Headword: *selmw=n
Adler number: sigma,215
Translated headword: decking; Selmon
Vetting Status: high
Translation:
[Meaning] planking.[1]
Also a name of a place.[2] It also means a requital.[3]
Greek Original:
*selmw=n: sani/dwn. kai\ o)/noma to/pou. shmai/nei de\ kai\ a)ntapo/dosin.
Notes:
[1] Likewise or similarly in other lexica; references at Photius sigma139 Theodoridis. The gloss is genitive plural, so presumably the headword -- quoted from somewhere -- is too (from an unattested nominative selmo/s; the normal word is neuter se/lma). For the glossing word see sigma 92.
[2] Mount Selmon or Zalmon (Judges 9:48, etc.).
[3] This addition, also in Hesychius, relates to Psalm 67.15 LXX ("the kings shall be made snow-white in Selmon").
Keywords: botany; definition; dialects, grammar, and etymology; geography; religion; science and technology; trade and manufacture
