Headword: Abaptos
Adler number: alpha,17
Translated headword: untempered
Vetting Status: high
Translation:
Very unsharpened [1]. There is also [a superlative] ἀβαπτότατος .[2]
Greek Original:
Abaptos: astomôtatos. kai Abaptotatos.
Notes:
The headword is unattested outside lexicography.
[1] = Synagoge alpha3, the MS of Hesychius alpha68 and Photius alpha28. MSS of St. Cyril's Lexicon have what is possibly the original form of this gloss ἀστόμωτος ('unsharpened'); somehow the gloss here has been transformed to ἀστομώτατος , which would properly be the superlative of a different but potentially synonymous adjective ἄστομος . Cyril's reading has been adopted in Latte's text of Hesychius and Therodoridis' of Photius.
[2] This observation occurs only in MS A (= Parisinus 2625). The apparently superlative form of the headword is attested only here.
