Notes:
[1] This noun is related to the verb
ἔχω . At
Herodotus 1.171 the word is neuter
ὄχανον (plural
ὄχανα ). Shield-grips were allegedly invented by the Carians.
[2] Also in
Photius and
Hesychius:
Sophocles fr. 611. The noun
ὄχος comes from the root
fεχ- .
[3] Similarly glossed in other lexica, and in a gloss on
Herodotus 2.141.5, where
τὰ ὄχανα occurs. (The dative plural most be quoted from somewhere else.)
