Search results for alpha,1181 in Adler number:
Greek display:    

Headword: Alêkos
Adler number: alpha,1181
Translated headword: of Alex
Vetting Status: high
Translation:
[Referring to a] river [of that name].
Greek Original:
Alêkos: potamos.
Notes:
Adler draws attention (by a simple "cf.") to the suspiciously similar entry alpha 1195: A)/lhc: o)/noma to/pou, where Gaisford had suggested emendation to o)/noma potamou=. It is obviously possible that a river and a "place" shared the same name, but in any event the name will be A)/lhc, genitive A)/lhkos.
Another, remoter possibility is that the zeta has dropped off an entry for the river Zalekos in Pontos, modern Turkey.
Keywords: definition; dialects, grammar, and etymology; geography
