Greek display:    
Headword: Δαί̈μονος
Adler number: delta,15
Translated headword: of a daimon
Vetting Status: low
Translation:
Of the daimon.
Greek Original:
Δαί̈μονος: τοῦ δαίμονος.
Notes:
Genitive singulars of the noun δαίμων (spirit, god, demon); conventional - i.e. trisyllabic - in the gloss, but quadrisyllabic (by diaeresis) in the headword.
At Cratylus 398b, Plato etymologizes δαίμων as from δαήμων . Perhaps this led some later poet to treat δαίμονος as four syllables.
Keywords: definition; dialects, grammar, and etymology; religion
