Headword: *kro/kh
Adler number: kappa,2458
Translated headword: weft, woof
Vetting Status: high
Translation:
[Meaning] spun thread.[1]
Also [sc. attested is the adjective] kroku/fantos ["weft-woven"];[2] because it is woven through a weft. But some say that it [comes] from the hairnet [kekru/falos], because it conceals [kru/ptei] the fa/lon; which is a boss of a head.[3]
The accusative [is] th\n kro/ka.[4]

Notes:
[1] Same or similar glossing in other lexica (see the references at Photius kappa1108 Theodoridis), and cf. scholia to Aristophanes, Wasps 1144, where the genitive kro/khs occurs (web address 1). See further, n.3.
[2] Uncommonly (outside lexica and scholia), but see the figurative use in Marcus Aurelius, Meditations 2.2.
[3] Also from the Aristophanic scholia.
[4] From iota 482.
