius,
Lexicon alpha9 Theodoridis, and similar material can be found in
Synagoge (Codex B) alpha4 (
Lexica Segueriana 3.5-7). Compare also
Etymologicum Gudianum 1.8. This particular form is unattested outside lexicography, though it appears as an entry in Apollonius Sophistes,
Homeric Lexicon 2.5, and is presumably related to such Homeric forms as we find at
alpha 7.
[1] This meaning is unattested for the verb
a)a/w (LSJ entry at web address 1).
[2] In that one loses consciousness and control in sleep, as in
Homer Odyssey 10.68 (web address 2).

Headword:
*)aba/khsan
Adler number: alpha,11
Translated headword: they kept quiet
Vetting Status: high
Translation: [Meaning] they were unaware, they did not understand.
Greek Original:*)aba/khsan: h)gno/hsan, h)sune/thsan.
Note:
The headword is the third person plural, aorist indicative active, of
a)bake/w. This form is found only in
Homer,
Odyssey 4.249 (web address 1), and the many lexicographical notices generated by it. Of those the most similar to this entry are
Photius,
Lexicon alpha22 Theodoridis, and
Etymologicum Magnum 2.30-31. Compare also Apollonius Sophistes,
Homeric Lexicon 2.16;
Hesychius alpha54. The glosses offered here and elsewhere probably represent semantic extrapolation from the Homeric context: When Odysseus comes in disguise to
Troy, Helen knows who he is but the rest of the people in
Troy a)ba/khsan. The translation of the headword, on the other hand, reflects the verb's probable etymological connection with the verb
ba/zw 'speak', and the adjective
a)bakh/s ('speechless', 'tranquil'). Cf. Chantraine s.v.
a)bakh/s, a connection that is sometimes mentioned as a possibility in the ancient scholarship.

Headword:
*)abe/bhla
Adler number: alpha,29
Translated headword: inviolable [places]
Vetting Status: high
Translation: [Meaning] places that must not be walked on, holy and sacred places. For be/bhla meant what is not holy or sacred, where anyone may walk.
Also [sc. attested is] be/bhloi, [meaning] those who do not have a share in sacred things.[1]
Also [sc. attested is the phrase] lo/goi a)be/bhloi, [meaning] words that may not be spoken.[2]
Also [sc. attested is] a)be/bhlos, [meaning someone or something masculine] pure.[3]
Greek Original:*)abe/bhla: ta\ mh\ ba/sima xwri/a, i(era\ de\ kai\ o(/sia. be/bhla ga\r e)le/geto ta\ mh\ o(/sia mhde\ i(era\, panti\ de\ ba/sima. kai\ *be/bhloi, oi( mh\ kekoinwnhko/tes i(erw=n. kai\ *lo/goi a)be/bhloi, oi( a)po/rrhtoi. kai\ *)abe/bhlos, o( kaqaro/s.
Notes:
The closest parallel to the entry as a whole is
Photius,
Lexicon alpha34 Theodoridis. Various parts of it appear in other lexica, as noted below.
[1] This part is a paraphrase of what appears in
Photius; cf.
beta 218.
[2] This part of the entry is not paralleled in other lexica.
[3] This appears as the first gloss in
Photius and constitutes the entire entry at
Synagoge alpha6; cf.
Hesychius alpha101, with neuter/accusative equivalents. Cyril of Alexandria uses the headword frequently in conjunction with
kaqaro/s.
