[Meaning] to gargle.

*)anakogxulia/sai: a)nagargari/sasqai.
Note:
Same entry in other lexica, including Timaeus' Platonic Lexicon; and cf. the scholia to Plato, Symposium 185D, where the imperative a)nakogxuli/ason ('gargle with water') occurs. For this verb see also Aristophanes, Wasps 589: an ostensible allusion to breaking open the seal on an heiress's will conveys by double entente the sense of rupturing her hymen.
