Greek display:    

Headword: *peteino\n
Adler number: pi,1393
Translated headword: able to fly, full-fledged
Vetting Status: high
Translation:
[peteino/n] and [sc. also spelled] petehno/n.
Greek Original:
*peteino\n kai\ *petehno/n.
Notes:
The second element here, petehno/s, is an epic and poetic variant of the first, peteino/s; other variants are pethno/s and pthno/s (see LSJ s.v.).
If either peteino/n (well-attested in the Septuagint and elsewhere) or petehno/n -- masculine accusative singulars or neuter nominative/accusative singulars -- are quoted from somewhere, their source is unidentifiable. Note, however, that Hesychius has an entry for the genitive plural petehnw=n, glossed with peteinw=n. (It is quoted from Homer, Odyssey 13.87; see the scholia there.)
Keywords: dialects, grammar, and etymology; epic; poetry; zoology
