Headword: *ste/rghqros
Adler number: sigma,1044
Translated headword: love
Vetting Status: high
Translation:
[Meaning] desire.
Greek Original:
*ste/rghqros: o( po/qos.
Notes:
The headword noun is normally neuter, not this masculine, and Adler reports that mss GM have the ste/rghqron also attested elsewhere, e.g. Hesychius sigma1759.
As to its meaning, LSJ registers two related ones: 'love-charm, applied to various plants', and (with examples in tragedy) 'love itself'. Given the Suda's glossing, the second of these must be intended here; for the first see Hesychius loc.cit.
Keywords: botany; definition; dialects, grammar, and etymology; ethics; gender and sexuality; tragedy
