Notes:
Glossed similarly elsewhere (esp.
Photius Lexicon alpha5; cf. also
Hesychius alpha10,
Etymologicum Gudianum 1.15). Unattested outside lexicography -- and the range of active and passive meanings suggests that the lexicographers may have been guessing at a meaning, perhaps on the basis of the (not improbable, but see Chantraine s.v.
ἀαδα ) etymology of
α -privative +
ἁδ- ('please', 'delight').
[1] This third gloss is absent from ms M (=
Marcianus 448).
