Headword: Χαμαιπέτεια
Adler number: chi,71
Translated headword: being thrown to the ground
Vetting Status: low
Translation:
Also [sc. attested is] χαμαιπετής , one thrown to the ground.[1]
Greek Original:
Χαμαιπέτεια. καὶ Χαμαιπετής, χαμαὶ ἐρριμμένος.
Notes:
The rare (and unglossed) headword is not a participle, but an abstract noun expressing quality (ie. "thrown-to-the-ground-ness").
[1] This cognate adjective χαμαιπετής , here in the masculine singular nominative, is simularly glossed in other lexica; evidently quoted from somewhere (perhaps Plato, Symposium 203D), and cf. under upsilon 35.
Keywords: athletics; definition; dialects, grammar, and etymology; imagery; philosophy
