Headword:
*xalaza=|
Adler number: chi,6
Translated headword: is hailing
Vetting Status: high
Translation: i.e. is loose. "If he is hailing in the arse".[1] But this is a disease of animals, which escapes notice while they are living, but becomes apparent when they are dead and cut up. The "hailstone"[2] is mixed up and grown into their flesh. Butchers usually open the mouths of pigs with a peg after slaughter to determine whether they have hailstones.[3] Hailstone is entirely a disease of pigs.

[1]
Aristophanes,
Knights 381, with comment from a scholiast there. But its author is probably incorrect in his interpretation of
Aristophanes: the passage more probably refers to the disease detailed here, immediately below (so LSJ).
[2] i.e. tubercles or pimples.
[3]
Aristotle,
History of Animals 603b16-23, reports that these pimples appeared primarily on the underside of the tongue; numerous pimples indicated a watery and loose flesh.
