Περὶ τοῦ ἐπέκεινα τοῦ νοῦ κατὰ μὲν νόησιν πολλὰ λέγεται, θεωρεῖται δὲ ἀνοησίᾳ κρείττονι νοήσεως → On the subject of that which is beyond intellect, many statements are made on the basis of intellection, but it may be immediately cognised only by means of a non-intellection superior to intellection

Porphyry, Sententiae, 25

Greek Monolingual

(ΑΜ ὀνειρώττω και ὀνειρώσσω)
έχω ονείρωξη, εκσπερμάτιση κατά τη διάρκεια του ύπνου
αρχ.

[ΕΤΥΜΟΛ. < ὄνειρος + κατάλ. -ώσσω / -ώττω, δηλωτική ασθένειας (πρβλ. λοιμ-ώττω, υπν-ώττω)].
