Headword:
*)/aaptos
Adler number: alpha,5
Translated headword: irresistable, invulnerable
Vetting Status: high
Translation: [Meaning someone/something] unharmed.
Herodianus[1] says about
a)/aptos that it comes from
i)a/ptw ['I harm'], and after adding alpha-privative and dropping the 'i' [it becomes]
a)/aptos, "whom no one can harm." Or perhaps the 'a' is not to be taken as negative but as intensifying, so it would be "one who has great power to harm." Thus the first has a passive sense, the second an active. With the negative prefix it also means "one who is untouched."[2]
Greek Original:*)/aaptos: a)blabh/s. *(hrwdiano/s fhsi peri\ tou= a)/aptos, o(/ti gi/gnetai a)po\ tou= i)a/ptw to\ bla/ptw, kai\ meta\ tou= sterhtikou= a kai\ kat' e)/lleiyin tou= i a)/aptos, o(\n ou)dei\s du/natai bla/yai. h)\ ou)xi\ kata\ ste/rhsin e)klhpte/on to\ a, a)lla\ kat' e)pi/tasin, i(/n' h)=| o( mega/la duna/menos bla/ptein. w(/ste to\ me\n prw=ton dhloi= pa/qos, to\ de\ deu/teron e)ne/rgeian. le/getai de\ kai\ a)/aptos kata\ ste/rhsin o( a)/yaustos.
Notes:
This form of the headword, the nominative singular masculine/feminine, is unattested outside lexicography; however, plural forms occur frequently in hexameter poetry, in the formula
xei=res a)/aptoi or
xei=ras a)a/ptous (usually interpreted as 'irresistable hands'); e.g.
Homer,
Iliad 8.450 (web address 1).
[1] The etymological comments that follow occur only in mss G (= Parisinus 2623) and T (= Vaticanus 881); cf.
Herodianus 3.2.30.
[2] This etymology, alpha-privative +
a(/ptomai ('touch'), is the one most commonly accepted nowadays. See LSJ s.v. (web address 2) and Schwyzer,
DGE. Yet there is reason for doubt, and the correct Homeric form (attested already by
Aristophanes of
Byzantium) may actually be
a)ept-. See Chantraine s.v.
a)/aptos.

Adler number: alpha,7
Translated headword: I was addled
Vetting Status: high
Translation: [Meaning] I did wrong, I slipped up;[1] I was damaged,[2] in the sense of "I was overcome by folly."
Greek Original:*)aasa/mhn: h(/marton, e)sfa/lhn: e)bla/bhn, oi(=on a)/th| perie/peson.
Notes:
The headword is the first person singular, aorist indicative middle/passive, of
a)a/w (LSJ entry at web address 1). It is found frequently in epic poetry, e.g.
Homer Iliad 9.116 (web address 2).
[1] Up to this point the entry =
Synagoge (Codex B) alpha3 (
Lexica Segueriana 3.8 Bachmann).
[2] From here on the entry is very similar to Apollonius Sophistes,
Homeric Lexicon 1.19, and
Hesychius alpha25.

*)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).

Translated headword: irresistible
Vetting Status: high
Translation: [Something someone/something] uncontrollable.[1]
Greek Original:*)aa/sxetos: a)kra/thtos.
Notes:
A word from epic poetry, e.g.
Homer,
Iliad 5.892 (web address 1), with metrical reduplication of the initial alpha (cf. LSJ s.v.
a)/sxetos at web address 2). The headword and the gloss are both masculine/feminine nominative singular.
[1] A related but not identical word (
a)katakra/thton) is used to gloss the neuter form of the headword at
Etymologicum Magnum 1.32.

*)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.

Greek Original:*)aba/le: ei)/qe a)ba/le.
Notes:
For the headword see LSJ s.v.
a)/bale (web address 1). The entry =
Photius,
Lexicon alpha26 Theodoridis, and, with the exception of the repetition of the headword within the entry (see note 2), also
Synagoge alpha1 (
Lexica Segueriana 3.10),
Hesychius (s.v.
a)/ ba/le, alpha60) and Apollonius Sophistes,
Homeric Lexicon 2.15. The word does not occur in the extant text of
Homer, but there are other literary attestations including
Callimachus fr. 619 Pfeiffer, and
Greek Anthology 7.583.1 (
Agathias Scholasticus).
cf. generally
alpha 14.
[1] For more on
ei)/qe see
epsiloniota 55.
[2] Apparently the beginning of a quotation, perhaps from one of the works mentioned above; otherwise the repetition of the headword is hard to explain. See Theodoridis' note.

The headword adjective is attested most commonly in the plural; see e.g.
Homer,
Iliad 13.41.
LSJ s.v. (web address 1 below) notes that the initial alpha of the word is sometimes (as here) copulative but can also (e.g. in Apollonius Rhodius) be privative, i.e. noiseless.

Headword:
*)/abusson
Adler number: alpha,104
Translated headword: abyss
Vetting Status: high
Translation: [Meaning] that which not even a deep [
buqo/s] can contain; but Ionians pronounce
buqo/s as
busso/s.[1]
From which also
bussodomeu/ein ["to build in the deep"] appears to be said,[2] from the verb
du/nw ["I sink"] [meaning] I enter upon secretly, with a change [of initial consonant] [giving]
bu/w,
bu/sw,
be/busmai,
be/busai, [and the nouns]
buso/s and
a)bu/ssos [meaning] where no-one enters because of its depth.[3]
Aristophanes in
Frogs [writes]: "for immediately you will come to a huge lake, an absolute abyss."[4] And he also uses the word in the neuter: "they shall not make peace while the measureless [
a)/busson] silver is with the goddess on the Acropolis." For 1,000 talents were stored on the Acropolis.[5]
"Abyss" is what the Holy Scripture calls the watery substance. So since the land is surrounded on all sides by waters [and] by great and small seas,
David naturally called this [i.e., abyss] the earth's surrounding garment.[6] Also, "abyss calls to abyss", the same prophet says,[7] meaning figuratively military divisions and the excessive size of the multitude.[8]
"I was under water as [if] in a kind of abyss."[9]
So an abyss [is] a great amount of water.

[1] This comment on Ionian pronunciation comes from the scholiast on
Aristophanes,
Frogs 138, quoted later in the entry.
[2] In
Homer,
Odyssey, where
bussodomeu/w occurs most frequently, it has the sense "brood over."
[3] cf.
Etymologicum Magnum 4.44. These are principal parts of the verb
bu/w, which means "to stuff," followed by
buso/s, which does not exist according to LSJ. Probably this is a mistake for
busso/s, "depth of the sea" (cf.
beta 598,
busso/n). The Suda generally has little concern for the distinction between single and double consonants. The author thus seems to propose a very dubious etymology: that
a)-bussos literally means "unstuffable" -- i.e., unable to be entered. [Ms M (=
Marcianus 448) omits this sentence.]
[4]
Aristophanes,
Frogs 137-8 (web address 1).
[5] "Silver" [
a)rgu/rion] is a neuter noun in Greek, while lake [
li/mnh] in the previous sentence is feminine; the point is that the same form
a)/busson is used with both. The sentence quoted here is actually part of a scholion to
Aristophanes,
Lysistrata 173 (web address 2);
Aristophanes uses the phrase
to\ a)rgu/rion to\ a)/busson in that line itself.
