Headword: *lw/|onos
Adler number: lambda,729
Translated headword: better
Vetting Status: high
Translation:
[Referring to] the stronger argument.
Greek Original:
*lw/|onos: tou= krei/ttonos lo/gou.
Notes:
Comparable entry, according to Adler, in the Ambrosian Lexicon (731).
Headword and glossing phrase are in the genitive case. The headword must be quoted from somewhere; Sophocles proffers two instances (Oedipus Tyrannus 1513, Philoctetes 1099), but neither lends itself to the specificity of the glossing phrase.
For the comparative lwi/+wn see also lambda 726, lambda 728.
Keywords: definition; dialects, grammar, and etymology; rhetoric; tragedy
