[Meaning he/she/it] grumbles.

Note:
= Photius sigma358 Theodoridis. The headword (present indicative active, third person singular) must be quoted from somewhere but is attested only in lexicography, where this verb has two (related?) meanings ascribed to it: the one given here and the one given in the next entry (sigma 652), where it refers to a noisy slap on the belly or rear delivered with the foot. Hesychius sigma1082 alludes to both definitions.
