Greek display:    
Headword: *ga/la
Adler number: gamma,20
Translated headword: milk
Vetting Status: high
Translation:
[Milk] disperses the conspiracies of hostile people. Milk is a fosterer of mild manners.
Greek Original:
*ga/la skeda/zei dusmenw=n sumbouli/as. *ga/la galhnw=n pro/cenon pe/lei tro/pwn.
Note:
A dream interpretation (or perhaps two separate interpretations) in the form of proverb-like sentiments cast in iambic verse, the latter playing upon on the similarity of the words for milk, ga/la, and mild, galhnw=n. The 'disperses' version (cf. sigma 553) comes from Nicephorus I, Dream Book gamma19; the 'fosterer' version is like gamma18 there.
