Grammatical information: m.\/f.?
Meaning: μάστιξ παρ' Ίππώνακτι H.
Origin: PG [a word of Pre-Greek origin]
Etymology: Prob. a foreign word in Hipponax. Masson Hipponax 170 (fr. 130). Fur. 388 compares convincingly ἀβριστήν μάστιγα H. He concludes that it is Pre-Greek because of the cluster βδ (318), with βδ > βρ.
