Headword: *(upo/bolon
Adler number: upsilon,459
Translated headword: foundation?, groundwork?
Vetting Status: high
Translation:
[Meaning] the toe.
Greek Original:
*(upo/bolon: to\ daktuli/dion.
Note:
A mysterious entry, where the sense of the gloss (cf. under zeta 187) is clearer than that of the headword. In other contexts the headword can mean security for a debt (e.g. Pollux 3.85, Photius s.v., and cf. LSJ s.v. u(po/bolos, 'f[alsa] l[ectio] for u(pw/bolos', mortgaged); but 'toe' as the gloss seems to require here a broader sense, drawing on the etymology of u(poba/llw.
