Headword:
*)amfw=es
Adler number: alpha,1791
Translated headword: two-eared
Vetting Status: high
Translation: [Two-eared] and [sc. also attested is] two-handled. Also [sc. attested is] a)mfwti/dwn ["ear-muffs"], [meaning] of ones which have two ears.
And [there is] a proverb: "up to the ear-muffs"; in reference to those things which are exceedingly full, meaning up to the ears.[1]
Greek Original:*)amfw=es kai\ *)amfwti/des. kai\ *)amfwti/dwn, tw=n du/o w)=ta e)xousw=n. kai\ paroimi/a: *me/xri tw=n a)mfwti/dwn: e)pi\ tw=n a)/gan peplhrwme/nwn, a)nti\ tou= me/xri tw=n w)/twn.
Notes:
The two unglossed primary headwords are a neuter singular and a nominative plural,
a)mfw=es (probably from
Theocritus,
Idylls 1.28 -- cf. Orion [
Author,
Myth] s.v.
a)mfwreu/s) and
a)mfwti/des. The genitive plural
a)mfwti/dwn is presumably extracted from the proverb quoted, though the Suda's glossing seems uncomprehending.
[1] Again at
mu 826. For ear-muffs, worn especially by boxers, see LSJ s.v.
