Vetting Status: high
Translation:
[Meaning] to go over in the mind, to recollect. It is created from those counting continually and repeatedly with the five fingers of their hand, as if counting by fives [kata\ penta/da].[1]

Greek Original:
*)anapempa/zein: a)naneou=sqai, a)namimnh/skesqai. pepoi/htai a)po\ tw=n toi=s pe/nte daktu/lois th=s xeiro\s sunexe\s a)riqmou/ntwn kai\ e)panalambano/ntwn, oi(onei\ kata\ penta/da a)riqmou/ntwn. kai\ *)anapempazo/menoi, a)nariqmou/menoi, skepto/menoi.
Notes:
Same entry in ps.-Zonaras; similar ones in Photius (s.v. a)napempa/zesqai) and Hesychius (s.v. a)napempa/zei and a)napempazo/menoi, on the second of which see below).
[1] The Aeolic form for pe/nte "five" is pe/mpe -- both from Indo-European *penkwe.
[2] This actual form of the present middle participle, the nominative masculine plural, occurs in (and might therefore be quoted here from) Lucian, Menippus 12. Note however that Photius s.v. cites Plato in this context, i.e. accusative a)napempazome/nous in Plato, Laws 724B.
