Headword: *cunh/gage
Adler number: xi,137
Translated headword: gathered together
Vetting Status: high
Translation:
[Meaning he/she/it] fitted [something] together.[1] Aristophanes in Acharnians [writes]: "after how much [time] did he gather together his asshole". Concerning Kleonymos.[2]
Greek Original:
*cunh/gage: cunh/rmosen. *)aristofa/nhs *)axarneu=si: po/sou to\n prwkto\n sunh/gage. peri\ *klewnu/mou.
Notes:
Aristophanes, Acharnians 83 (here missing the word xro/nou: see web address 1), partly drawing on the scholia thereto (but see n.2 below); cf. pi 214.
[1] The headword (extracted from the quotation) is aorist indicative active, third person singular, of cuna/gw.
[2] A favourite Aristophanic sexual target (see kappa 1736; OCD4 Cleonymus) -- but mistakenly adduced by the lexicographer here. Instead, as is quite clear from the passage itself, the subject is the constipated Great King of Persia, and the length of time -- eight months -- it took his anal sphincter to return to normal.
