Headword: *karfale/on
Adler number: kappa,438
Translated headword: parched
Vetting Status: high
Translation:
[Meaning] dry.[1] Also [sc. attested is] karxale/on ["rough"], [meaning] very dry.[2]
Greek Original:
*karfale/on: chro/n. kai\ karxale/on, kata/chron.
Notes:
Same entry in Photius kappa213, where Theodoridis identifies the source of the primary headword as Homer, Iliad 13.409 (web address 1). He also makes it typographically clearer than does Adler here that the words which follow 'dry' are a second lemma plus gloss; cf. n. 2 below.
[1] So too in the scholia to the Homeric passage above-mentioned. The headword refers there to the ringing of a shield dryly (i.e. sharply).
[2] cf. kappa 440.
