Greek display:    

Headword: *ai)pu/kerws e)/lafos
Adler number: alphaiota,275
Translated headword: high-horned stag
Vetting Status: high
Translation:
[Meaning one] having lofty horns.
Greek Original:
*ai)pu/kerws e)/lafos: u(yhla\ ke/rata e)/xwn.
Notes:
The adjective here is confined to lexica and grammars, where it appears either alone or describing a goat or (as here) a stag.
In the Greek, the headword phrase sounds like the first half of a line of hexameter verse, and if so, was presumably a quotation: see the Appendix to Crusius' edition of Babrius, p. 215.
Keywords: definition; medicine; meter and music; poetry; zoology
