[1] Same or similar glossing in Photius and other lexica, some of which indicate that the headword is neuter nominative/accusative singular (i.e. rather than masculine accusative).
[2] Greek Anthology 6.258.3-4 (using a feminine noun related to the headword -- Attic gewmori/an rather than the Suda's Ionic gewmori/hn); cf. alpha 2751. On this epigram, in which the farmer Krithon/Crethon dedicates livestock and cakes to Demeter, see Gow and Page (vol. I, 4-5); (vol. II, 4-5); and further extracts at omicron 26, omicron 95, and phi 507. Gow and Page remark (vol. II, 5) that, its dialect notwithstanding, the compound gewmori/an is a rare word.
