Greek display:    

Headword: *)/ionqos
Adler number: iota,416
Translated headword: hair-flowering, beard-growth
Vetting Status: high
Translation:
[Meaning] the initial outgrowth of the hairs, [a word derived] from i)e/nai ["to go"] and a)nqei=n ["to flower"].
Greek Original:
*)/ionqos: h( prw/th e)/kfusis tw=n trixw=n, a)po\ tou= i)e/nai kai\ a)nqei=n.
Note:
LSJ s.v. actually distinguishes between two senses: "root of a hair, young hair (often in plural); and "eruption on the face, which often accompanies the first growth of the beard". A late word, in either case, though it has an early cognate adjective (i)onqa/s: Homer, Odyssey 14.50).
