Greek display:    

Headword: *tru/zei
Adler number: tau,1100
Translated headword: mutters
Vetting Status: high
Translation:
[Meaning he/she/it] whispers, murmurs, utters unintelligibly. Just like the turtle-dove; since it vocalizes unintelligibly and murmuringly.
Greek Original:
*tru/zei: yiquri/zei, goggu/zei, a)sh/mws lalei=. paro\ kai\ h( trugw/n: e)pei\ a)sh/mws fqe/ggetai kai\ goggustikw=s.
Note:
Likewise or similarly in other lexica; references at Photius tau523 Theodoridis. The headword must be quoted from somewhere where, if the glossing it is correct, it is used in the sense of LSJ s.v. tru/zw 1. (The source could be Aristophanes, Frogs 683, but only if F.V. Fritzsche (1806-1887) was right to suggest tru/zei there for the transmitted keladei=.) On the sounds made by a turtle-dove, cf. tau 1094.
