Headword: *)/anoia
Adler number: alpha,2771
Translated headword: ignorance
Vetting Status: high
Translation:
[Meaning] insensibility.[1]
Greek Original:
*)/anoia: h( a)naisqhsi/a.
Notes:
The entry has no equivalent in other lexica, though Hesychius has genitive a)noi/as (quoted from Euripides, Hecuba 641, in Latte's view) glossed with mwri/as.
[1] Or: lack of perception. (This same gloss, a)naisqhsi/a, has been given for a)maqi/a at alpha 1471.) The term anoia can also mean lack of intelligence, as Plato uses it at the end of Timaeus (92C).
Keywords: definition; dialects, grammar, and etymology; philosophy; tragedy
