Headword:
*ai(matopo/ths
Adler number: alphaiota,194
Translated headword: blood-drinker
Vetting Status: high
Translation: [Meaning] a murderer.[1]
Colloquially applied to the serpent, for the animal drinks blood. Also to the sausage-seller, for they fill intestines and sausages with a mixture of blood and lard and barley. A blood-drinker, then, is one who consumes blood and, in a manner of speaking, gulps it down.[2]
[Spelled] with omega, like u(dropw/ths ["water-drinker"].[3]

[3] cf.
upsilon 62 (where however
u(dropo/ths is spelled with omicron).
