Search results for lambda,79 in Adler number:
Greek display:    

Headword: Λαλίστερον
Adler number: lambda,79
Translated headword: more talkative, rather talkative
Vetting Status: low
Translation:
More/rather chatty, more/rather loquacious.
Greek Original:
Λαλίστερον: φλυαρώτερον, ἀδολεσχέστερον.
Notes:
The term and its glosses, all in the comparative degree, are given in what is either the neuter nominative/accusative singular or the masculine accusative singular. For the equally irregular superlative of λάλος see lambda 78; and for the present entry's comparative used in longer phrases see rho 60 and under tau 1094.
This contextless λαλίστερον , similarly glossed in Photius and other lexica, is probably taken from comedy: there are instances in Aristophanes (fr.668) and Menander (frs.164, 416).
Keywords: comedy; definition; dialects, grammar, and etymology
