Notes:
Adler indicates this entry, which is lacking in manuscripts AFV, as an interpolation.
[1] The more common sense of the headword is "shipwreck victim," as from the verb a)/gnumi ["break"]; the meaning glossed here interprets the second element of the compound as the verb a)/gw ["lead"].
[2] It has two terminations, i.e. no special feminine forms.
[3] For instances of this, in poetry and prose alike, see LSJ s.v.
