Headword:
Χνόας
Adler number: chi,359
Translated headword: naves
Vetting Status: low
Translation: The spokes of the wheel. A spoke is the part that is affixed to the hole of a wheel; and it is thus called the nave of the wheel. It is pronounced with recessive accent; for disyllabic [nouns] ending in the vowel eta after omicron (of those that begin with an aspirate) are given a recessive accent, e.g. χνόη ["nave"], φθόη ["decay"], χλόη ["sprout"].[1] But the [word] πνοή ["breath"] does not have aspiration.[2]
Greek Original:Χνόας: τὰς σύριγγας τοῦ ἄξονος. σύριγξ δέ ἐστι τὸ εἰς τὴν ὀπὴν τοῦ τροχοῦ ἐμβαλλόμενον μέρος τοῦ ἄξονος: καὶ αὐτὴ δὲ ἡ ὀπὴ τοῦ τροχοῦ οὕτως καλεῖται. εἴρηται δὲ βαρέως: τὰ γὰρ εἰς η καθαρὸν δισύλλαβα τῷ ο παραληγόμενα, ὧν προηγεῖται δασύ, βαρύνεται: χνόη, φθόη, χλόη. τὸ δὲ πνοὴ οὐκ ἔχει δασύ.
Notes:
The body of this entry is taken from the
scholia to
Sophocles,
Electra 716 (web address 1), where the headword (the accusative plural of
χνόη ) appears. See also Herodian the Grammarian 3.1.305.22.
[1] That is, all of these words are accented on omicron, in the first syllable.
[2] And accordingly, its accent is on the last syllable, the eta.
