Headword: *)espaqa=to
Adler number: epsilon,3177
Translated headword: was woven
Vetting Status: high

Demosthenes in the [speech] Against Aeschines [uses this] to mean was killed.[1] From the blade [spa/qh]. Alternatively, was cast out, or was cut through; or meaning was pressed together. From the weavers' blade, which presses the woof together.

Notes:
An abridgement of Harpokration s.v., where it is clearer than it is here that two lines of interpretation are competing: spa/qh as sword and as weaving implement.
cf. delta 962, epsilon 3176, epsilon 3178; and see generally LSJ s.v. spa/qh (web address 1).
