Search results for omega,63 in Adler number:
Greek display:    

Headword: *)wle/kranon
Adler number: omega,63
Translated headword: arm-top
Vetting Status: high
Translation:
[Meaning] the elbow.
Greek Original:
*)wle/kranon: o( a)gkw/n.
Note:
See more fully at omicron 142, where Aristophanes (Peace 443) is cited for the word, and an etymology given: head or top (karanon or kranion) of the olene, that part of the arm between elbow and hand. The omega-form is the more authentic, but omicron is metrically necessary in the Peace passage, and in fact both are attested elsewhere: see LSJ s.v.
Keywords: comedy; definition; dialects, grammar, and etymology; medicine
