Headword: *)aka/qartos
Adler number: alpha,776
Translated headword: impure, unclean, uncleansed
Vetting Status: high
Translation:
[Meaning] prone to err.[1]
"At any rate, the evil man [is] impure with respect to the soul, and the opposite [man is] pure."[2]

*)aka/qartos: a(marthtikh/. a)ka/qartos ga\r th\n yuxh\n o(/ ge kako/s, kaqaro\s de\ o( e)nanti/os.
Notes:
[1] While the headword itself could be either masculine or feminine (singular) in gender, this glossing word is feminine. Perhaps, therefore, the origin of the entry -- also in ps.-Zonaras -- was a comment on menstruation. (See generally LSJ s.v.) Alternatively, on the soul, as in the quotation given.
