Headword: *kainou=n
Adler number: kappa,1179
Translated headword: to inaugurate
Vetting Status: high
Translation:
In Herodotus [this means] using a word that is new.
Greek Original:
*kainou=n: para\ *(hrodo/tw| to\ lo/gw| tw=| kainw=| xrh/sasqai.
Note:
For this sense of the headword verb kaino/w, here in its present infinitive, see LSJ s.v., II (= kaini/zw, kappa 1170). The gloss comes from a misguided gloss on Herodotus 2.100.3 (web address 1), where this infinitive does occur (of Nitokris inaugurating an underground chamber) but tw=| lo/gw| is part of an 'ostensibly a, actually b' contrast.
