Headword: *)egkw/mion
Adler number: epsilon,116
Translated headword: in the village
Vetting Status: high
Translation:
[Meaning] in the town.[1] For a village [kw/mh] [is] the town's constituent-parts.[2]
Also [sc. attested is the phrase] e)gkwmia/zw se ["I praise you"]: [i.e. used] with an accusative.[3]
Greek Original:
*)egkw/mion: e)/ndhmon. kw/mh ga\r ta\ tou= dh/mou susth/mata. kai\ *)egkwmia/zw se: ai)tiatikh=|.
Notes:
[1] Headword and gloss alike are single-word adjectives (hard to render into English except by these phrases), here in the masculine accusative singular or neuter nominative/accusative singular; neuter nominative if it quoted from Hesiod (cf. next note). LSJ s.v. explains that one strand of this adjective derives from kw/mh "village", another -- generating the substantive e)gkw/mion -- from a celebratory kw=mos (kappa 2265, kappa 2266).
[2] The entry so far -- also in Hesychius (epsilon282) and other lexica -- reproduces material in two sets of scholia: to Hesiod, Works and Days 344, where the headword is a variant reading for e)gxw/rion (see LSJ); and to Lucian, How to Write History 14, where the headword occurs in the "praise" sense. cf. generally kappa 2258, kappa 2259, kappa 2260, kappa 2261.
[3] cf. epsilon 117.
