Headword: *me/nos
Adler number: mu,615
Translated headword: strength, prowess
Vetting Status: high
Translation:
[Meaning] force, effort.[1]
But me/nos differs from qa/rsos ["courage"], for me/nos refers to the body, but qa/rsos to the soul.[2]
Greek Original:
*me/nos: du/namis, o(rmh/. diafe/rei de\ to\ me/nos tou= qa/rsous: to\ me\n ga\r me/nos e)sti\ tou= sw/matos, to\ de\ qa/rsos th=s yuxh=s.
Notes:
[1] Likewise or similarly in other lexica (see the references at Photius mu279 Theodoridis), and cf. also a scholion on Homer, Iliad 5.2, where me/nos and qa/rsos both occur (web address 1). *me/nos is cognate with Sanskrit mánas "spirit, passion."
[2] So scholia A on Homer, Iliad 5.2 (above). Not in mss AF of the Suda.
