Headword: Κάμμορος

Translated headword: Ill-fated
Vetting Status: high
Translation:
Suffering.[1]
Greek Original:
Κάμμορος: ὁ ταλαίπωρος.
Notes:
This entry = Lexicum Ambrosianum 39. The headword is an epic contracted form of κατάμορος ('adversely-fated'), although ancient scholars tend to analyze it as deriving from κακόμορος ('bad-fated') by syncope: Etymologicum Gudianum 297.6, Etymologicum Magnum 488.42, [Zonaras] 1143; cf. Apollonios Sohpistes 95.7, Hesychius kappa604. Found frequently in the masculine vocative singular in Homer's Odyssey: e.g. 5.160 (Web address 1), 11.216, etc. The likeliest surviving source for the current form (nominative singular) is Anthologia Graeca 7.621.2.
[1] The same gloss is used (in the vocative) in the scholia to Od. 5.160.
