|etymtx=1.<br />Grammatical information: adj.<br />Meaning: Uncertain; of <b class="b3">πόδες</b> of Scylla (μ 89), also in opposition to the <b class="b3">ὀπίσθιοι πόδες</b> (Philem. 145).<br />Origin: XX [etym. unknown]<br />Etymology: Scholia H and Q = <b class="b3">ἄκωλοι</b>; "<b class="b3">τοὺς γὰρ Ἴωνας λέγειν φασὶ την κωλῆν ὥρην καὶ ὡραίαν</b>" (Sch. μ 89). In SIG 1037 (Miletos IV-IIIa) <b class="b3">ὥρη</b> is apart of the sacrificial animal, but different from <b class="b3">κωλῆ</b>. Bechtel (s. Lex.) translates [[Beine]], [[die keine Waden haben]] (?); his comparison with Lat. [[sūra]] (s. W.-Hofmann s. v.) seems impossible. vW. proposes to understand <b class="b3">ἄωροι</b> (H.) i.e. [[wakeful]]. The meaning in Philem. may be artificial.<br />2.<br />Grammatical information: m.<br />Meaning: [[sleep]] (Sapph. 57); (but Call. Fr. 177, 28 Pfeiffer has <b class="b3">ὦρον</b>).<br />Origin: XX [etym. unknown]<br />Etymology: EM 117, 14 = <b class="b3">ὦρος</b>, "<b class="b3">κατὰ πλεονασμὸν τοῦ α μηδεν πλέον σημαίνοντος</b>. <b class="b3">ὦρος γὰρ ὁ ὕπνος</b>". But <b class="b3">ἄωρος</b> (cod. <b class="b3">ἄορος</b>) <b class="b3">ἄυπνος</b>, <b class="b3">Μηθυμναῖοι</b> H. - Further s. <b class="b3">ὦρος</b>; also [[ἀωτέω]].
