Notes:
Feminine nominative singular form of polu/forbos, an adjective which normally has only two terminations (see LSJ entry at web address 1). Similarly glossed in Hesychius and in a scholion on Homer, Iliad 9.568, where the headword occurs in the accusative; and cf. already at pi 1943.
The adjective is used only in archaic epic poetry (cf. also Homer, Iliad 14.200; 14.301; Hesiod, Theogony 912) and in Simonides fr.6.4, line 2.
For the related verb fe/rbw, see phi 205.
