English (LSJ)

ωνος, ὁ, ἡ, (τρέω)

   A timorous, shy, in Hom. always epith. of doves (i. e. of περιστεραί, the genus of which πέλειαι are a species, acc. to Eust.1262.61), τρήρωσι πελειάσιν Il.5.778, h.Ap.114, cf. Ar. Av.575; πέλειαι τρήρωνες Od.12.63; τρήρωνα πέλειαν Il.22.140, 23.853, cf. A.R.3.541; κέπφοι τ. Ar.Pax 1067.    II fem. Subst. trembler, = περιστερά (metaph. of women), Lyc.87,423. (Since the Subst. is implied for Hom. in πολυτρήρων, τ. is perh. always a Subst., name of the genus, and τ. πελειάδες is to be compared with ἴρηξ κίρκος, σῦς κάπρος, etc.)
