   A becoming soft by boiling, of pulse, Thphr.HP8.8.6, CP4.12.1 sq., cf. Plu.2.701d: Comp. -ονέστερος Thphr.CP5.6.12: also of soil fit for such plants, ib.4.12.3; of water, Phot.
τεράμων (B) [ᾰ], ωνος or οντος, ὁ (?),

   A = κάλαμος, Anacr. ap. Hilgard Excerpta ex libris Herodiani (Leipzig 1887) p.21, Pl.Sph. ibid.: v. Hermes 35.544. (Said to be declined as -ντ- stem by Anacr. l.c. (this stem mentioned also by Arc. 13), but -ων -ωνος by Pl. l.c.: not found in our text of Pl.Sph., but τεράμωσι (or perh. τεράμουσι) is to be restored in 221a for καλάμοις.)
