Adler number: nu,528
Translated headword: attractive, dainty
Vetting Status: high
Translation: And a usage of this [sc. occurs] in the [volumes] of
Athenaeus.[1] There too [sc. occurs] a verb
nwgaleu/ein ["to eat sweetmeats"], out of which [comes] the [neuter noun]
nwga/leuma ["sweetmeat"]. It seems that such things, including also the
nw/gala, indicate a particular preparation useful for feasting.

Notes:
The headword is masculine accusative singular or neuter nominative/accusative singular of the rare adjective
nwgale/os. Evidently quoted from somewhere, it is unglossed here but glossed in the corresponding entry in ps.-
Zonaras as
lampro/n ("bright/shining").

Athenaeus,
Deipnosophists 2.47D (2.28 Kaibel), where more precisely, as is now indicated, words related to the headword are noted (and quotations from comedy given).
