Notes:
Same material, variously, in other lexica. The primary headword, evidently quoted from somewhere (there are numerous possibilities), is neuter singular of the adjective a)mfilafh/s; the secondary one is the related abstract noun.
On the adjective see LSJ s.v.; it has a cluster of meanings both literal (e.g. a wide-spreading tree, thick hair) and figurative.
