Headword: *trixologei=n
Adler number: tau,1041
Translated headword: to hair-count
Vetting Status: high
Translation:
[Meaning] to count up the hairs and to exercise thought about them.
Greek Original:
*trixologei=n: ta\s tri/xas a)nale/gesqai kai\ peri\ au)tw=n fronti/zein.
Notes:
Same entry in Photius and other lexica.
LSJ s.v. registers this rare verb only for its appearance in a Hippocratic case-study (Epidemics 3.17) describing one of the symptoms of a dying Thasian woman; but these lexica seem to be describing something different.
Keywords: definition; geography; mathematics; medicine; philosophy; women
