Headword: *)optanei=on
Adler number: omicron,486
Translated headword: roasting-place, kitchen
Vetting Status: high
Translation:
[Meaning] a butcher-shop.
Greek Original:
*)optanei=on: to\ mageirei=on.
Notes:
Likewise in other lexica; references at Photius omicron420 Theodoridis.
The spelling o)pta/nion occurs in comedy, but o)ptanei=on would be expected from o)ptanh/i+on (cited by ps.-Herodian and the Etymologicum Magnum) as well as o)ptaneu/s "one who roasts."
There seems to be no connection with omicron 487 (q.v.).
Keywords: comedy; daily life; definition; dialects, grammar, and etymology; food; trade and manufacture
