Search results for omega,48 in Adler number:
Headword:
Ὠκινάκης
Adler number: omega,48
Translated headword: scimitar
Vetting Status: high
Translation: Not otherwise an Attic [form],[1] but
Herodotus says it thus, the okinake.[2]
Ὠκινάκης: οὐδ' ἄλλως Ἀττικόν, ἀλλὰ Ἡρόδοτος οὕτως λέγει, τὸν ὠκινάκην.
Notes:
[1] i.e. when it begins, as here, with omega and not the usual alpha. See generally
alpha 882.
[2]
Herodotus mentions scimitars several times (see esp. 7.54.2, with a definition), but nowhere do the mss reliably transmit the omega form.
