Greek display:    

Headword: Aeroen
Adler number: alpha,562
Translated headword: airy, cloudy, murky
Vetting Status: high
Translation:
[Meaning] great.
Greek Original:
Aeroen: to mega.
Notes:
Same entry in ps.-Zonaras; longer one in Hesychius, who gives two other synonyms before the present one (me/lan, baqu/).
An oddity; possibly a gloss on the occurrence of the neuter singular headword in a writer using the Doric dialect. (The epic form is h)ero/en; cf. eta 126.)
In extant Greek the only possibility is Telestes [tau 265] fr. 1c.2 (= Page, PMG 805 = Athenaeus, Deipnosophists 14.617A [14.7 Kaibel]), where the headword is an emendation, for the transmitted a)erqe/n, by Bergk; it qualifies "breath" (in context of aulos-playing).
Keywords: definition; dialects, grammar, and etymology; epic; meter and music; poetry
