Headword: *foni/a o(rmh/
Adler number: phi,571
Translated headword: murderous onslaught
Vetting Status: high
Translation:
Also [sc. attested is the phrase] fo/nion ai(=ma ["murderous blood"].[1] Also [sc. attested is] fo/nios ["murderous"], [meaning] a savage man.[2]
Greek Original:
*foni/a o(rmh/. kai\ *fo/nion ai(=ma. kai\ *fo/nios, o( w)mo\s a)nh/r.
Notes:
The headword phrase (also in the Ambrosian Lexicon, according to Adler) is probably generated by Aristophanes, Birds 345, where the Doric accusative o(rma\n foni/an occurs in a lyric passage (web address 1).
[1] This phrase is attested twice in Euripides: Heracles 1184 and Phoenician Women 933.
[2] Probably, again, from tragedy; LSJ s.v. cites many instances.
