Headword: Ἔλινος
Adler number: epsilon,859
Translated headword: vine
Vetting Status: low
Translation:
A fruit.
Greek Original:
Ἔλινος καρπός.
Notes:
Adler refers to the unedited Lexicon Ambrosianum 551 as a comparandum.
Apparently the headword is a variant of what is more commonly encountered as ἕλινος , with the rough breathing, and which means properly 'vine' or 'tendril' (cognate with the verb ἐλίσσω : epsilon 871, epsilon 872), but can stand pars pro toto for the grape plant. It appears with the smooth breathing, expressly in this sense, in the text of Eustathius, Commentary on Diogenes the Periegete 1153.11, 43, and with a smooth breathing and oxytone accent in Etymologicum Magnum 330.40.
